Loved by This Year’s Attendees — Catch Up On What Made It So Valuable
“How the customers dynamic is changing and how important delivery, particularly around those click and collect services and how important they are and what impact that can have on the overall customer experience.”
“Knowing that promotions are critical and that rewards are really important but which rewards, it’s not only about the loyalty programs but it’s what makes them loyal.”
“Definitely offering affordable alternatives for customers and how important that is in today’s market and implementing loyalty programs that actually provide something useful.”
“Stock availability is really important in converting shoppers who have come in-store and online particularly for our industry.”
“Retail is difficult, it’s dynamic and has a lot of macro impact so it’s always good to see a different perspective and obviously helps us divide and conquer.”
“Previously we think that maybe discount or the price is the most important for the customers but actually it’s fun to find out it’s free delivery who’s the deal maker.”
“I’ve always thought or considered that digital was the channel that people were going to more regularly but actually once a week people are going in-store, so completely shifted my thought process of the consumer journey.”
“Overall changing sentiment of the customer and how they’re becoming a little bit more price sensitive given the sort of macro factors at play at the moment and the tendency to shift towards flexible payment options really relevant for our business.”
