When we talk about the retail market, we mean all the Brands, Shopping Centres and even food & beverage business.Since the lockdown commencement, the retailers have seen the scarcity of people and the lower end of sales. Since most of these sectors concern the real-time experience of the customers, consuming their services, COVID has hit them with a fatal blow. However, work doesn’t stop and nor does the human tendency of seeking entertainment and new experiences.

Online Experience by Retailers

Adapting to the pandemic, most of the retailers decided to cater to customers’ needs digitally. Commencement of online shopping websites for their brands, alluring offers and optimisation of time put the retailers again back on track. Taking an example of the apparel industry, huge discounts on brands, faster delivery time and accurate measures to choose the best fit for seekers, added to their sale and improved their customers experience. Similarly for the Food Industry, the online food delivery saw a huge boom. More and more Hotels and restaurants started being the food partners of these food delivery platforms thus collaborating for a mutual benefit.
