RE:STORE – Redefining Retail Conference
Branding and design firm Shikatani Lacroix commissioned a study that examines how current trends are shaping consumer shopping behaviours. The study reveals the emotional connections consumers experience while shopping online versus in retail. Understanding these emotional connections is key to helping retailers guide their efforts and protect against sales leakage.
The Blink Factor: Creating the right brand imprint
The speed at which brands develop relationships and create impressions is accelerating as consumers make split-second purchasing decisions. Brands today are challenged to build meaningful relationships with consumers who are skeptical, overwhelmed and confused. By understanding how consumers effectively connect with brands, marketers can position their products to build brand loyalty and make the right first impression.
Does Your Brand Have ViBEs? How to create vertically integrated brand engagement strategies
Many marketing campaigns and tactically driven communications initiatives are failing to effectively connect with consumers. With the fragmentation of distribution channels, consumer confusion due to an abundance of choice, and the growth of social media as a customer game-changing tool, brands are challenged in growing market share and loyalty. This presentation will explore the dynamics impacting how consumers engage with brands, and examine an emerging trend that delivers measurable results.
