Staying connected and surviving COVID-19

Over the next few weeks, accountancy practices and their clients will become more reliant than ever on ensuring they have a watertight online marketing strategy. It could be the deciding factor as to which firms keep their clients engaged and retain their competitive edge.

Adapting to the ‘new norm’

As we adapt to the new normal, remote working and collaborative approaches are being adopted by accountancy firms to ensure they and their clients continue business as normal. As access to a physical presence is temporarily restricted, many are considering how to improve their online presence, which is vital in keeping clients engaged.

We understand the importance of remaining connected to your clients. Collaborative tools such as MS Teams or Zoom are great tools for communicating with your team or colleagues, as they allow the creation of a real presence, as well as productive conversations.

Revisiting your online marketing strategy

Now, more than ever, having a robust online marketing strategy is critical in order to keep things moving forward.

Targeting the right audiences, reaching your clients digitally, and taking advantage of the wealth of tools available to keep businesses moving, will ensure your practice is positioned in a positive light and demonstrate that it is responding well in a rapidly changing environment. This is crucial if you want to maintain a competitive edge during these turbulent times.

It may be as simple as refreshing your look on your social media channels, reinventing the way you produce your content, or finding new and exciting ways to reach your customers. It may even be the perfect time to completely update your look and revamp your brand.
