What does this mean?
As brands reported a surge in online sales due to Covid-19 forcing many stores to close, the LVMH umbrella has been no exception. However, when it comes to getting customers back into stores, providing a comfortable, safe and “special” experience will be key. This is something luxury brands can take advantage of – and LVMH is already embracing omnichannel by offeirng a mix of online and offline experiences while store openings fluctuate.
