Technology and consumer behaviour are changing the world faster and further than at any point in human history. India is witnessing tremendous changes in the digital space, with Facebook users increasing at a rapid pace, and internet access getting a real boost through introduction of 3G and 4G. These changes are having a profound impact on business and brands.
Today, brands can no longer operate in the traditional manner; the one way communication route is becoming ineffective. Modern consumers prefer engagement, and real time interaction, and the digital space is providing just that desired platform. However, marketers and businesses are facing major challenges in order to adapt to this rapid transformation. There is a dire need for knowledge sharing in this new evolving field.
Designed for retailers aiming to increase key metrics through smart use of customer centric digital and mobile marketing initiatives, the 12th edition of India Retail Forum will feature an inspiring and not-to-be-missed KNOWLEDGE SERIES with global digital marketing guru Michael Leander on September 14, 2015. Through a five-point strategy, Leander will help retailers optimise their digital marketing strategies to acquire more customers, retain them and subsequently earn a larger share of wallet.
