The Home & Garden domain has been growing steadily for some time and, in many ways, it has emerged from the pandemic in an even stronger position than before. People are now spending more time than ever at home and are seeking comfort and convenience, as well as creating multi-functional spaces accommodating both family life and work. According to Statista, there has been a 20% growth in the H&G market in the last two years and it is estimated to be worth USD 1.6 B globally by 2025.

We may still be a long way away from anything like the Replicants in Blade Runner, but artificial intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning in particular are already transforming how we approach everything from cancer screenings to displaying ads. ChatGPT and Google’s Bard have made headlines for their eerily accurate imitations of humans. The ability for ChatGPT, and AIs like it, to answer questions and even create functional (if buggy) code has created a media furor that has driven significant investment in AI-focused companies, despite shaky markets.

However, if you dig a little deeper you’ll begin to see that while ChatGPT is really cool, it is just one part of a much bigger picture. Let’s dive in and find out why.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a real revolution in the fashion industry. It significantly changed the shopping habits of customers and, consequently, forced the industry to redefine the existing distribution and marketing strategies in order to effectively fight for lost customers and acquire new ones. What fashion trends should be kept in mind while creating a plan for brand presence on the Internet? How does one fight for customer loyalty and build brand image?

Highly stylized displays, prestigious high street locations, exclusive experiences, up close and personal sales assistance… the „established norms” of the luxury goods industry simply don’t fit into a post-pandemic world. And yet, after a challenging time in early 2020, many luxury brands are now embracing ecommerce as the first touchpoint for customers in their digital marketing strategies. They are finding ways to effectively communicate brand value in the digital space in the same way as they do in the offline world and are starting to replicate the personalized, curated experiences that buyers expect.

The online Home & Garden market is thriving, and we don’t need to look far to know why. Three main factors are combining to bring unprecedented growth:

1. the pandemic’s amplification of our connection to home;
2. the proliferation of remote workspaces;
3. the accelerating shift from brick and mortar to e-commerce.
