Digital Transformation: The Trend That Is Here To Stay
Pushing us into digitalization, the pandemic has set what the “new normal” looks like. The traditional ways of business are not coming back anytime soon. It is official, the world is going digital!
This behemoth crisis has once again reminded us that the business environment is forever changing and we need to adapt to survive. Brands and retailers that adapt, move faster in a strategic fashion in the short and long term will be in a healthier place.
The Pandemic’s Accelerator Effect
Dominating in almost every shopping category, in-store retail stores were the customers’ go-to. The pre- Covid data shows that ecommerce sales accounted for only 16% of total retail sales.
The pre and post-Covid data are contrastingly different. Since the Covid-19 pandemic struck and shut down doors to all stores, ecommerce has overshadowed in-store sales by leaps and bounds. This shift displays a long-lasting implication of the pandemic on consumer behavior.
