A fast changing retail landscape

The retail industry is changing and came under unprecedented pressure from the pandemic. Good communications is more important than ever, as is nurturing brand trust.

Online shopping has grown exponentially, yet could be hit by taxes to breathe life back into bricks and mortar.

For online retailers this means clicks – and links – will become ever more crucial. Our digital PR specialists can help develop a strategy that integrates with SEO and embraces the importance of compelling content. All to ensure you’re reaching the right audience to drive sales.

At Tonic, we’ve supported our retail PR clients via:

  • Securing customer case study interest in national media
  • Business profiles to highlight success
