We worked with our friends at Adweek to create an article that explains how retailers can meet, and even exceed their challenging YoY growth comparisons in 2021. The article dives into:

  • The importance of revamping digital channels and digital-purchasing processes

Read on for a teaser and then head to the Adweek website to read the full article:
