BIMA Hangouts | Changing Consumer Behaviour

What?

Join us to discuss and explore how COVID has changed consumer behaviour in the past 6 months. It is changing the way we live, work and play. Some of the habits we had will never come back and some, new ones, are here to stay.

Why?

It is important to understand what will be the new normal and what it means for you. Is the high street dead? Are the new drive in cinemas replacing old cinema experience? How people’s mindset has changed since the lockdown when it comes to – going out, buying new property or insurance? Join us to answer these questions and more.

Is this for you?

For anyone who is interested how coronavirus is changing consumer behaviour and what the future looks like.
