Shopper Marketing / Engagement

The year 2022 brought uncertainty, inflation and some unexpected opportunities for the industry. Join a panel of retailers and brands as they recap their wins for the year along with how they innovated for consumers. The panelists also share their predictions and emerging solutions for 2023.

In spite of industry disruption and changing behaviors, brick-and-mortar remains a vital part of the shopper journey. In this webinar, our panel of executives discuss current trends that are shaping in-store experience, what improvements are emerging and what to expect in the future. We'll also explore how CPG brands are connecting with shoppers in-store and the role technology plays in improving that experience.

Our Retail Intel webinar series continues with a close look at the rise of healthcare and well-being at retail and how the category is evolving as consumers' needs and preferences continue to change. Joined by special panel guests, including the founder of PlantX and our returning subject matter expert from Great Northern Instore, we discuss the latest trends and marketing strategies to engage health-conscious consumers. We also touch on the current inflationary economic environment, how shoppers have been engaging with brands digitally versus in-store, and what new shopper behaviors are here to stay.

In the world of emerging platforms, we’ve uncovered one space that's rife for CPG exploration and poised for fast growth — DoorDash.

Join us for a quick-hitting trends presentation on grocery retail, followed by an interactive discussion with special guests from leading grocers who are innovating across the path to purchase.

Consumer buying and drinking preferences have evolved, which is largely due to e-commerce. The barrier to entry for new alcohol brands to infiltrate the industry is lower than ever: traditional BevAlc brands are producing more products to cater to new consumer preferences and even other CPG brands are entering the alcohol category with "spiked" and "hard" twists to their non-alcoholic beverages. In an industry where preferences, tastes and shopping habits continue to evolve, agility is a must for brands. During this webinar, sponsor partner Aki kicks things off to explore how the BevAlc category has evolved and why brands need to rethink the role of data. Then we dive into a panel discussion with leading BevAlc brands to learn how the new rules of engagement have altered their marketing strategies and how they’ve evolved to keep up with their consumers’ developing preferences.

For this episode of Retail Intel, we sat down with executives from Total Wine & More, Starbucks and Jushi Holdings to explore how they’re rethinking their retail stores to engage with today’s shoppers. As we dive into each of their sectors — BevAlc, coffee and cannabis — we’ll look at evolving shopper behavior, changes in strategies, innovation in physical retail locations, lessons learned and what’s next as they navigate the future of in-store experience.

We discuss the emerging trend of the store serving as a community hub — and what that means for the evolution of physical retail as shoppers return to stores. Joining the conversation, our special retail guests will share their insights on transforming brick-and-mortar locations into dynamic experiences that bring the brand to life, while facilitating human connection and community-building to become part of the cultural iconography.
