At the start of the Covid period, we determined that we would need something of a lighter touch to contrast that societal darkness. And so we set out to wholly revamp the Affino.com website - to make it clearer, more streamlined, fresher, and more friendly - while rolling out various new technologies and functionalities. We greatly expanded the colour palette and introduced a number of more vibrant tones to meet that purpose.

We are all familiar with the concept of Dark Kitchens - where restaurants as such move to windowless industrial estate premises to purely serve home-delivery orders. A number of those kitchens are a little like an office-share - where several companies operate out of the same premises and share some of the costs and resultant economies of scale.

 

The Dark Shop phenomenon is slightly different and is typified by High Street and Shopping Mall Stores like Lush - who have significant city ...

There has been a lot of speculation in the media of late about the cultural impact of Coronavirus and whether it is likely to bring lasting changes to society. Behavioural Psychologists and Marketeers will tell you about how repetition and repeat behaviour becomes habit-forming and eventually changes perceptions and the accepted norm for how things are done.

 

For instance it takes approximately 2 months of regular repeat behaviour for something to become habit-forming. A classic example...

The near ubiquitous Coffee Shop is facing big challenges of late, as much of the population has shifted to Home-Working and has largely migrated out of city centre offices near which most coffee shops are located. The old paradigm of popping out for a barista-prepared coffee 2 or 3 times a day is significantly changed for most office workers. Let alone the fact that many people nowadays try to limit their exposure as much as they can - which means far fewer personal journeys to shops.

There has been something of a concerted campaign around the UK to get people back to work - rather meaning to try to get people back into working in their traditional town and city-centre offices - something that nowadays looks very much like an antiquated construct. Some years ago working from home had something of a stigma attached to it - and home-workers were often viewed as somewhat slackers and certainly not the most productive of highest echelon professionals. And even with the enormous ...
