Discover how the pandemic changed online behaviors across Europe so that you can identify where to reach your target group and create campaigns that drive results. 

Use the right touchpoints and channels to activate the people you want to reach

Digital usage has significantly changed since the first lockdown in March 2020. Since then, there has been some stabilization of online habits, but behavior is still significantly different than it was before COVID-19.

The importance of understanding changes in your target group's online habits

Online habits have fluctuated drastically during the pandemic. Understanding the habits of your target group has a major impact on the success of your marketing and channel strategy. Consider: 

  • Where people buy: E-commerce traffic was up as much as 50% from pre-COVID-19  levels. Do you know where your target group is shopping so that you can place your products and messaging on the most effective channels?
  • How they now communicate: Particularly during lockdowns, usage of communication platforms is up substantially. Do you know which apps your target group uses to communicate?
  • The topics that interest them the most: News and entertainment sites and apps were at a high during lockdowns, while sports dipped and have yet to fully recover. Do you know what piques the interests of your target group so that you can adjust your communication strategy accordingly?
