The lack of public at the championships is a factor that benefits MotoGP Store, as we are the main online showcase for rider and team merchandising and the MotoGP universe.

Races have been a place where you could normally sell merchandise to the public. With the COVID restrictions, this has not been possible. Have you had to readjust your sales strategy and/or look for new sales channels?
The lack of public at the championships is a factor that benefits MotoGP Store, as we are the main online showcase for rider and team merchandising and the MotoGP universe, so any user looking for our product tends to go to our online shop first. In addition, we have always guaranteed an excellent user experience from all points of view of the customer journey. On the other hand, we have not expanded channels for strict COVID19 reasons, but we have done so for strategic reasons that have nothing to do with the pandemic. What we have had to do because of COVID is to put more effort and work more on the current channels, as all the competition has had to push to increase market share.

In the next few years, we are foreseeing an impressive increase for the global retail industry. While this can be beneficial for the global eCommerce industry, it also means that there will be more competition, as well.
European Data Protection rules were launched back in 2018, to protect the confidentiality of our personal data but even four years later, there is still a lack of understanding among companies and consumers about how to comply with the best practices. Big tech companies, like Google or Amazon, usually refer to the acronym GDPR, to explain the rules that verify the data, so it is not used inappropriately, but to add details to create confusion.
