NEW YORK, April 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE: FVRR), the company that is changing how the world works together, today released its Spring 2024 Business Trends Index. Among the millions of inquiries on Fiverr’s marketplace, these digital services saw the largest increase in demand over the last six months. Taking advantage of opportunity is the theme at the center of the data:

(1) Businesses are consulting with freelance experts to elevate company performance and management
(2) Innovative companies are looking to implement AI in their marketing and processing operations
(3) Retail businesses and consumer brands are ramping up their packaging game to cater towards an increasingly discerning, global audience

“It’s always an exciting look into the inner workings of business needs and what they are experimenting with when we release these findings. What’s striking is that along with the expected curiosity around AI is a growing demand for business fundamentals and a return to the pleasure of packaging for physical products,“ said Matti Yahav, CMO of Fiverr. “From mom-and-pop shops to multinational companies, organizations are looking for effective solutions to the day-to-day traditional elements of running a business while also experimenting with new technologies to revamp their operations to better serve their customers.”

These are the trending global searches over the past six months:

New and old businesses are looking for a spark in innovation or creation

Businesses recognize that the path to success can come in various forms. What works for an up-and-coming ecommerce storefront may not be the same for a well-established brick-and-mortar shop. That is why businesses are relying more on business consultants and experts to identify, navigate, and troubleshoot whatever challenges they face. Whether it's launching a new venture or optimizing strategies for sustained growth, these freelancers are playing a critical role in starting, managing, and executing across all touch points of businesses today.
