Driving Success in 2021

As we quickly approach the summer season, our retail and consumer goods clients are increasingly becoming more optimistic about their prospects for a successful 2021. With many parts of the country progressing in getting the COVID pandemic under control and as personal freedoms return, we are joyfully witnessing the return of businesses, as well as growth in our local and nationwide economies. Here’s a glimpse of ways we’ve seen many companies get through the worst of last year and how they are driving to success in 2021.

Remarkable Resiliency

Throughout the tumultuous nature of the past year, resilience again proves to be a key characteristic that helps us navigate tough times and makes us stronger. Of particular note, when most fashion retailers and soft goods brands were temporarily shuttered at the onset of the pandemic, their collective outlook was indeed quite gloomy as retail shifted to almost all “essential.” During that timeframe, uncertainty abounded. But even more so, the resilient nature of the fashion and soft goods segments was distinctly remarkable. We are grateful to see a decided uptick in our clients’ business performance, and along with this, the restart of strategic initiatives that were paused last spring.
