Price more important than service
Consumers consider the composition of the range and service levels in retail chains less important this year than previous years. This year he looks more closely at the price of products. At webshops there is a slight decrease in the importance of price levels and attractive offers. At the same time, there is a little more attention to aspects such as service and delivery. At webshops, the range and value for money remain the most important.
