Today’s Landscape

Research by McKinsey and Company conducted in May 2020 shows that decisions made now can have an impact at a later date. During this webinar, we’ll look to the future, and how you can use digital marketing and pay-per-click (PPC) to boost the success of your business.

The key themes emerging in the current landscape for consumers is:

1. 56% of consumers prefer to hop on-line and have minimum time in-store.
2. Three out of ten B2B and B2C consumers have bought different brands.
3. 72% of consumers are now shopping online and making different buying decisions.
4. 60% of US consumers are shopping the same of more than before, even in the current economic climate.

COVID has accelerated the shift to digital for B2B decision makers. Habits formed today will become the norm in the future, and decisions made during COVID will need to be sustained into the future.

Solutions

There are two core strategies that businesses can follow:

• The store-centric approach. This provides consumers with the information they need and is ideal for dentistry, law firms. and retailers, etc, that require that hands-on experience.
