No, and you\u2019d be crazy to argue otherwise. But it\u2019s still possible to get your message out there.

They know you miss eating out and want to support your favorite local restaurants, and they can make that happen for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also know that you\u2019re worried about contamination. Further down in the email, they emphasize contactless delivery to alleviate those fears. Overall, Caviar spends less time talking in circles and bemoaning the situation and more time getting right to the point with a solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-86667\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/creative-live.png\" alt=\"creative live banner nature\" width=\"550\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/creative-live.png 550w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/creative-live-352x460.png 352w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/creative-live-337x440.png 337w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/creative-live-161x210.png 161w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CreativeLive: Explore from Indoors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Caviar, CreativeLive is a great example of a relevant business positioning themselves as a source of potential comfort, distraction, or inspiration. They know that a lot of people are looking around a little aimlessly for something to do &#8211; and learning a new hobby or building some skills can be a great productive distraction from all that annoying existential dread.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes this email especially poignant and understanding is that they don\u2019t just throw up an overwhelming list of classes you could be taking &#8211; learn watercolor! And pottery! And how to stand on your head! &#8211; they narrow in on one class and show how it can be applied creatively. When you would usually associate amazing photography with traveling the world, CreativeLive shows you that you have a wonderful view to take advantage of right outside your window.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-86671\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/seatgeek-example-email.png\" alt=\"seatgeek example email\" width=\"630\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/seatgeek-example-email.png 630w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/seatgeek-example-email-479x460.png 479w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/seatgeek-example-email-458x440.png 458w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/seatgeek-example-email-219x210.png 219w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seatgeek: Heartfelt and Reassuring<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are few industries hit harder than big live events, and Seatgeek sells tickets to basically all of them. How do you market to your customers when you have nothing to sell? You speak to them from the heart. This genuine email from Seatgeek\u2019s founder (subject line \u201cfrom one fan to another\u201d speaks volumes on its own) speaks to things we\u2019re all feeling right now &#8211; sadness, loss &#8211; and also points to hope for the future. He also reassures everyone that their tickets will be refunded for all canceled events, which is clearly at the top of a lot of fans\u2019 minds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brand awareness matters. Connecting emotionally with customers is a huge marketing win, even if you can\u2019t make a sale today (or this week, or this month). We all know that marketing isn\u2019t a sprint, it\u2019s a marathon and this type of connection matters for all those future sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-86665\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/instagram-marketing-example.png\" alt=\"etcetra instagram\" width=\"768\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/instagram-marketing-example.png 768w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/instagram-marketing-example-720x454.png 720w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/instagram-marketing-example-698x440.png 698w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/instagram-marketing-example-333x210.png 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Etcetera Embroidery: Meaningful and Accessible<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another struggling segment: artists. How can people justify paying for art when they have bills and may be out of work? Many artists are trying to figure out how to make their own living while being sensitive to others\u2019 financial struggles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caitlin Rethwish, the artist behind <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B95bHeDHTZk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Etcetera Embroidery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, decided to meet this challenge with a pay-what-you-can embroidery pattern that she released for her followers, which allowed them to pay between $4 and 10 dollars. She recognized that many people were interested in learning embroidery because they suddenly had an abundance of free time, but also were stressed about financials. <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I normally sell my patterns for $10 each, and implementing a pay-what-you-like pricing structure took my average order amount to $9. This also ended up being my third most-popular pattern of all time in terms of number of orders, and it\u2019s still getting regular sales\u201d Rethwish says. \u201cThat indicates to me that, while my average order is slightly lower, I most likely got more sales than I would have if I had released it at full price only. I also received messages from customers who said they had been wanting to learn embroidery but couldn\u2019t afford most patterns on the market &#8211; they appreciated a thorough pattern in their price range.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an artist, connecting with your fans is crucial, and a pay-what-you-can system is a creative way to make your art more accessible to others, but trust that enough of your audience will be willing to pay full price. Even if they don\u2019t, a goodwill gesture like that can be invaluable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-86664\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/guiness-youtube.png\" alt=\"guinness youtube\" width=\"770\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/guiness-youtube.png 770w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/guiness-youtube-720x406.png 720w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/guiness-youtube-760x428.png 760w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/guiness-youtube-360x203.png 360w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/guiness-youtube-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guinness: Clever and Encouraging<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guinness and St. Patrick\u2019s Day: is there a more iconic pairing? However, on an unusually parade-less holiday, Guinness had an opportunity to spread a message other than visit your local pub to drink and be merry. Instead, they used their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GWVW5p62sO8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ad spot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to create a clever and touching ad that encouraged viewers to consume responsibly from home, and remind them that there are better times ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re a large brand like Guinness you typically have a bit more financial leeway, and it can be well worth your time and marketing budget to create a clever PSA and genuine well wishes. Not only did the Saint Paddy\u2019s video garner well over 600K views&#8211;for reference, Guinness has a little over 13K subscribers on their channel&#8211;its engagement was overwhelmingly positive, with 2.6k likes, only 52 dislikes, and 208 comments. The top comment: \u201cThis has to be one of the most wholesome advertisements I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-86663\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/boden-straight-forward.png\" alt=\"boden forward message\" width=\"755\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/boden-straight-forward.png 755w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/boden-straight-forward-686x460.png 686w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/boden-straight-forward-657x440.png 657w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/boden-straight-forward-313x210.png 313w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boden: Endearingly Straight-Forward<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emails from companies can sometimes feel a bit too polished, formal, or disingenuous; buy this thing! Click here!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, Boden took the opportunity to write an email that felt like it was written straight from the heart of a real live person. It had a lot of honesty and just the right dash of endearing humor. They acknowledged how weird it felt to send out a marketing email with a new clothing line in the midst of a pandemic, but that the clothing was already made and the photos already taken. They also, very smartly, used the opportunity to stress that they were keeping their employees safe, which is a main concern for many consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, it can pay off to take a more low-key approach. Instead of heavy on the sales-y tone, acknowledging the elephant in the room (in a non-cliche way) and just saying that the products are there if the readers are interested, can at the very least endear your customers to you and make them feel less like they\u2019re being shouted at by hawkers through the screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-86662\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/oscar-mayer-twitter.png\" alt=\"oscar mayer hashtags\" width=\"746\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/oscar-mayer-twitter.png 746w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/oscar-mayer-twitter-611x460.png 611w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/oscar-mayer-twitter-584x440.png 584w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/oscar-mayer-twitter-279x210.png 279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 746px) 100vw, 746px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oscar Mayer: Hashtag Generosity<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a cookout without a crowd of friends and family surrounding us? Infamous hot dog company Oscar Meyer had to confront this very question &#8211; at a time when we\u2019d usually be out grilling hot dogs at parties, we\u2019re inside wondering if the 4th of July BBQ should finally be cancelled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They decided to promote a new vision: a socially-distant cookout. In and of itself, that\u2019s not groundbreaking, but they paired it with a meaningful <a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/giving-season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">giving season<\/a> action: they donated 1 million meals to the nonprofit Feeding America, plus challenged followers to use their hashtag <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/oscarmayer\/status\/1252597961713782784\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#FrontYardCookout<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and donate another meal every time it was used. They managed to combine a feel-good advertising campaign with a major signal-boost to an important non-profit in a way that didn\u2019t feel tacky or obnoxious. Oscar Meyer\u2019s video was viewed 4.3m times on Twitter, the post was retweeted 1.2K times, and food banks around the country benefited from this win-win social media ad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-86661\" src=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/coca-cola-twitter.png\" alt=\"coca cola social media\" width=\"769\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/coca-cola-twitter.png 769w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/coca-cola-twitter-720x317.png 720w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/coca-cola-twitter-760x335.png 760w, https:\/\/oroinc.com\/b2b-ecommerce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/coca-cola-twitter-360x159.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coca-Cola: Meaningful Social Media<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can brands donate besides (or in addition to) money?

But Coca-Cola actually donated their social media channels to nonprofit organizations like Feeding America and the Salvation Army, who can benefit from the incredible reach that Coca-Cola has. The intangible benefits of getting access to such a huge audience are almost unquantifiable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best part is, promotional messages from nonprofits who are directly helping during the crisis don\u2019t come off as exploitative or salesy, but instead necessary and important.
