Today’s InternetRetailing newsletter reports on how retailers and brands are finding new ways to get close to shoppers – from marketplaces to social media – at a time when those relationships will be ever more important. There’s evidence in today’s retail sales figures – from IMRG, the BRC and Barclaycard – that shoppers are now spending more online and across sales channels as a result of inflation. As the growth seen over the pandemic now looks to have stalled, shoppers seem to be focused on saving cash rather than spending it in the light of the cost of living crisis. Brands must now work harder in order to get close to shoppers and are finding new ways to do so.
