Brands are adapting by taking an omnichannel approach to their consumer engagement, offering personalized assistive functions that help make shopping, either online through e-commerce or in-store brick and mortar, much more seamless. Where friction creates a barrier to purchase, brands that enhanced the shopper experience through impactful micro-moments will win out with the increasingly digital modern consumer.
