Phygital: A Way for FMCG Brands to Step Closer to the Consumer

We are living in a world where everything these days needs to be online because that is exactly what we have become. With one click of a button we want everything to be delivered to our homes right from groceries to clothes to simple things like medicines. The current pandemic is a perfect opportunity for businesses to step into a new horizon – that of going digital. There is a growing demand of being digitally available for your consumers. The consumer consumption pattern has seen a drastic shift due to the pandemic; there are products that have skyrocketing demand such as healthy and immunity-boosting foods. Despite everything coming to normal there is still a lot left for the retail and FMCG to achieve in order to come back to the pre-COVID sales.

The previous few months have taught businesses to work in a crisis situation, it has made retailers realise that to reach consumers they need to have a hybrid business model – with both physical and digital presence. The pandemic changed the thinking of brands and also led to them re-shaping their marketing strategies. There was no book that the brands could refer to in order to run their business smoothly because nowhere in those books was there a mention of a pandemic. Brands that had a digital presence performed comparatively well as compared to the others.
