Marketing to the Modern Consumer: Will You Tweet, Pin, Post or Text?
Speakers:
Steve Kazanjian, Chief Strategist - Steve Kazanjian Consulting
&
Ben Stewart, Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer - Share Magnet & Social Rebate
In less than five years, nearly 50% of total CPG growth will come from e-commerce channels. Moreover, the emergence of new hybrid retail channels will forever redefine the role of consumer packaging in a dynamic and evolving marketplace. When a Facebook post can quickly overtake traditional marketing as a dominant purchasing driver, what are the new industry best practices? How can marketers create effective, emotional product and packaging experiences that will connect with consumers on mobile, tablet, and web platforms as well as in Brick-and-Mortar? Soon, we may be left with only one low-resolution jpeg to sell our products on line. How will you get it noticed and make it count?
Our two dynamic speakers for November will share some key strategies to help brands evolve into today’s omni-channel market place and will discuss ways of going beyond “first-look" status to create customer loyalty, re-purchase and brand expansion. Steve will also share some topline research on the impact of consumer packaging satisfaction in driving trial, repurchase and switch behaviors in both Developed Countries (Germany, Japan, UK & US) versus Developing (Brazil, China, India, Russian, South. Africa and Turkey) Packaging Markets.
