Helping Forward-Thinking Brands Adapt To the New World of Retail: Worksmith

Over the past year, the shift to e-commerce has accelerated across nearly every industry sector. As customers rely heavily on digital channels, it is important for brands to create meaningful customer experiences with shoppers through a screen. Rethinking customer experiences shouldn’t be limited to online channels. Retailers can also elevate their brick-and-mortar experience by incorporating new digital elements. In-store digital screens, for example, can deliver a more physical experience while providing continuity with digital marketing efforts. Retailers should work to establish similar connection points between brands and customers. These elements can be part of a retailer’s retail media network (RMN) offering and provide value for brands and retailers alike, giving brands a new touchpoint with shoppers and giving retailers an incremental revenue stream. Consumers benefit from a new way to learn about brands that are relevant to them.
