Online Business Marketing Tools gain Importance after COVID-19

Online Business Marketing Tools gain Importance after COVID-19
In this edition of the Business Conditions survey, we asked our panel of experts to evaluate the importance of different business-to-business marketing tools for footwear businesses compared to the pre-pandemic period

The respondents of the latest edition of the World Footwear Business Conditions Survey considered that 7 of the 9 listed marketing tools have gained importance, except for paper mailing and advertising in print media. However, the magnitude of these gains varies significantly among the tools. 

Online advertising and having an own website showed the highest balances of extreme answers: 50.8 p.p. and 50 p.p., respectively. This perspective is shared by respondents across all lines of business and continents.

Physical fairs were also considered more important now than before the pandemic, except for North American respondents, and even more important than online fairs.
