EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE INSIGHTS

The Combined Customer Experience

In an era when customers can literally shop anywhere with the tap of a button, attracting customers simply through price, selection and convenience is no longer enough. Retail stores need to become experience-oriented and evolve their offering into a lifestyle destination. Whether bringing a community feeling by adding a café, providing more meaningful personalisation through gift packing and incorporating technology, art and creativity, giving customers unmissable and authentic in-store experiences is going to set retailers apart.

Predictive Analytics

Big data has begun to revolutionise how retailers market to their potential and existing customers. As companies get smarter

on how they apply data, an important application will be predicting future trends and forecasting demand.

By making accurate predictions – whether it’s better customer recommendations or anticipating where to

place products and which regions or stores will be hot tickets – leveraging data will allow retailers to really get to know their customers and go one step further to build a relationship with them.

Technology Choices

AR and VR are bringing a realm of possibilities to enhance the physical, in-store experience. While entertaining, many retailers are struggling to use these technologies to convert active sales value or see continuous business development. There are also cultural considerations; in China and Singapore, customers are more willing to try products in AR/VR, while those in Hong Kong are less enthusiastic about using these technologies. While technology offers a lot of promises to retailers, there needs to be careful consideration about which are most useful and suitable for the market.

Every year, Retail Asia Expo invites a select number of retail industry leaders to share their insights and knowledge on the retail sector ahead of the show. This Advisory Committee is an invaluable way to ensure each Retail Asia Expo closely reflects the needs of exhibitors and guests that come through its doors. Here we give an overview of the hottest topics touched upon in this year’s meeting.

Retail Asia Expo Here to Help You Seize the Potential

While Asia’s retail market presents great potential, the fast-paced change of technology and consumer preferences means retailers need to stay on the ball. Each edition of Retail Asia Expo is tailored with features designed to best equip attendees with knowledge and insights to stay ahead of the curve. Find out in the coming pages how we’ve designed this year’s Retail Asia Expo to respond to your needs, from new exhibition zones, educational features and rounding up the very best of our exhibitors to help you on your way.
