With Shopping Options Multiplying, Retailers Reaching Out
Today's retail trends are straightforward but important to remember: Unify online and physical operations and always put the shopper first. Retailers and customers can exchange information through a huge variety of platforms today. This fracturing has made it more difficult for companies to present their messages in a clear and uninterrupted way, and the battle for consumer attention has reached new heights of both challenge and importance.
Today's customers require compelling stimuli from brands
Creating an effective customer experience today means saturating the digital and physical realms with consistent branded content. There is no longer such a thing as a captive audience.
Using technology to improve your service check-in process
Providing a favorable customer experience from the service department relies on speed and ease of procedures. Effectively streamlining these factors can be achieved via interactive kiosks.
The role of customer education in the buying process
Customers today are adamant about performing a lot of product research independently. Businesses can turn this into an advantage, however, by providing great informational experiences.

We've reasoned that leveraging technology in outlets is the way to go, but before we can use it effectively, we need to know how it can be harnessed to encourage customer engagement.
