During the pandemic, “everything was being done online,” Halo’s CFO, Ned Mavrommatis, told CFO Brew. “But as the company continued to grow, we believed that we could get a lot more growth by getting into other channels as well, whether it’s online marketplaces or in stores.”
Many other DTC companies feel the same way. “Digitally native brands and even e-commerce brands, have seen a little bit of a slower trend” as the pandemic slowed, David Schneidman, senior director at Alvarez & Marsal Consumer Retail Group, told Retail Brew in March. “So finding a quality omnichannel approach to consumers is essential for sustainability.”
