Opportunities for CDOs, CMOs and E-commerce Managers
Succeed with Unified Commerce
The digitalization of services and growth of mobile usage have disrupted the retail industry. Today’s customers are ultra-connected, better informed and more discerning than ever. Beyond comparing products and price, they are looking for unique, personalized shopping experiences tailored to their needs. Over the last few years, it’s become imperative for brands to evolve and adopt new communication and sales channels to harness the commercial opportunities offered by changing digital avenues and habits.
This is the new status quo, which comes with issues and challenges familiar to experienced managers. Namely, how do you reconcile online and in-store shopping journeys? How do you offer a cohesive brand experience across multiple communication touchpoints? The store of tomorrow will be a full-service, connected and intelligent hub. In this context, establishing a unified shopping journey is key to delivering integrated and effective marketing strategies, strengthening your brand image, building customer loyalty and maximizing sales across offline and online, from mobile to social.
