People’s priority has changed.
Safety is now their priority. People want to minimize their exposure to public and try to fulfill their needs at a minimum contact. This requires businesses to come up with creative ways to provide services for their customers.
User age group has changed.
We can see bigger age groups are adopting to digital technologies in their daily lives. Many retail businesses are already seeing an increase in usage by older age groups since the coronavirus pandemic began.
Your users are forced into digital space.
Some in-person services are not available as they used to be. As a result, people are forced to get out of their comfort zones and do things differently. For example, more people started to use their bank’s mobile applications. Research says 6 million users downloaded their mobile banking apps, for the first time, between March 14 to April 14.
