In 2020, COVID-19 made connections with each other in real life hard and almost impossible. However, social media platforms have made that easier to connect online.

However, this Ramadan season people will want to come together, whether virtually or socially distanced, to share joy with loved ones. That means we will see the emergence of new discoveries and shopping behaviors.

A Demand For Safety Drives Mobile Shopping

We can see that COVID-19 has changed the way everyone lives, shops, and connects.

Obviously, mobile is seen as the safer alternative for those observing or even shopping during Ramadan. Whether it’s for reducing time in stores or just relying on new digital shopping methods, people always tend to shop where they feel safest.
