Omnichannel Futures Conference 2019

The way we shop has changed dramatically in the last five years.

If you only concentrate on one thing in 2017 it should be mobile orientated. The market has changed structurally - digital is a bigger leverage then retailers thought originally. Retailers need to understand how consumers use mobile as part of the shopping journey and what will influence the user to purchase.

As the divide between digital and physical shopping* continues to blur, consumers no longer differentiate between channels, so retailers must focus on delivering seamless customer experiences and yet many companies are failing at this.

Your customer doesn't care that you're omnichannel ready, they have never heard of the term and are unlikely to - they just want to be able to shop easily whenever and wherever they like. The point and main reason behind the emergence of omnichannel is as a response to customers channel-hopping and yet still wanting the same brand and product experience.

Major retailers are undergoing restructuring efforts to consolidate their online and offline divisions into a single retail group, with a focus on company, not channel metrics.

The omnichannel experience needs to ensure it is appealing to the future generation of shoppers such as millennials and beyond. We are now seeing some of the latest emerging technology that could shape the future of retail, but how can you check which emerging technology makes sense?

You will hear from speakers who are at the forefront of technological change, facing traditional barriers and succeeding.

*CBRE has found that 79 percent of international consumers still visit a physical store to buy a product, reflecting the key role the in-store experience plays in the overall shopping journey.

• How omnichannel investment is driving the future retail business
