VIENNA, VA / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2024 / As the year progresses into its second half, the gifting industry shifts notably. Both large and small businesses are poised to make the upcoming holiday season fruitful by offering top gifting options that align with modern preferences. Notably, there has been a significant surge in digital gifting in recent years, with customers increasingly keen on participating, searching, and completing their gifting tasks online.
A market report by Portal highlights a significant shift in consumer behavior towards online shopping and personalized preferences in 2021, likely due to digital adaptiveness post-pandemic.
