At this time last year, we never could have predicted the 2020 that was to come. At the start of this year we had every reason to believe that 2020 would be our biggest and best year ever and continued momentum would fuel our clients’ growth and prosperity. By February, we knew that everything was changing, with so much confusion around how and for how long. As we wrap up the year, still steeping in uncertainty, we can look back at 2020 with a more gracious point of view; one of patience, forgiveness and true gratitude that our industry and our clients are still thriving and have been part of the solution as commerce has shifted. We can look back on the things that we learned and the small, quiet details that we noticed for the first time and appreciate all of the good knowing that our team made it through this wild year together.

Here are a few of the experiences that the Vaimo team celebrated in 2020:

  • Master’s Degrees & Macrame
  • New babies
  • New puppies
  • Half-marathons
  • Photography
  • Book clubs
  • New homes
  • 25th wedding anniversary
  • Commercial pilot’s license
  • Wood-working
  • Pet bunnies (and more pet bunnies)
  • Painting and home renovations – especially in our Zoom areas
  • Beach running
  • Giant pumpkins
  • Yoga
  • Surfing
  • Skiing
  • Gardening
  • Golfing
  • Cycling
  • Cooking (so much cooking)

Looking forward to 2021, we will all carry on the yearning for new hobbies, skills and recipes, and celebrate the smallest of events knowing how special they can be.

We are happy that despite the turbulences in 2020, we managed to successfully launch 49 eCommerce website projects for our clients globally. There were several successes we shared throughout the year in our blog, like:

Top Nordic retailer’s ELON launch of new online store

Champion Europe eCommerce journey

Elan Skis case study

SC Motors case study

Lantmännen case study

Our clients success with the 2020 Black Friday and Cyber Week  

Our hope for our clients and partners in 2021 is to continue to grow and focus on the positive global impacts that together, we can make. Vaimo will remain focused on perfecting the tools and strategies to guide you no matter what the new year brings and remain a stable and solid partner in this ever-changing environment. Though we didn’t get to spend time together celebrating awards and highlighting our mutual success stories, we recognise the hard work and dedication that you provided to us and are honoured to be part of your team.

The Vaimo team wishes you a festive holiday season, and we thank you as always for working with us in 2020. May your holidays and new year be filled with serenity and joy!
