cares for the health of the people. Extra precaution must be taken and quality
services must be provided in order to gain people’s trust. It cannot be
purchased, it needs to be build. 
On the other hand, if the company promotes sports products
then it must relate itself to the world of sports. People must think of the
company at the first glance of any sports. It requires the brands to share
stuff on the social media channels that caters to the need of every sports
enthusiast. It is a hectic and huge task and requires constant monitoring and
engagement.
