The 11 most important consumer trends for an excellent customer journey
Even though the pandemic has accelerated these 11 trends named by Josh Howarth, they are still on a growth trajectory. What connects and drives most of them is technology. Especially in the areas of fintech (digital wallets), social media (social shopping) and augmented reality (VR/AR shopping). Those who want to differentiate themselves from the competition with an excellent customer journey and increase their sales will find new potential in these trends.
