Modern shopkeeping
This talk deals with two contentions. Firstly that e-Commerce has to date been easy, simply requiring the building of infrastructure to deal with a channel that has inflated naturally. Growth for mature online businesses is now becoming harder to achieve, requiring the application of active online retailing skills to create incremental sales. And secondly that multi-channel retailing is fundamentally changing online KPIs. Channel orientation has to evolve to customer orientation with brands and marketing campaigns executed and evaluated holistically, challenging return on investment attribution models. I’ll describe the skills and tools needed to meet these challenges and how Lakeland is adapting its digital and offline retailing to be a “Modern Shopkeeper”.
