In the aftermath of Brexit and the pandemic, domestic tourism is on the rise in the UK. We put greater consideration into our health and wellbeing, with high profile campaigns encouraging us outside. Social media campaigns such as #GetOutside and the “It’s Great Out There” Coalition have inspired us to spend quality time outdoors. Increasing participation in outdoor recreational activities drives the continued growth in this market. Camping is becoming more popular with innovations in sustainability and function driving competition. More than ever we value the environment and the time we spend outside with our family and friends.
The rise of digital technology over the last two decades has driven the urge to get outside for younger generations. The difference with this demographic is the digital expectations and consumer trends. Convenience, price comparison and social media have a huge impact on sale decisions. Keeping costs down with rapid delivery available is vital for the success of businesses in outdoors eCommerce. Outsourcing camping and outdoors fulfilment to experienced third-party logistics providers is key. Businesses can create seamless online shopping experiences for adult generations.
Developing an online presence with a greater focus on brand awareness and identity is crucial to captivating young consumers. Together with transparency and sustainability especially, how will you tell a story and build up brand loyalty? Digital marketing, sustainable products, and personalised packaging can provide an excellent customer service and experience.
