The 2020 holiday shopping season was one for the record books. To increase traffic and sales, retail marketers pivoted their capabilities to deploy alternative experiences like contactless checkout and buy online and pick up in-store—options that increased by 32% during Cyber Week.

Meeting the needs of buyers was not possible without connected data, hyper-personalization, and triggered communications to customers, employees, and suppliers.

They shared how marketers quickly adapted for a memorable holiday season that will fast track digital transformation in 2021 and beyond.
