While attending the The Lead Summit in NYC, I had the opportunity to connect with many insightful industry leaders and had some great conversations with technology providers on current thinking on technology in a digital/omnichannel world and the opportunity for both brands and retailers. *Growing Retail Marketplaces to Drive Profitable Growth* Logicbroker Patrick Niersbach "It’s important that retailers continue to focus on growing their online assortments and marketplaces to drive profitable growth. With our platform you are able to harness this profitability and achieve better data integrity." #marketplaces *Sustainability* David Polinchock "80% of landfill is old clothing and today’s younger generation wants more sustainable and circular solutions. The sneaker brand On Cloud has a great sneaking leasing solution around this." #sustainability United Brand Experience *Watch what happens in apparel – learnings for FMCG Retail* Bryan Gildenberg Confluencer Commerce "With purchase rate and shopper journeys for both retail categories quite different watch for enhanced AI solutions within the apparel industry around hyper personalization and precise logistics applications" #ArtificalIntelligence *Shopper Journey Optimization* Ethan Chernofsky Placer.ai “2024 is the beginning of the omni-channel promise” technology has arrived to enable customer and shopper satisfaction" #pathtopurchase *Harnessing Fandom* Jonathan Sandak Peacock Targeted reach at scale to your biggest fans is a better way to harness business results. #Media *Making Sense of Physical Store Traffic* Jennifer Peters OLLY PBC The data and metrics from online activity needs to be better aligned with the metrics available from the data garnered from in-store traffic, behavior and dwell times. #data #storetraffic *Shopping Routines and Loyalty* Christy Ottesen Recharge Establishing purchasing routines and understanding shopper behavior for digital and emerging brands is a great way to grow recurring revenue and enhanced customer relationships. Brand subscriptions drive traffic, loyalty and enhance product usage. #subscription *In-store Shopper Journeys* Amit Kumar Dragonfruit AI "While much of the conversation is focused on Generative AI and the creative process or personalization for ecommerce, there is a growing recognition that the security camera systems in physical retail are an opportunity waiting to happen for merchants and operators. The ability to see actual customer journeys at scale is a nascent opportunity that will revolutionize the competitive space of retail and we are just getting started there." #Computervision #RethinkRetail
