The Growing Intersection of Food and Retail 🛍️🍽️ Food retail is no longer just an add-on; it has become an essential element of the industry, fundamentally changing how brands interact with consumers. Today, department stores are dedicating entire sections to food, concept stores are seamlessly blending culinary offerings into their spaces, and food-focused brands are enhancing experiences with unique aesthetics and atmospheres. But why this shift? Because customers are no longer just buying products—they're buying experiences. Offering an immersive food experience allows brands to engage their audience at a more accessible price point, building a deeper connection and drawing them in without requiring a premium purchase. This strategy creates new avenues to showcase brand values, personality, and creativity. The result? Customers get a taste (literally!) of what the brand represents—encouraging loyalty and leaving a lasting impression that goes far beyond the plate. The convergence of food and retail is redefining how brands resonate with customers. ✨ #topretailexpert #retailenvironment #foodretail #retailexperience #customerexperience #retailatmosphere #retailconsultant

Why do I still pay RM0.20 for this straw? (1 Feb 2024 - Starbucks decided to charge RM0.20 for their biodegradable straws) Convenience: since its biodegradable (that’s what Starbucks claims), I pay for a better drinking experience. Convenience and experience. That’s it. As I reflect on how consumers behave, brands need to still place high importance on… 1. Usability. The ease of use of your service / product is what people are consciously or subconsciously looking for. How can you make the process easier? What convenience can you add that people don’t mind paying or engaging you for? 2. Encounters and impact. Your brand can leave a huge impression on customers. Simply by the way your team communicate with customers. The micro details. The level of assurance and personalisation. How can you leave a positive mark on your customers? As I reflect more on these facts and questions. It’s simple: 💡Processes. The backbone that ensures every single piece moves smoothly and efficiently. 💡Tech. Integrating technological elements like loyalty systems, POS, CRM, integrated database, analytics, AI, ecommerce, etc 💡People. The right advisors and frontliners. These are your mouthpieces that use tech + processes to enhance the overall convenience and experience for your customers. Think again about your brand and the way you choose to bring to life CONVENIENCE and EXPERIENCE. #MarTech #techdevelopment #customerconvenience #customerexperience #marketing #digitaltransformation #business #branding
