AGENDA 09.00 Check-in. 09.30 Welcome speech. 09.45 What’s hot in the fashion industry? Facts and figures to guide your customer experience. 10.15 Round Table. Omnichannel: how is it applied in real world for fashion? Omnichannel retailers let consumers experience the brand, not a channel within a brand. Merchandise and promotions are not channel specific, but rather consistent across all retail channels. The brick-and-mortar stores become an extension of the supply chain in which purchases may be made in the store, but are researched through other “channels” of communication. With omni-channel retailing, marketing is made more efficient with offers that are relative to a specific consumer determined by purchase patterns, social network affinities, website visits, loyalty programs, and other data mining techniques. 11.15 Coffee break. 11.45 Users, not devices: multi-screen customer journeys. Leading companies that develop apps, services, and storefronts need to consider how their product is used on multiple devices and screen sizes. This includes considering how their product will adapt when a customer moves between devices to accomplish a task. All digital managers, especially in the e-commerce field, should be aware of that. 12.45 Networking lunch. 14.30 Unconventional social and digital marketing drives online sales. During this panel discussion the speakers will outline how unconventional digital ideas for fashion boost online sales. Social networks, as well, can help creating and enhancing brand engagement. 15.30 Russia: one of the fastest developing online fashion markets. User interest in online shopping with the intent to purchase has increased by 16% in the last year in Russia. This major growth has offset falling interests in the general fashion category. Brand leaders have also changed over the last 12 months. Shifts in user interest in brands have impacted the dynamics of local online retailers versus international online retailers.
