Take me to PSFK iQThis PSFK Guide is an omnichannel technology report to tools that brands & retailers can use to deliver convenience + drive sales in IRL retail.
The physical store as a retail occasion remains, at least pre-metaverse adoption, experientially distinct from the transactional nature of e-commerce. In order to meet a consumer base spending more of their time, and more of their dollars, online across digital channels, retailers are leveraging an increasingly potent suite of in-store technology paired with next-generation operational enhancements to drive loyalty, capture spend, and remind shoppers of the magic of the in-store occasion. By taking strategic cues and best practices from the digital experience to optimize the omnichannel brick-and-mortar experience, including focusing on convenience, personalization, and the in-store occasion’s unique potential to inform and educate, retailers are able to meet and even exceed the expectations of their shoppers, while at the same time drive target audience acquisition and growth through a seamless, consistent experience.
In this omnichannel technology report, the PSFK iQ research team explores the tools, technologies, and solutions brands and retailers are launching in order to integrate an omnichannel approach to convenience and drive sales across brick-and-mortar stores. Learn about the pre-, during, and post-purchase solutions being deployed to provide an optimized and seamless experience across the entire shopping journey. Through five featured strategies and highlighted marketplace examples, this report will help your organization develop a retailing approach that utilizes technology, computer vision, and automation in order to provide maximum personalization and convenience for your customer base.
