Brands that have historically distributed through wholesale channels continue to embrace the pandemic-led trend of placing a significant focus on digital commerce. Digital commerce is defined as three key areas: sales on e-commerce marketplaces, wholesale dot-com sites, and direct-to-consumer businesses.
