When talking about the Toy category, the only visitors' measure outstands fluctuated throughout the pandemic but remains relevant as part of the consumers' entertainment necessities.
Sites related to Fashion also show sustainable growth since the pandemic started, highlighting slightly when the Hot Fashion arrived from August 31 to the 6 to September, along with Cosmetics and Jewellery categories.
As an effect of the Sanitary crisis, the three Retail sub-categories that have grown during the year are Health, Department stores, Food -Supermarkets, and households. All cases increased their audience by more than 50% compared to previous years.
There was an increase in brand publishing, commerce, and interactions; consequently, the malls re-opened in June and returned to class in August contributed to it.
