MoMo Detroit – Feb. 11th – Changing Face of Retail
Posted on: January 27, 2013 – Filed under: Detroit
Mobile Trends Shaping the Retail Experience
Join BlueWater Technologies, MARS Advertising and Team Detroit as Mobile Monday Detroit explores and discusses the ‘New Retail’ – choosing and integrating the right technologies and the increasing importance of integrating mobile development within the creative process.
Retail has reached a critical tipping point – the digital marketplace – where the lines between the virtual and physical sholpping world are blurring, placing signficantly more power in the hands of the consumer. This shift requires retailers to consistently and continuously engage customers with timely and relevant interactions, while providing a seamless shopping experience across all touch points. Consumer expectations of the shopping experience far exceed many retailers’ capabilities to deliver, resulting in a fragmented customer journey and lost sales for the retailer.
The current trends are clear:
- Customers are more empowered
- Shopping has become omnipresent
- Competition exists in new and compelling forms
- Mobility is disrupting the path to purchase
New and innovative mobile solutions can provide a tailored and personalized shopping experience that builds loyalty, creates trust and transforms satisfied customers into advocates. Those who are able to seamlessly integrate mobile into their existing shopping experience stand to grow share of wallet and margin. Today’s retailers face two choices: invest in mobile technology as a key way to exceed customer expectations, or risk losing sales and market share to the innovators in their retail segment.
