Cumulative Click & Mortar online sales grew 83% in first 31 weeks, while pure online players’ sales grew just 37%. Our new omni-channel reality demands that we equip teams to deliver much faster responsiveness, to defend and gain market share"

Key take-outs:

  • Consumer behavior has been forced to change – and that prompts people to rethink old habits and embrace new realities for shopping
  • New opportunities for those willing to serve those needs.
  • TCG consumers historically chose in-store to touch and try before they buy, - but a large proportion of shoppers expect to continue working from home, will avoid shopping malls, and plan to increase their use of home delivery
  • Shoppers and retailers both confirm that the online element of omni-channel shopping is only going to get stronger.
  • Manufacturers and retailers must
    • invest in their digital marketing
    • develop omni-channel experiences around Conversational, Educative, Trusting
    • find digital ways to compensate for the loss of physical showroom options for TCG consumers, to ensure they help consumers make a purchase decision
