Happy Monday, y’all! I hope you had a great weekend and are ready to close out 2020 with a bang! Here’s a few marketing and business stories I found that I think you will like:
One of the themes I’ve been focusing on is how buyer behavior has changed in 2020, how your business can adjust, and what opportunities are created by the changes. Bazaarvoice, a former client, has found that 42% of US shoppers, and 43% of European shoppers will be changing how they buy food and beverages. That means more online sales, and retailers are adjusting their ecommerce offerings to meet the increased demand. Now, this creates two scenarios that I want you to think about: If your company sells food and beverages, how can you make the purchase and delivery process more frictionless for customers? Remember that shoppers will pay for convenience. And secondly, if more shoppers will be buying food and beverages from home, that means they won’t be spending that time leaving their house to shop for food. What will they be spending that extra time on, and is there an opportunity for your company to take advantage of that additional time that shoppers will have? Could they spend that extra time with your products and services? Something to think about!
According to our survey, 42% of US shoppers and 43% of Europeans said the pandemic has changed their food and beverage purchasing habits — and brand are responding. Realizing the pandemic is a long-haul event, they're beefing up their e-commerce offerings.https://t.co/6uWeJqNhMi
