Grocery Gains Could Evaporate Without Consumer Loyalty
The Food Institute says Grocers’ COVID-19 gains with consumers could evaporate quickly in the year ahead, unless grocers refresh their approach to customer loyalty, according to a Bain & Co. report, reported CNBC (Nov. 9).
The firm said that the U.S. grocery sector revenue has risen by as much as 10% year over year in 2020, but that rate may shrink by single-digit percentages if a COVID-19 vaccine is widely available and diners return to restaurants in early 2021. Grocery profits overall will increase from just over $34 billion to $39 billion from 2019 to 2030 unless grocers take action, noted the Bain report.
Boutique Retail Outlook 2021: Majority of Female Shoppers Prefer Local Amid COVID-19
Apricot Lane Boutique, a women's fashion boutique retail franchise, has released the results of its nationwide “Boutique Retail Outlook” survey, which assessed sentiments among female consumers to uncover insights into 2021 shopper behavior. In light of the significant impacts on traditional retail shopping stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the survey findings indicate respondents feel confident about in-person shopping and will show increased loyalty and preference to locally owned boutiques in the new year.
“The results of our survey represent a turning point among retail consumer sentiment regarding shopping in person and locally, as 66% of respondents feel joyful, hopeful and normal again when they go shopping at a local boutique,” says Patrick Stewart, CEO of Apricot Lane Boutique. “Amid the uncertainties in today’s retail environment, these shoppers demand a unique and personalized experience with their retailer, and also care deeply about investing in their local communities. Our research ultimately points to the importance of relationships and further proves that emotional connections drive a shopper’s decision to support and remain loyal to local retail boutiques when shopping for apparel, especially when times are tough.”
