Customer Experience 2020: Omni-Channel Retailing & Loyalty

Consumers now expect a seamless experience as they engage more actively with retailers in-store, online and on the go. From inventory availability to loyalty programs and synchronized support, both in-store and across devices, retail brands are in a unique position to build meaningful customer affinity on the path to purchase and beyond. Savvy retailers understand these changing dynamics and the power their physical locations have to drive e-commerce growth and how discovery online can increase traffic back to their stores. After taking stock of the latest omni-channel retailing trends and loyalty program strategies, we’ll challenge our panelists for predictions about what customer experience, brand engagement and loyalty may look like for retailers in the not-so-distant future.

Forging Consumer Connections with Mobile, Social, and Emerging Media

Today more than ever we’re seeing innovation and fast paced developments in emerging media and technologies. Each of these new media offer novel ways for brands to connect with and interact with audiences. These emerging technologies also make a habit of drastically altering the ways in which people shop, consumer media, and interact with each other and the world. Keeping up can be exhausting, even for the most savvy of digital marketers. From mobile games to virtual reality to messaging apps to ephemeral media, which trends are real and which are fads? Which provide opportunities for marketers to innovate and get closer to consumers? How can brands tap into these developments to gain deeper understandings of who their customers are and what they want?

POV — Measuring Engagement with the Cross-Channel Consumer

Joe Caponsacco, Director of Sales, Origami Logic

As brands expand their use of digital media and adtech to engage and build relationships with modern consumers, the ability to translate cross-channel performance data into meaningful insights about what’s working and what’s not has become an essential part of marketing success. According to a new report published by Brand Innovators and Origami Logic, however, only 3 out of 10 marketers currently excel in their efforts to extract insights from their marketing performance data. We’ll dive into the survey findings and explore why 80% of marketers are putting more focus on measuring performance in 2017. You’ll walk away with practical tips about how your organization can improve its measurement effectiveness.

Sensory Stimulation & The Future of Brand Experience

While many marketers are embracing new digital tools and emerging media to reach their consumers, there’s simply no replacement for the “IRL” experience, that is, contextually connecting with real people in the real world and allowing your customers to touch, smell, see, hear, and taste your brand. Hear from some of today’s top experiential marketers and learn how they’ve translated their brands and products into unique, memorable experiences that stimulate the senses, and how they leverage new technologies to take those experiences to the next level.
