Summary

No more channels, just the customer

Across Europe brand owners and retailers are shifting their business strategies - focusing on customers before profit, ending the concept of “Store First” for many, and aligning every channel to offer a better experience.

As a retail business making choices about priority is increasingly challenging. Should you focus on product, store experience, logistics or marketing? How many channels can you truly support, whilst making sure you sell the stock you have committed to? Every month is seems brings a new threat coupled tightly to a new opportunity.

Our dinner in late November will bring together retail and brand leaders from across Amsterdam to debate this challenge in advance of 2024. Martijn Ameling from Ace & Tate will kick off our evening’s conversations, and we hope to see you there.
