Covering Commerce: A Webcast for Retailers (Ep 1)

We discuss:

  • What is the next phase of retail?
  • What do brands that have fared well during the pandemic have in common?
  • What can brands do to prepare for a major disruption?

Quote-Worthy Insights:

“We will not go back to the way things looked before.”

“Buying patterns are going to be fundamentally changed.”

“[Retail brands are] re-imagining how the traditional brick and mortar can be put to use to engage with a customer.”

“It’s about being nimble and flexible, and understanding what your customer—or your new customer— wants. So many customers that have traditionally been B2B and are now going to B2C …and how do they do that?”

“Everyday has been Black Friday for the last 2 months.”

“Some brands have been perfectly positioned for this lockdown.”

“We have a client that just launched in-store fulfillment and it’s going to be a game-changing retail model”

“Retailers are always trying to catch up to consumer behavior that has changed. Working with our clients on a roadmap and helping them identify what the next chapter will look like—what the new expectation will look like. I think it’s really important to be doing roadmapping ahead of time versus postmortems after the fact.”
