    1. Empathy and understanding

    Vital components of authenticity, empathy, and understanding are key consideration tools for brands and their customer interactions.

    5. Shopping experiences

    About a third (30%) of US consumers say they buy almost everything online. And our study reveals how brands can improve online shopping experiences in the eyes of their customers.

    Yet online isn’t the full story. How can you cater for those who say they “live for the experience” of shopping in person? And how can you connect online and offline experiences to create authentic connections and drive loyalty.
