Before the Coronavirus pandemic, research showed that B2B companies in the Kingdom had allocated more than 40% of their resources into shows, seminars, and world-class training and meetings. However, with Coronavirus Spreading faster worldwide and in Saudi Arabia, all B2B companies have been forced to keep their projects on hold since a curfew has been enforced across regions. However, if these funds are reallocated through a different medium which is Digital Marketing, this would have a positive impact on the investment. Research shows that 7 to 8% of the B2B funds are enough to grant a positive dividend if they are used in the channels of digital marketing.
Digital Marketing will be taking a massive leap during this pandemic and will be the main strategy used for all local and international businesses. Businesses who will be building their strategies based on the digital communication channels will be able to get ahead of their competitors and will see more positive returns while facing COVID-19.
