ConsumerX

Digital natives with a desire for personalisation, an expectation of sustainability, and omnichannel retail habits. As consumer behaviours evolve, retail strategies don’t just need to keep up, they need to pre-empt. The goal? To understand what customers want and how they want it before they know it themselves. 

ConsumerX delves into the psyche of tomorrow’s shoppers. Founded on the rich data and insights gathered by RetailX expert analysts, we give you the tools to forecast the behaviours of your next customer and plan marketing strategies to meet their needs.

SustainabilityX

Driven by climate goals and conscious consumerism, the Retail industry is evolving. Those retailers and brands embedding sustainable practices and demonstrating greater transparency are set to steal a march on competitors. 

Why? Because they are differentiating themselves by building trust with consumers and delivering a better shopper experience, whilst also satisfying regulatory requirements and nurturing their bottom line. 

SustainabilityX brings you the latest innovations and best-practice on delivering sustainable retail, whilst leveraging consumer buy-in and avoiding greenwashing at all costs.

Social Media Masters

2.71 billion people shop online. That’s approximately 34% of people in a global population of 8 billion, marking a 2.7% increase from the previous year, and it’s set to keep growing. 

That’s why investing in the right online marketplace strategies is paramount for successful brands, retailers and merchants. Whether you’re already selling on Amazon, or just starting out, the Amazon Sellers Summit is your definitive event for learning to build a strong brand presence on Amazon, drive Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and optimise profits from the platform.
