This week our host, Sashi Carnero, checks in with listeners in the wake of Hurricane Milton and Helene, to share useful tips on how to navigate social media after a crisis. It’s common to feel a sense of uncertainty on the timing and subject matter of social media content when something major happens in your community. You start to ask ‘should I go back to posting normal content?’ or ‘do I need to create content that acknowledges the current crisis?’ There is no right or wrong answer, it all comes down to your business and what feels right to you and your team. What you can do is lead with empathy and consider pausing promotional messaging to be mindful of your customers and what they may be feeling. We hope the helpful tips in this episode help guide you during this time or any future events!
