Insight

The consumer insight behind the Celebrity Curation trend

Consumers are doing their best to help flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic by staying at home and maintaining social distancing. For many, shopping online is the better or the only option—whether it's for essentials or something necessary for a daily routine. Individuals often find it difficult to gauge a product virtually, void of the in-store shopping experience support, and as a result, are turning to the advice of people whose opinion they trust.
