The BeCommerce Market Monitor presents you the latest facts and figures of the Belgian consumer market across twenty established market segments. To discuss the latest data and trends in more detail, BeCommerce hosts an online webinar.
How much does the consumer spend online? Which sectors are responsible for the increase in online spending? What are the preferred payment methods and devices of the Belgian? How is consumer behavior evolving? Freyia Han, Research Executive of Marketing Effectiveness at GfK, gives you detailed answers and interesting figures.
Since sustainability is the "common thread" throughout this online event, we also invite VIL employee Geert Verbelen to unveil the "Green Last Mile" project. Adyen and bpost will also present a case study on how they deal with environmental sustainability.
