Agenda & Speakers

Creating Measurable Customer Experience & Loyalty in an Evolving Retail Market

The retail space is nearly unrecognizable from what it was ten, even five years ago. The dawn of online shopping has thrust retailers of all sizes and specialties into a relative unknown frontier of merging online selection and customization with a traditional in-store customer experience. The result is a crossroads in which individual organizations must find unique solutions that create alignment within the brand; there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
 
At Loyalty Expo 2018, marketers from leaders in this industry will discuss the implications of an increasingly digital space, and what their organizations are doing to both adapt to the change, while still remaining true to the values that have become their respective calling cards.
 
Key Takeaways:
 
- The unique approaches taken by brands facing evolving challenges in retail
- Finding a solution that fits the brand; the importance of a company staying true to its established identity
- The merging of in-store experience with an online catalog selection
