Insights Dashboards: Get a sense of the effects of COVID-19

We're just over two months into this new "norm", and with each new week, we're seeing new market and consumer shifts. To better navigate those inevitable changes, we've created dashboards specific to helping you understand the COVID-19 pandemic.

The two dashboards will be located in our Insights Premium platform and will provide you with a robust view of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both dashboards focus on current market trends to allow our customers to understand how the market is growing, shrinking, and changing as the world around us is altered by social distancing. We made this dashboard because of the interest in our blog updates and we wanted our subscribers to be able to dig deeper and do the analysis that matters most to them and their businesses.

Why should you use the dashboard?
