A white paper from private-brand consultant Daymon lists five ways private brands and retailers can prepare to address the fundamental shifts in consumer shopping and spending behaviors that have resulted from COVID-19. While Daymon gathered survey information for the white paper early in the pandemic, in April 200, these trends have continued throughout the crisis.

According to Daymon, those shifts that have occurred due to the COVID-19 that will affect future buying habits are social distancing, altered brand and shopping behavior, and reduced spending. Since March, social distancing has made the home the center of eating and entertaining, with 60% of consumers reporting that they planned to eat at home more and only 25% reporting that they expected to eat out as frequently as they had before.

Regarding altered behavior, Daymon notes that vast out-of-stocks have forced shoppers to change brands and preferred stores. When surveyed, 70% of shoppers reported purchasing new a new or different brand than they had pre-COVID, with nearly 30% reporting a positive experience after switching brands and intending to maintain these purchasing shifts post-pandemic. Online shopping has also increased, with 49% of consumers reporting in April they would shop online versus 42% before the crisis.
