”There have been a variety of coronavirus-related social media posts by fashion brands that have connected with the public including efforts to make medical overalls, manufacture hand sanitizer, or even just donating money. Posts by fashion brands about making or donating face masks have especially captured the audience’s attention; averaging 73.1 percent more responses than coronavirus-related posts by fashion brands on other topics,” said Tracy David, chief marketing officer at ListenFirst.
“There’s a global shortage of adequate face masks right now, and given the fashion industry’s unique knowledge around manufacturing clothing and related supply chain issues, the social media audience is especially receptive to learning how these brands can help. This is a challenging time financially for luxury fashion, but even within that context these brands are rising to the challenge and committed to their efforts to help fight the pandemic,” David added.
