China may be returning to a state of ‘normality’ following COVID-19, but after spending months in lockdown, certain crisis-time consumer habits seem to be sticking around – one of the most visible being a mass shift to e-commerce. So, how do people want to browse and buy online post-pandemic?

As brand interactions become more seamless, Amazon’s Fashion TV series Making the Cut marks a development in the world of online shopping. Swapping out on-site ordering for on-screen entertainment and competition, it hints at a future blend of reality TV and e-commerce.

During the pandemic, many shoppers have been looking to cut costs. But it isn’t just low prices that are winning new customers at dollar stores. With a multitude of locations, they’re tapping into easy convenience and winning with their in-store experience.

COVID-19 has made in-store shopping a challenge for everyone, but especially those who face hurdles when navigating stores. Neatebox’s free app creates an inclusive and stress-free experience whereby users book assistance in advance and receive personalised in-store service.
