Landscape of a Post Pandemic Decorating Community
Part 2: What does the world look like when the sun rises on a pandemic free day?
The bottom line, I think some of the changes that were forced upon companies and individuals during Covid-19 may become the new way we do business.
Face-to-face may become a less common way to do business
Maybe working from home does work after all
Scavenging – shops that are closing may create a glut of used equipment in the channel as well as leaving unserved or underserved customers in their regions after things start to return to normal; how will this affect the landscape and the opportunities for decorators who stick it out or start in the wake of this crisis?
