What Today’s Consumer Wants from Small Businesses

 

How does your small business score with customers? We surveyed 396 shoppers on their preferences and attitudes to uncover areas where small businesses can pivot to help establish themselves as the outlet of choice.

Our latest report details five key insights from our survey — and highlights how small businesses can use this information to differentiate themselves from the competition. Highlights include:

  • Reaching your targeted customer
  • The importance of causes and beliefs
  • How to optimize checkout
