How different is the use of digital
channels during the shopping journey
in developing countries compared with
more mature markets?
Is there a clear segmentation of
shoppers based on their shopping
behavior and preferences across all
channels (for example, taking into
account different behavior for women,
tech-shy or older people)?
When are retailers and manufacturers
relevant to digital shoppers in their
all-channel experience, such as with
social media and smartphones – and
how does this differ depending on the
shopper segment?
Selling direct to consumers through app stores is tough, particularly if you’re a small developer and although some apps succeed there’s a lot of competition for consumers 59p’s. But if you’re a developer working for a brand, whether small or large, the critical success factor is to ensure that the app that you build creates the maximum value for the business that you’re working for.
In my presentation to OpenMIC in Oxford I talked about the different ways that businesses create value and how it’s important for developers creating or pitching for apps support this value.
The key point is that if you understand the motivation of the brand and how they benefit then your app development or pitch will hit what your client is looking for.
I provide these examples:
1. Raise revenue
2. Stimulate mobile commerce
3. Save cost
4. Extend reach
5. Improve brand perception
6. Improve customer engagement
7. Advertising/brand extention
8. Differentiate product
9. Lock in customers
Later on in the pack I look at the role of the mobile operator in app markets and provide some stats on smartphone penetration.

6 Referral Marketing Best Practices To Turn Customers Into Word-Of-Mouth Mark...G3 Communications
Word-of-mouth (WOM) is becoming retailers’ most powerful marketing channel. In fact, 80% of all purchase cycles involve some form of WOM recommendation, according to Forrester Research. These recommendations can drive three to five times more conversions over any other marketing channel.
To harness the power of WOM, retailers’ customer acquisition strategies must include a referral marketing program. The resulting WOM recommendations can help retailers increase awareness, acquire new customers and boost overall sales.
During this webinar, you’ll learn:
How referral programs help drive customer acquisition;
Best practices to increase awareness and new sales via referral programs; and
Ways to measure program results and calculate “real” ROI.
Register for the webinar, titled: 6 Referral Marketing Best Practices To Turn Customers Into Word-Of-Mouth Marketers, and learn how you can turn one-time shoppers into life-long brand advocates.

The Future of Respondent Engagement: Motivating Respondents to Participate in...Delvinia
While digital technologies have fundamentally changed the way companies can capture the voice of the customer, the challenge is to understand the underlying motivation for consumers to participate in market research in the digital age. Given this changing environment, Delvinia wanted to understand how to motivate Canadians to share their opinions. We partnered with Ryerson University and secured funding from the Canadian Federal Economic Development Agency to undertake a study using AskingCanadians, our proprietary online research community, to fundamentally understand the motivational drivers to engage consumers to participate in research. Delvinia CEO Adam Froman worked with Dr. Mary Foster, Professor of Marketing at the Ted Rogers School of Management, to look at why people participate in market research from the participant’s perspective. In this presentation, Adam shares the findings of this groundbreaking research and examples of how this knowledge can be applied to increase participation rates.

"Retailers across categories are rethinking their brick-and-mortar strategies, shifting from pushing sales to building communities. In fact, new data from Retail TouchPoints and TimeTrade reveals that more brands are experimenting with pop-ups, product launch events, influencer events and classes to drive in-store traffic, build local engagement and even drive bottom-line results. During this webinar, RTP and TimeTrade will provide an exclusive first look at the results, delving into:

Building Customer Success With Enhanced Employee EngagementG3 Communications

"Successful retailers recognize that their front-line employees are much more than just shelf-stockers and cashiers: they are absolutely critical to creating the kind of unique, memorable customer experiences that differentiate a retail brand. Unless their employees feel that they are an engaged, vital part of the shopping experience, retailers are finding that it’s nearly impossible for them to execute on customer experience (CX) initiatives.
By tapping into the Voice of the Employee (VoE) — which involves collecting, managing and acting on employee feedback — and by linking it to Voice of the Customer (VoC) programs, retailers can get the data they need to enhance employee engagement. And with Millennials and Gen Z employees entering the workforce, their desire for finding connection and purpose at their jobs increases the necessity and value of such programs.
This Retail TouchPoints Connected Consumer Series webinar, sponsored by Medallia, will use real-world retailer examples to explore how VoE and VoC can be successfully linked, and how retailers can use the data and insights generated by these communication initiatives to build employee engagement, enhance the customer experience and boost the bottom line. Additionally, attendees will learn what’s needed to establish a VoE program; what to look for in a partner; and how best to use the information that the program generates to achieve desired business results."

"The last mile has become a customer experience battleground for retailers, but it’s one that brands can win. While Amazon has raised consumer expectations around delivery speed, what shoppers really want are delivery options tailored to their needs — including self-service options; visibility into where and how their delivery will arrive; and no-hassle resolution when issues do occur. Retailers that focus on last-mile improvements reap benefits such as higher NPS scores, increased AOV and greater customer loyalty.
In this Connected Consumer Series webinar from Retail TouchPoints, sponsored by Convey, attendees will learn how Delivery Experience Management (DEM) provides the single source of last-mile data and tools needed so that retailers can actively manage deliveries efficiently, at scale. Nearly 12% of all shipments encounter some kind of issue, from delays to damaged packages — retailers can either head off problems before they occur, or quickly resolve them to the customer’s satisfaction. With DEM, retailers can ensure customers get their orders how and when they expect, taking intelligent action to correct issues along the way and uphold brand promises.
DEM best practices from retailers including Grove Collaborative, Uncommon Goods and Neiman Marcus will illustrate how retailers can proactively turn around negative shipping experiences, and often avoid them altogether. Expert commentary from a leading industry analyst will identify key last mile challenges and reveal what retailers can do to address them, resulting in efficient transportation, top line growth, and happier customers."

"From Amazon opening physical stores to Facebook opening a marketplace, the retail world is changing. Fast. And consumer behavior is the driving force behind much of that change. Brands and retailers have shifted toward “omnichannel” strategies across the retail landscape to target the increasing number of consumer touchpoints as well as the convergence of channels, business models and customer experiences. But e-commerce marketplaces are still a vital part of this changing landscape.
In this webinar, we’ll talk about recent consumer trends and specifically how brands and retailers can leverage e-commerce marketplaces to capitalize on them.
You’ll learn:
• An overview of omnichannel 2.0: Stores, delivery, mobile and voice
• Why marketplaces fit in well with current omnichannel trends
• Which domestic and international marketplaces you should consider
• How to win on marketplaces through more visibility

"Does the task of identifying what existing content you can use for a new campaign bring on a cold sweat? Can you justify the cost of new content, without knowing exactly what you’ve got on hand? Content audits are the gifts that keep on giving, unwrapping new opportunities as you analyze the results and identify opportunities for targeting existing and new personas; diversifying your formats; and identifying neglected buying stages. The results of a custom audit can go further to give you laser focus on a specific campaign, a trending topic, or a new theme or persona. Presenting the results of a content audit can also help educate stakeholders and gain support for making investments in content marketing best practices.

Data fuels every marketer’s strategy, but not all data is created equal. To be successful today, marketers need to be able to effectively analyze, optimize and maintain data accuracy as the first steps to gaining true insight. This is particularly true for account-based programs, where visibility into key decision makers is imperative. As the saying goes, “Garbage in, garbage out.” If the data going into your CRM is incomplete, incorrect or simply not the right data, any programs that rely on that data will deliver disappointing results.
During this webinar, David Cowings, Chief Marketing Data Scientist at RingCentral, and Chris Lynde, CEO of SaleScout Data Solutions, will share the steps needed to optimize buyer contact data and sales intelligence, with real-life insights from RingCentral’s demand gen data optimization process.
