The E-Commerce Drop Webinar: What is happening, what it means and how to cope

Check out this interactive webinar from July 20, 2022 during which Managing Director at DEPT® Nils Zündorf and Head of Marketplaces at DEPT® Kevin Veenman answered your questions live. These experts explain the current downward trend in e-commerce and why it may not actually be what it seems.

• E-commerce has grown 2-5x during the pandemic. However, the growth came to a halt in Q1 2022 and began to fall off in Q2
• The biggest concerns for consumers right now are the rapidly rising prices and inflation and the vast majority have already changed their behavior towards money saving
• Marketplaces seem to be more resilient and actually are still trending up or sideways in most categories. The flywheel effect that helps stand out: stock, price, selection, life-time-value
• Audience questions including: should we diversify our target markets to expand our customer base? Navigating decreasing Amazon prices as a retailer? Media driving panic and influencing our choices? …and more, answered live by our hosts.
