Businesses are most susceptible to the effects of Covid-19. The implementation of social distancing makes people limit activities outside their home, consequently sales turnover decreases. Therefore, SMEs need to change the mindset in running business by using technology transformation. The usage of digital marketing has proven to be more practical than traditional marketing at many times.

This study aimed to study how companies or businesses handle this crisis and how they are utilizing digital marketing to their benefit. The usage of three main types of digital marketing was investigated on the performance of companies or businesses in Malaysia during this pandemic.
