Evolving Consumer Preferences and Retail Strategies
Massey University, in conjunction with a range of industry partners including RetailX and Retail NZ, is here to help provide some guidance and reassurance as we pivot to the new normal.
Are we there yet? Not by a long way! Together we are writing the history books, plus a new playbook for retail. How shoppers "think, feel, say and do" requires new considerations and connection points, but some things have remained unchanged. This webinar will bring retailers up to speed with what you need to know to ensure you are connecting with customers, in the right way for today, tomorrow and the future.
Topics include:
Research to show where consumers are at - preferences, intent
Brands of choice and reward for doing things right
NZ consumers online engagement and spend
Penetration of digital tools in NZ - social media, websites, apps etc..
Tools to be used to talk to your audience
Tools to be used to sell to your audience
Practical advice on in-market tools and costs
Direction of retail in the next few years – looking ahead with a crystal ball
