Quarantine restrictions are keeping people away from crowds, thus evacuating the most socially crowded places like cinema halls, shopping malls and retail stores. But, in spite of business taking a hit,\u00a0brands during COVID times cannot stay quite. While some brands like Hindustan Unilever and Amul have already come up with creative strategies to increase awareness against this deadly pandemic, other brands are yet to figure out what can they do for their part.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_76 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/scoreindia.org\/blog\/brands-during-covid-times\/#Here_are_some_of_the_things_that_the_brands_during_COVID_times_should_take_into_consideration\" >Here are some of the things that the\u00a0brands during COVID times should take into consideration:<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-5' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-5'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-5' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-5'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/scoreindia.org\/blog\/brands-during-covid-times\/#More_Interesting_Reads\" >More Interesting Reads:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 data-adtags-visited=\"true\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_are_some_of_the_things_that_the_brands_during_COVID_times_should_take_into_consideration\"><\/span>Here are some of the things that the\u00a0brands during COVID times should take into consideration:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Staying informed and eradication of fake news:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0In this age of social media, everyone gets to know everything. But, we often do not pay attention to the credibility of the news or its source. Thus, brands should make sure that all their employees are properly equipped with the correct information from credible websites such as World Health Organisation (WHO) or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Also, companies should look into the fact that there is no spread of fake news and panic amongst its employees.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Taking safety measures:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0This virus has symptoms that are extremely common such as cough and cold, fever etc. Companies should be strict about the fact that even if somebody has mild fever, that person should stay back and not spread the contamination further. Thus, employees should be given work from home so that there is not much public interaction. Even if there are office hours, then sanitary masks, hand washes and sanitizers should be provided by the company itself. In this context, I would like to mention what Amul did. They came up with an infographic which said\u00a0<em>\u201cBetter saaf, then sorry!\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Be humanistic:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0In this time of crisis, brands should be human enough to actually promote awareness by keeping their financial or reputational gains aside. A perfect example of this has already been showcased by Lifebuoy, the medicinal soap brand under Hindustan Unilever where they put out a print advertisement mentioning all their competitor brands as well. The motive behind doing so was that they wanted to spread the message of awareness that people should buy any soap that they have access to because prevention is the biggest key right now!<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Be creative:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Brands should also focus on being creative while dolling out a message in a certain format- be it print or digital. For instance, Netflix is using a scene from its extremely popular web series called Sex Education where Maeve, the lead female character is shown saying, \u201cWash your hands, you detty pig!\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-adtags-visited=\"true\">Brands often act as big influences in our life. Hence, brands during COVID times should be the first one to step in and spread as much awareness as they can!<\/p>\n<h5 data-adtags-visited=\"true\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Interesting_Reads\"><\/span><em>More Interesting Reads:<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scoreindia.org\/blog\/word-mouth-brands-built-public-relations\/\">Brands Build on Public Relations through Word of Mouth\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scoreindia.org\/blog\/top-pr-tools-techniques\/\">8 PR Tools Brands Should Count on This Year<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-adtags-visited=\"true\">&#8211;<strong>Baishali Banerjee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Baishali Banerjee<\/strong>\u00a0is a part of the Class of 2020 of PG Programme in PR and Corporate Communications at SCoRe, Mumbai.
