This is how to prepare for the next phase of COVID-19.
In many ways consumer behaviors and retail trends are ever-changing. Still, patterns are emerging and even mirroring across various markets.
Phase five introduces a host of challenges for retailers. Retailers need to pay closer attention to their online presence — from web site storefronts to content partnerships, to social media. Times like these make it more important for all brands to constantly evaluate and update their messaging.Bolstering online shopping alone is not enough. We’re seeing in COVID-19 hotspots like New York City and San Francisco that leaning on delivery is still not the safest option.
Cost-conscious shoppers are trimming unnecessary spending and focusing their limited budgets on grocery, health-care products like vitamins and office supplies. These consumers are focused on getting the most for their money and respond positively to deals on the items they need and use daily. This presents retailers with an opportunity to provide value to consumers through discounts and cash-back offers to establish longer-term shopper loyalty.L.C.
1. Protect: First and foremost, protect your people. Retailers that put their employees at risk — or put the safety of their delivery partners at risk — lose internal confidence and are in danger of losing the trust and dollars of the general public.
