The world is reeling in the wake of the spread of a pandemic. No country, community, or person has escaped the impact of this virus, either directly or indirectly, and the number one priority at this time should be keeping loved ones safe, healthy, and well.
Businesses global and local have suffered heavy losses in a matter of weeks, and we have seen a colossal shift in the way business operates during this pandemic. Whilst some sectors have been hit harder than others, it’s safe to say that no business is operating as usual at this time. Now more than ever, it is imperative that brands continue to communicate throughout the crisis.
At Swrve, we have always seen the value and critical importance of brands being mobile-first with 1:1 communication. But in the midst of this pandemic, mobile technology has proven more important than ever—while it’s long been a major channel for real-time communication, mobile is now mission-critical for brands trying to reach their customers. Swrve empowers hundreds of brands to message billions of users around the world, and we’re seeing significant trends emerging in the way customers are engaging with brands, even in industries that are being deeply affected by the crisis.
Over the past few weeks, we have seen some truly wonderful mobile messaging that adds real value to customers during this incredibly difficult time. We wanted to highlight some of the incredible engagement strategies we’ve seen from brands, and outline exactly why they’re effective during this time.
