This year’s survey will beginwhere last year’s left off.We expect to hear more brilliant solutions to dealing with COVID-19 restrictions, keeping employees safe, customers happy, and operations running smoothly.
We also expect to hear more about how customers obtain products from your store: pick up curbside, receive via an order/delivery app, or UPS and USPS. Will online catalogs and third-party fulfillment be more, or less, popular? Here’s a sampling of what we hope retailers will tell us:
