Takeout and opportunities
• Italians are still vigilant during the reopening phase: quarantine has stabilised a
new «normality» that we are still afraid of
• Store and supermarket managers are expected to ensure safety and hygiene
• Devices can help to plan and optimise grocery shopping also in terms of budget
(for 1 out of 2 will decrease)
• AdCity and Grandi Stazioni analysis show Italian reaction during “Phase 2”:
people in cities increased and also movements in major stations
