Summary

Time to focus on what you can control

In this panel series, “The Beating Heart of Retail”, we brought the views of those doing the job to the forefront. Our first panel focused on the steps retailers can take to build greater customer engagement whilst this storm rages from supply chain upwards, and in doing so to regain control over both customer engagement and revenue growth.

This session took the form of a discussion about Chaos and Control, between those tasked with navigating the line between online privacy, Omnichannel engagement, conversion rates and online investment vs in-store. In short - the motherload.

Our panelists discussed some of the following key issues:

  • In the swirling world of demand creation what should you really focus on trying to control?
  • How are you readying for a potential downturn? What spend should you keep v give up?
  • What are the best KPI’s to use in measuring the success of your omnichannel offering?
  • As Apple raises privacy as a key USP how should we best use this to our advantage when engaging customers?
