BREAKOUT SESSION / TUESDAY / OCTOBER 9, 2018 / 11:15 AM
How Not Knowing Your Customers Can Kill Your Customer Experience
Keeping your customers happy is getting harder as their appetites for technology and innovation increase. They expect you to meet them where they are — on their phones. And in order to meet those expectations, you must know who they are and what they want. This session will give you best practices on not only collecting customer data but how to use it to create loyalty programs and personalized offers and discounts that will improve sales. It will also discuss good old fashioned local area marketing.
