Marketing in a post COVID-19 world!
Consumers across countries are increasingly spending more time on a wide variety of digital activities, right from online grocery shopping, to video conferencing, to tele-medicine.
There is a good chance that you performed one or more of the following activities during this lockdown, thanks to COVID 19:
- Cooked a meal
- Made a TikTok Video
- Signed up for a remote learning session
- Consulted a doctor online (or ordered medicines online)
- Shopped for groceries online
A study by Hunter, a food and beverage marketing communications firm, noted that 54% of Americans are cooking more than they were before the pandemic, and 35% say they “enjoy cooking more now than ever.”
According to a McKinsey’s research, some categories are seeing an influx of new customers who haven’t engaged in that activity before. Here are some examples:
- TikTok usage is markedly increased in France and Spain
- Restaurant and store curbside pickup has dramatically increased in the US, UK, Spain, and Italy
- Remote learning has increased significantly in the US, France, Italy, and China
- Telemedicine has increased across nearly all countries surveyed
As per the report, 40% to 60% of consumers indicated that they intend to stick with this behavior going forward, depending on the category.
So here's the big question:
a) How are you adapting to the new consumer behaviour?
b) What is your sales and marketing strategy in the post Covid-19 world?
Let's discuss.

Is there any way to set up plans and pricing in Zoho Subscriptions and have those available as Products in the CRM? We are trying to set up the CRM and the Products seem to be more geared toward selling products that are not subscription based.

We have products that are one time products and subscription products. 1) We would like to have the ability to create an opportunity in CRM that includes both one-time charge products and subscription products. Currently the only way of creating a subscription product is by defining a "Product->Plan" hierarchy in Zoho Subscription.

Hello, Is it possible to add customer address information to the Zoho bookings appointment screen? Or have it pull that information automatically from the CRM? We are wanting to use this as a field management software but it is difficult to pull the address from multiple sources when it would be ideal to have a clickable address on the appointment screen that opens up the user's maps.
