Last week I had the pleasure of hosting a fireside chat with James Domensino from SPELL at #RetailFest in the Gold Coast. We discussed how to grow your retail business globally 📈   Key takeaways: ·      💰Get your pricing right! Once you launch in a new market it’s very challenging to adjust this ·      🙌 Lean on local expertise, ideally on the ground, to understand the market prior to launch ·      ⛩️ Be aware of cultural differences and local holidays when planning a promo schedule ·      📊 Use localised benchmarks to guide your success metrics as performance will vary vastly ·      🤝  Lean on your media partners for learnings from similar brands who have done this   Thank you James and retail fest for the opportunity! If you would like to discuss how you can grow your online store globally, please get in touch. #heyadroll #RetailFestGoldCoast #RetailFest #GrowWithRetailFest #digitalmarketing #retailrevolution #MarketingMastery #MarketingInnovation #MarketingAutomation

The NRF Big Show, a retail technology event that attracted over 40,000 attendees this year. With over 1,000 tech vendors present, they are competing to catch the attention of retail executives and win new business. The vendors at the NRF Big Show showcased a wide range of technologies. Some of the technologies demonstrated include: 💭 Automated drive-through systems 💭Just Walk Out technology (such as Amazon's) 💭Facial recognition technology 💭Point-of-sale systems 💭AI analytics tools for physical retailers 💭B-to-B pizza distribution technology These are just a few examples of the technologies that were showcased at the event. The goal of these demonstrations was to show attendees how these technologies could be applied in the real world of retail. However, it is important to note that not all of these demonstrations perfectly replicate real-life environments. #nrf2024 #retailinnovation #retailtech #ai https://lnkd.in/gAyXUUwN

Why do events charge vendors? Because they’re doing it wrong. Hey LinkedIn Connections, Soliciting vendors for events that’s not 100% shopping, signals that the funding or event model went wrong. Or event not yet evolved from a failing practice. Perhaps event not properly budgeted or sponsored. Events should have sponsors. While adding vendors is a quick bandaid to budgetary shortfalls, there still exists a sore spot. Everybody will feel it later. Even vendor events that are 100% shopping 🛍️ can improve their model and lesson vendor remorse. How? By turning event into a popup shop store with singular checkout. Customers leave with one transaction instead of ten or more (if that). At these events, vendors serve as volunteers in the shop, a less intimidating role which is more attractive to shoppers. Shoppers shop at their leisure taking items to one or more checkout points. Take time to plan or plan to fail. Time to evolve. End vendor remorse. And vendors look around. These events are here and growing. No more vendor remorse. Oh wait, how does the event make money, they subscribe to Creator Insights.

I felt alive again! 🙏 Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the #Whalies DTC conference in New York - an event I'm calling the "greatest Kiddush on earth!" 🥖 As a "connector", schmoozer, relationship-driven person, I was truly in my element. Throughout the day-long event for e-commerce brands and industry leaders, I was able to do what I love most - bringing together people I know and trust to help them unlock even greater possibilities. As someone facing new beginnings again -- the #Bounce expertise in full display 😉 -- it was the first time in a long while that I truly felt like myself again. For my journey, I chose to rent a car instead of the standard train + hotel. Why? It gave me the freedom to make spontaneous stops - grabbing coffee in Philadelphia, playing ping pong in Jackson, and enjoying falafel on the Upper West Side. These little "mini-moments" of genuine connection and community are what fill my cup. Day of the event I learned, I schmoozed, I connected. When 1+1=5, then making sure clients, friends, and others connect will absolutely further their own goals. The best part of the day? The Whalies team ensured the food was not only delicious, but kosher - a rarity at industry events. 🍔 (thanks Moe Mernick & Maxx Blank) When we actually spend quality time with people face-to-face (rather than just over Zoom or email), something magical happens. We get to see facial expressions, share personal stories, and share a few laughs. These authentic interactions are the bedrock of lasting, trust-based relationships. The real long-term win in all this "connecting" is that the more people you know and trust - and who trust you in return - the more you can recognize patterns and moments to bring them together for even greater things. 💫 So, if there's one key takeaway, it's this: seek out those special "mini-moments" to truly be yourself and nurture your most important relationships. You never know what doors they might open. #conference #founder #dtc #shopify #reconnect #relationships #ecommerce #newyork

Stealing from Ben Miller, IT'S SHOWTIME 📺!! I have the honour of presenting at Groceryshop Vegas on October 5th on the topic of 'what do intelligent organizations do to succeed in digital commerce?'. When we committed to sharing previously unseen research and intelligence into what true success in digital commerce means, we had started the process of creating something new, in collaboration with others, for the retail industry, so the timing was perfect. As if the team wasn't busy enough on this collaboration, we also took on a re-branding exercise, and a transformation of our website - all to be unveiled next week. If you are attending GroceryShop, join our session at the Blueberry Stage at 2:55pm on October 5th. Gregor Murray, Laura Cullen and I have plenty of meetings scheduled with customers, partners, and investors. Don't hesitate to send me a message, and we'll try to find time to meet. Safe travels to those travelling from far afield. Ironically, Aer Lingus's inaugural direct flight from Dublin to Vegas is scheduled for October 25th - just too late for those of us travelling from Ireland - not such good timing, but I get to stop off in LA for some refreshments:) #newstuff #ecommerce #digitalcommerce #intelligence #benchmarking #retail #cpg #fmcg

Congratulations Direct 60 List honoree Chris Zahner, SVP, Head of Digital & Ecommerce Technology, Signet Jewelers! The Direct 60 List honors top executives mastering the business of brands. Leveraging technology, innovation, and next-generation strategies, these leaders drive growth and position their brands for success in a consumer-centric, data-driven world. You can see the full Direct 60 List here:  https://lnkd.in/gyJxNYFa Chris told us, "Technology capabilities have become quite sophisticated. As things have moved more composable, there's a lot more plug and play ability across the board. Being able to swap out and put in a new order management system, being able to onboard a new CDP and connect it to paid media, Web, SMS, email and build these sophisticated marketing journeys has all become a lot easier. However, one of the things that just excites me about my job is the technology is constantly changing, and typically it's going faster and faster. There's over a dozen gen AI pilots that we've got going on. Some we expect will have massive disruptive impacts on the company. Others will flame out. There's still a lot more to come." Meet The Direct 60 List Honorees in person at The Direct 60 Forum on October 10th in New York City! More than a gala and less than a conference, this one-of-a-kind event features thoughtful peer discussions, elegant tasting experiences, inspiring acceptance speeches, red carpet moments, incredible giveaways (five star hotels!), curated receptions and VIP dinners - there are few evenings that can match The Direct 60 Forum.
