In an era of mass customization and commoditization, great product is simply not enough within many sectors, including retail. Catering to today’s consumer requires an understanding of their unique wants, needs, objectives, and circumstances. Discerning businesses know that personalization makes people pay attention and makes them more likely to engage with your brand. Retail today isn’t an establishment, it’s an experience.

Digital trends are shaping this experience in the retail industry. More specifically, shoppers are becoming savvier, attention span is on the decline, new digital marketing channels continue to emerge, customers are becoming more aware about what is happening with their data – to only name a few. This means that consumers have a plethora of choices when it comes to interacting with a retail brand and they are expecting each of these touchpoints to provide a positive experience. Even more so, digital influences almost every step of the decision-making and buying process. So, are your digital marketing strategies keeping up?

In our latest webinar, a retail group specializing in clothing and home goods, uncovers how they cater to consumers in the digital age across many of their brands.
