     Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses were operating as usual with offices and in person communication that was crucial for their business operations. When there was talk of the virus coming to the United States, people were wary, but sure it wouldn’t directly affect them and their jobs. As soon as businesses realized that yes, the coronavirus was here, there was a sense of panic and organized chaos that resulted in most businesses having to move online. 

1. Do some Research

As businesses across the globe plunged into the digital business world, there was a strong need for easy transition and organized oversight to ensure the organization stays connected and informed. THIS is where community management comes in! 

     With the ongoing pandemic, we have seen businesses struggle to maintain high productivity while working from home. Working from home can be an uncomfortable adjustment, so we put together some tips for people to help with efficiency and effective communication. 

     During this time where many of us are working from home, there is a heightened need for online presence in order to attract people to your organization. Community outreach is an important aspect to all businesses, and we wanted to share some pro-tips we have learned through building an online community platform. Here are some tips for connecting with people as business moves online!

1. Search hashtags and keywords 

If you want to access people who are posting and interested in a certain topic, search for keyword hashtags on social media. By doing this, you are narrowing down your target audience to those who could be potential partners in your business or members of your organization. The hashtag feature is used widely on the Breezio platform in order to categorize posts and discussions by topic and key words.  

People underestimate the power of a well thought out presentation. If you want your boss and peers to really be invested in what you have to say, stick to these four ways to create a cohesive and interesting presentation. Especially as we shift to working remotely, it is important to have organized and thoughtful information on a presentation in order to be successful. 

We are thinking of all those affected by the novel coronavirus and sending huge “thank you’s” to those essential workers who are working tirelessly to keep our communities safe and healthy. It is the responsibility of individuals to be cautious and thoughtful of others during this time so that we can work to “flatten the curve” and prevent future devastations.
