As consumers around the globe turn to e-commerce in lieu of being able to go in-store, our data show that US brands that are able to move quickly to deliver a localised e-commerce experience are seeing 300–400 per cent growth in sales. The data also show that a market that was hot one month may be outshone the following month, as the regional effects of the pandemic influence consumer behaviours. Now more than ever, US retail brands must shift on a dime, be ready to enter new markets where demand is bubbling up and quickly establish relationships with new customers in each market to create long term advantage.”
