How have consumers responded since COVID-19

An exploration into how the UK Retail market has changed since the global pandemic, how have shoppers responded, and how does this compare to how and what consumers were shopping before COVID-19 struck the UK and how have we compared to other countries. What could be the new normal when the UK emerges from the pandemic, and how far away are we from ‘normal’?

How Can Data Save the High Street in the face of Covid-19?

Covid-19 has impacted every sector, with the UK high street being hit particularly hard. Even before Covid-19 forced the UK into lockdown, the high street was already struggling against changing buying habits and intense competition from online retailers, and this new blow could have long-lasting effects. If these businesses want not only to survive, but to thrive in the face of Covid-19, they must take the digital challenge head on and innovate rapidly. Vihan will discuss how data partnerships are the key to this innovation, helping businesses to reconnect with their customer base, generate valuable insights and compete against online retail giants to ensure they can survive both online and in brick-and-mortar stores.
