Purpose: The article aims to present the results of research on the activity of Polish micro-small and medium-sized enterprises in social media during the pandemic. The authors have hypothesized that social media has become an important tool in corporate strategy, facilitating reaching customers and supporting sales. Design/methodology/approach: The survey covered a group of 333 Polish enterprises from the MSME sector. Statistical methods were used to discover the specificity of using social media by companies according to selected grouping criteria. Findings: The presented research results allow for positive verification of the hypothesis that Social media become an important element of companies' strategies during pandemic periods. Research limitations/implications: The research was limited to Polish companies; thus, conclusions may not be relevant for other countries with different economic systems and digital transformation levels. Practical implications: The study explains selected aspects of using social media in the MSME sector. The results may be helpful for building a digital transformation strategy in Poland. The study also highlights some drawbacks of social media as a sales channel, which can be beneficial to improve companies' sales strategies. Originality/value: A novelty is the study of the perceived role of social media in Polish companies' strategies in light of the pandemic crisis. The research was conducted on a representative sample of 333 enterprises. The paper is addressed to researchers and entrepreneurs interested in the digital transformation of companies and the phenomenon of social media.(original abstract)
