The Future of Digital Grocery

Summary
The Directors' Dinner
The pressure on grocery in 2020 was unprecedented. Whilst the focus has largely been on logistics and fulfilment, the longterm outcome is one where millions of new consumers have shifted more spend to online Grocery services.
The challenge that Digital Grocery is left with, is how to maximise the opportunity presented by this massive influx of new consumers. Investments are urgently needed in personalisation, front-end experience, and tackling loyalty. Similarly, the brand owners selling through digital grocery channels need to find ways to differentiate, cross-sell and build direct consumer engagement.
- Creating innovative personalisation strategies within this larger landscape
- Adapting digital approaches to meet consumer needs - Stop thinking by category
- Getting a clearer understanding of each customer's shifting profile as behaviour partially returns to Pre-Covid shopping habits
- The eCommerce expansion within grocery - the growth as a result and demands?
