Customer Understanding
Lockdowns with little advance notice, panic buying, supply chain disruptions, hastily made changes to health and safety regulations, and extreme swings in consumer needs and expectations. Such are the challenges that retailers faced during the pandemic.
Almost a third of consumers report better online shopping and delivery experiences during the pandemic and more than 20 per cent report that in-store experiences improved. Consumer-facing businesses have built valuable goodwill among their customers.
Many consumers took a cautious approach to their finances amid the pandemic. Some 42% reduced their overall level of spending and 40 per cent redirected money normally spent on experiences like travelling, towards savings and investments.
The majority of those who spent more time than previously on cooking rather than dining out, being with partners/children, reading, and leading healthier lifestyles, indicate these habits will stick. This illustrates a change in value set for a proportion of the population that is not only influencing preferences but is an opportunity for businesses to better align with what customers really care about.
There has been a huge increase in consumersâ preference for online as their preferred channel. Nevertheless, in-store overwhelmingly remains the channel of choice. Effective omni-channel strategies are more important than ever before. Additionally convenience and quality have become more important to shoppers

State of retail post COVID-19
Our CEO, Pranav Ahuja had an amazing conversation with Dharmender Khanna, Head of Digital Transformation, SSIPL Retail LTD.
Here are some key highlights of their conversation:
How are retailers approaching e-commerce during COVID-19?
Post-COVID, customers became more digitally aware & were very quick to adapt to the digital channels. We expanded our online presence aggressively & were able to generate 2x sales through online channels vs offline during the month of May 2021.
What led to Lotto winning âBest Digital Customer Experience Awards of the year in retail?â
We conducted a survey with our customers where 84% of them said they are fed up with the spam SMSs & email & we didnât want to become another such brand. This is why we turned to Xenoâs CRM which enabled us to reach out to our customers in the way they want.
Why choose Xeno?
The people at Xeno were always talking about how we win together & the kind of commitment Xeno provides always made us more confident about achieving our revenue goals.
