It’s hard to believe the United States has now been locked down in some capacity for three months. During this time, everyone’s life changed, and every organization has had to adapt in one way or another to stay afloat. A number of brands, however, have thrived in the age of social distancing, benefitting from opportunities triggered by home-bound consumers and workforce.

Consumers shifted their priorities from external entertainment and resources to arts and crafts to engage their children, grocery delivery to avoid crowded markets, and bird feeders to liven up their homes. From TikTok to disinfecting wipes and bread baking, the different stages of quarantine “trends” are reflected in the performance of these organizations since shelter-in-place orders came about in March.

Even when consumers are confined to their homes, they still need things. Companies that have adapted to life revolving around the home have seen major success over the last few months.
