The modern marketplace is changing fast. Global ecommerce has grown by double digits every year since 2012. In 2020, e-commerce accounted for $2.6 billion in retail sales in the United States alone. Between 2019 and 2024 e-commerce is expected to grow 53 percent in the U.S. and Europe, 80 percent in China, and 86 percent worldwide, according to Statista.
Customers expect multi-channel shopping experiences where they can make purchases across devices, whether it’s online via a mobile app, over the phone, in store, or on social media. While retailers have rushed to have the technology and logistics in place to facilitate customer expectations, consistent branding has suffered. The digital marketplace is a cluttered, cut-throat environment with ever-growing competition worldwide.
More businesses are delivering products across channels, but few are delivering consistent or exceptional marketing messages that maximize impact both digitally and physically through packaging and in-store product displays. Retailers that do not invest in consistent branding suffer. Aligning digital marketing and physical branding is key. Consider these stats.
