Consumer / B2C

IDG’s global network of B2C publications are where transaction happens, providing expert advice on purchasing technology, and getting more from the tech you own. People are still purchasing technology. To assist, we’re nudging our deals content to work-from-home hardware such as surge protectors, displays, USB hubs, etc, as well as practical necessities such as webcams and microphones. Beyond work and home office, we are sharing information around connected exercise equipment, game consoles, software and games to entertain and educate children, and anything else that speaks to a sheltered lifestyle. Finding worthwhile deals is becoming difficult as key items aren’t being discounted, prices surge, and ship times are becoming untenably long. IDG’s editors continue to do that legwork on behalf of our readers, focused on surfacing true value in all the markets across the world in which we focus.
