Event Details
Shopper Marketing, an evolving term, can be thought of as the orchestration of all activities that turn shoppers into buyers. The ability to get inside shoppers? minds, influencing their decisions along the path to purchase and building brand loyalty along the way, has become key to gaining distinct competitive advantage for today?s marketers and retailers.
In this session, we will discuss how shopper marketing is evolving into cutting-edge strategies pulling together research, collaboration, technology and social media to cut through the clutter and reach shoppers even as traditional media effectiveness wanes. We will use real world case studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of these techniques. Together, we will brainstorm ideas about how today?s marketers can develop effective marketing stimuli steeped in a deep understanding of the target shoppers? behavior to build brand equity, delight the shopper and lead to new purchase decisions.
