DMA Retail Marketing Council
Customer Centric Retailing – Making the Shift to a New Paradigm
October 29, 2008
1:00 P.M. – 2:00 P.M.
Online

Customer data and loyalty programs have led to more sophisticated customer-centric approaches and traditional retailing. Merchandising, store planning, pricing and even store service have become smarter with the use of customer data and analysis.

During this virtual seminar, you’ll learn how the latest advances in retail analytics intersect with the practical world of commerce. Using sophisticated segmentation modeling and overlays of publicly available data, as well as market research, discover how savvy retailers are delivering an unprecedented degree of insight into who their customers are, what’s important to them, why they shop and why they may be shopping elsewhere for some of the items you offer.

After this virtual seminar you will:

  • Master current consumer trends that lend insight to the State of Retailing in 2008
  • Utilize enhanced data to identify and change behavior patterns on coveted consumer groups
  • Understand how to use data to initiate and foster intimate relationships with your customers
