Navigating Digital Communications in a Post-Pandemic World

Digital Communications Post-COVID

You’ve probably heard this before: following the coronavirus pandemic, life moving forward will be described as life before and after the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for change in ways no individual or business can ignore. While it’s common for companies to change, it seldom happens at the scale it has due to the pandemic.

The apparent shifts in the modern enterprise show as businesses embrace the new normal. Top amongst the areas most affected by this change is how communications happen. New universal truth is forming; the traditional way of communicating is dead. Digital communications platforms are gaining traction.

Across the globe, companies have increased their use of digital communications channels, some adopting new platforms for the first time. For instance, live chat and interactive voice response (IVR) gained traction through the pandemic, with one in three enterprises adopting them for the first time. The uptake of video calling has accelerated, causing data usage to grow significantly. There is clear evidence now that the majority of consumers (70%) will continue their pandemic communication behaviors long after the pandemic is over.

Post-COVID Enterprise Communications

For businesses, understanding how these changes will affect enterprise communications is vital to making the most of the new normal. Companies need to figure out how workplace communications are changing and how to take advantage of the opportunities that this shift will bring.

In a post-COVID world, businesses must embrace digital communications platforms to remain relevant and top of mind with consumers. How consumers communicate has changed, and companies need to change with them.

Here are some tips on how you can navigate digital communications in a post-pandemic world:

1. Understand the new customer digital communications landscape

The first step is to understand how the customer communications landscape has changed. How consumers communicate has changed, and businesses need to change with them. With more people working from home, there has been a shift in the way people communicate. Email, instant messaging, and video conferencing have become the new norm.

2. Adopt a multi-channel digital communications approach

To reach your target audience, you need to adopt a multi-channel approach. This means using a combination of digital channels such as SMS/MMS, programmatic voice, email, social media, and website banners to reach your target audience.

3. Use data to inform your decisions

Data should be at the center of all your decisions regarding digital communications. Use data to segment your audience, understand their needs, and craft personalized messages that resonate with them.

4. Automate your digital communications

In a post-pandemic world, businesses need to automate their communications. This helps you save time and resources while delivering high-quality customer experiences.

5. Be agile

In a post-pandemic world, businesses need to be agile. This means being able to adapt to changes in the marketplace quickly. Be prepared to make changes to your communications strategy on the fly.

6. Focus on the customer experience

The customer experience should be at the forefront of all your communications. In a post-pandemic world, businesses must focus on delivering high-quality customer experiences.

7. Measure your success

Finally, you need to measure your success. This means setting up metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to track the performance of your digital communications. Doing so will help you optimize your strategy and ensure you get the most out of your communications.
