The week of March 8, last week – though it feels a lot longer ago to most of us, was a turbulent one<\/a> to say the least. It seemed as if the pandemic went from a regional emergency focused on China, Northern Italy, Seattle, and a few cruise ships to a national and global crisis overnight.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Consumers began to prepare even as mixed messages were hard to parse. But as businesses, events, and sports leagues began to close, suspend, and cancel, consumer buying patterns and sentiment began to change quickly.<\/p>\n

The markets reacted, creating a double shock to populations across North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, and beyond – making a public health crisis into a global economic crisis as well.<\/p>\n

Bloomreach powers ~20% of US eCommerce search and commerce experiences, and we have received a number of inquiries on what we are seeing across the 300+ global enterprise eCommerce businesses – many of whom have multiple brands and sites.<\/p>\n

We hope this gives you and your business a perspective on how our industry as a whole is fairing in these turbulent times.<\/p>\n
