Marketing is more important than ever. With consumers choosing retailers, brands and products not just based on price but also on sentiment, affinity and their ethical credentials, it’s key for marketers to get it right or risk missing out on a completely new and dynamic consumer.
The entire retail sector has been acutely impacted by this change, with customers buying across retailers and switching brands more frequently than ever before as they are spoilt for choice in today’s relentlessly competitive marketplace.
From major retailers like John Lewis, Ikea and JD Sports to high street and ecommerce brands such as Zara, Very and Primark, billions are being spent to retain customer loyalty, drive brand engagement and encourage sales.
The latest addition to the Retail Gazette family, Marketing Beat is an independent online news publication, providing the latest and most important marketing news, trends, opinion and insight.
