Post-Pandemic Consumer Trends: Key Insights for Smarter Planning

Hi Maria,

I wanted to share our latest report, Post-Pandemic Consumer Trends, which highlights six key shifts in consumer behavior five years after COVID. The findings offer valuable direction for marketing leaders shaping customer engagement strategies.

A few insights that may resonate with your work:

Value perception drives loyalty: Value-oriented retail categories have grown traffic by ~30% since 2019, —showing how brand positioning around value can build long-term retention.

Cross-shopping is the new norm: Shoppers increasingly visit multiple chains to find the “perfect match,” making differentiation and clear messaging more critical than ever.

Bifurcated spending patterns: Growth is strongest at both the value and premium ends, while mid-market players face pressure—requiring sharper segmentation and campaign targeting.

For marketing teams, these shifts highlight the importance of aligning campaigns with consumer priorities around value, brand experience, and selective spending.
