2020 exposed the cracks in many retailers businesses and left the industry divided into camps of winners and losers.
While big-box and grocery stores have thrived, apparel and department stores have suffered.
But, retail experts say there are opportunities for struggling stores to turn things around with improved customer service and omnichannel capabilities.
2020, more so than years before it, created a major gap between the winners and losers of the retail sector.
On one side lie the grocery and big-box stores that were deemed essential retail and permitted to stay open during the lockdowns of the spring and summer.
And once those deadlines were close or had already passed, retailers changed tactics. Shoppers started to see notices on retailers websites pushing shoppers to either use curbside pickup or buy-online-pickup-in-store, or BOPIS, as it s known in the retail industry.
Tim Rogers, senior vice president and global general manager at adtech company Criteo, told Business Insider that retailers highlighting all the shopping options available will build customer loyalty with these last-minute shoppers who have missed the deadlines for online orders.
He pointed to the enormous increase in e-commerce activity this year as a factor that threatens to choke the supply chain. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the rise of e-commerce, with eMarketer analysts estimating that US online sales will reach $794.5 billion in 2020, a year-over-year increase of 32.4%.
