Refreshing the Retailer's Omnichannel Playbook

Retailers need to be purpose-driven, culturally relevant, and value-minded to stand out in this changing economy. Consumers are becoming more and more price conscious, and new tools and technology are hitting the market every day. It’s harder than ever for marketers to engage with our customers and prioritize all the things we “should” be doing.

Where are retailers establishing multiple touchpoints in the consumer journey to efficiently target their consumers? Is AI helping reduce costs while further personalizing the experience for consumers? With the deprecation of cookies, are loyalty programs the solution for gathering first-party data? Are social media platforms going to be one of the star channels for retailers to drive commerce?

This summer’s Retail Insider Summit will explore how to break down silos and have all of these channels talking to each other in order to reduce spend and increase engagement and ultimately sales.

Panel: Next Gen Loyalty: The Balance Between Convenience and Value
We have a complicated relationship with the word value. Loyalty programs help drive repeat purchases, but customers want convenience, exclusivity, and expertise during their shopping experience – in addition to a good deal. And while price is a key decision factor, it doesn’t install long-term loyalty. How do we drive differentiation, loyalty, and trust that goes beyond markdowns and promotions? What new ways can we provide value without it being a race to the bottom?

It seems like every day there’s a new way for customers to interact with your brand. Paid media, owned marketing, in-store merchandising, website visits, app downloads, social commerce…it’s enough to make a marketer’s head spin. How has this changed the way we plan and buy media? How do we manage frequency capping across all these channels? What opportunities exist for creative efficiencies?

Panel: Put Down The Pitchforks: How Marketing, Product, and IT Can Work Together
Marketing, product, and technology managers are finding themselves working closer together than ever before. In the throes of our day-to-day jobs, it’s easy to forget that we’re all on the same team. Between competing priorities, misaligned goals, and the bugs that inevitably happen in digital, fingers get pointed and discussions get heated. How do we enable better collaboration between these orgs? What can product marketers do to enable backlog transparency? How can brand marketers provide clearer business requirements upfront?

Panel: Balancing Your Retail Media and Brand Marketing Strategies
As retail media spend continues to climb to an estimated $129 billion this year, we’re just now scratching the surface on how this channel fits into the overall media mix and how it works together with brand marketing. Can retail media drive brand awareness or is it purely a conversion-driven tactic? How do we integrate retail media with brand marketing for a seamless customer experience? How can we improve retail media capabilities? Will this become even more important when third-party cookies are deprecated?
