The rapid emergence of D2C strategies is reshaping the consumer goods industry. We can help you define where, when and how D2C can transform your business and implement better ways of using D2C to meet the changing needs of consumers.
What EY can do for you
Changing consumer expectations, new competitors and emerging technologies are rapidly disrupting the consumer goods industry. While there are now countless ways for brands to form direct relationships with shoppers, it’s hard to make these direct-to-consumer (D2C) strategies work. They can easily become an unfocused, unprofitable or unscalable drain on resources. Some questions that consumer products companies need to consider:
- What role do you want D2C to play in the future of your organization?
- How do you balance D2C imperatives against the needs of the rest of your business?
- What new operating models do you need to support a pivot to D2C?
- What technologies, alliances and capabilities do you need to make a D2C strategy work?
- How do you stay ahead of a consumer that is changing exponentially?
