Companies, during COVID-19, strived to bridge the gap between in-store and digital experiences.
COVID-19 altered consumers’ shopping habits, disrupted supply-chains, encouraged creative messaging, and the use of digital and social platforms. To bolster consumer experiences (CX) meet expectations and boost revenue amid COVID-19, businesses integrated physical and digital touchpoints across the consumer journey and sought to build long-term consumer relationships.
The pandemic resulted in brands innovating new engagement strategies to connect with a wider cohort of consumers, that are not just Gen Z. Businesses implemented new technologies to assist digital transactions, as 80% of consumers shopped online during COVID-19.
