The Permanent E-Commerce Boom and the Evolution of Omnichannel Strategy

  • Breakout Session
The e-commerce boom of 2020 occurred far earlier than initial projections; however, even before the pandemic, the high demand and growth was projected to occur at some point. E-commerce is here – and it’s here to stay, but it’s not enough to simply offer an e-commerce store. To truly remain profitable and ahead of (or in some cases on track with) the industry, you’ll need to implement an omnichannel strategy. In fact, it’s how many shippers survived the pandemic. This session will detail the importance of omnichannel strategy, as well as best practices to keep in mind during implementation.
