CUSTOMER COMMUNITY

The Customer Community brings together retail and associate members to focus on topics such as customer experience, customer journeys, customer sentiment and trends, and the supporting analysis and customer-centric innovation that enhance these. 

We delve into specific areas such as customer relationship management, personalized marketing, loyalty and conversion and retention, and leveraging data analytics to understand customer preferences and behaviour. 

By sharing insights, best practices, and industry trends, the group aims to equip its members to understand the landscape of opportunities and thought leadership in this space. 

Member input and feedback are crucial for us to deliver this aim successfully. Please contact Director of Insight Kris Hamer with any thoughts, suggestions or feedback.
