Consumers’ commerce habits are changing quickly. Have you adapted?
New ways of shopping demand new ways of selling.
The COVID-19 pandemic has turned buying behaviour upside down and many of those changes are here to stay. Products and services that help protect, connect and entertain consumers – have seen a major leap in sales. The home is now the centre of activity and e-commerce is booming as is demand for contactless curbside pickup and delivery. It’s a safer, quicker alternative to protect employees and customers. It’s our new normal.
