The introduction of Covid-19 in Wuhan, China, in 2019 and later spread to other parts of the World, managed to disrupt the daily normalcy of activities in a way never seen before in the history of man. Covid-19 has affected active sectors of production across the World, paving more challenges in the modern competitive market. 

Several surveys carried out by a section of Organizations Globally have confirmed that many people have been left jobless in the face of the novel Covid-19. It is as a result of social gathering restrictions in business sectors and a limited number of employees in different working stations.

The question that remains unanswered to many is how are we going to cope with the situation at hand and bring our businesses back to life. Every business person is asking himself or herself if the customers are actively engaged in buying products at this time when the whole World is fighting Covid-19. The answer to this question is that life continued with the introduction of Covid-19 in the World. Life did not stop. In other words, customers are out there looking for and buying essential to luxury items.

According to a report published by LYFE Marketing social media management company, it is possible to publicize one’s business at this time and still perform so well like before. While writing to LYFE Marketing, one JHOAN affirms that one of their clients is generating 7x their ROAS amidst the battle with the Covid-19 scourge.

Since many people are at their homes, they are spending more time surveying items in shopping malls and, as such, while on their smartphones browsing. A business-oriented individual should use this time to win over the stiff competition in the market.

Kenz Laurenz, a fashion design brand producing accessories and wears in conjunction with LYFE marketing, engaged in an operation to improve their (Kenz Laurenz) marketing methodology in the face of the deadly novel Covid-19 and managed to achieve their set goals through the newly Facebook ads campaign on 2nd April 2020.
