It looks like the retail industry will continue to change in 2021. Experts are predicting some of the new services people were using in 2020 will be here to stay moving forward. Americans are going to use delivery services because it’s a convenient way to shop for their weekly groceries.
Consequently, brick and mortar retail stores will see their sales continue to drop as people shop online more often. But, that might spur those retailers into action leading to redesigned businesses that better serve their customers.
What this really means is customers will have a better experience when they shop online and in person. That’s one positive change the pandemic has brought with it.
