The pandemic has created a socially distanced reality. Consumers have settled into working from home, learning from home, and even socializing from the safety of their home. And that’s not going to change anytime soon, as 86 percent of consumers intend to maintain social distancing measures such as contactless shopping even after the pandemic is over.
No wonder companies are stressed about losing touch with their customers.
Basically, an entire five years’ worth of change has unfolded in fast-forward since the pandemic landed last spring. Most notably, the shift into digital channels – especially mobile devices – has accelerated beyond expectations.
Global smartphone use has climbed by more than 70 percent since the start of the COVID-19 situation. Mostly because phones help facilitate new solutions such as contactless payments, curbside pick-up, and real-time notifications on delivery status. Practically overnight, these features have become the status quo for consumers who depend on smartphones to serve as their compass, command center, and safety blanket during trips into the outside world.
