Created by retailers, for retailers under the expert guidance of industry advisors… Getting you closer access to inspirational leaders, highlighting the most innovative and impactful stories in retail today and hosting a range of networking opportunities to support meaningful connections.
That’s the elevator pitch from the organisers… and if you’re a retailer it will set you back somewhere in the region of $2500 – depending on the exchange rate. If you are not a retailer, but want to sell to them – then you’re up for $5000 plus…
The Retail Summit 2020 and Ecommerce
According to a press release from the event:
“The UAE has been named as the fastest growing e-commerce market in the Middle East and North Africa. With e-commerce transactions forecast to grow by 23% annually between 2018 and 2022, the future of digital commerce in the region is being driven by the UAE.”
There is no source for this information and given the size of the KSA ecommerce market, but retailers in the GCC are not known for truth in advertising. Line up the bandwagons – here are some other headlines to help sell you…
- Step aside millennials: Connecting with Gen Z and creating a value-driven brand (nevermind the GenXers)
- Blurred lines: Merging the online and offline worlds for a “New Retail” experience (this used to be pitched under the buzzword of Omnichannel)
- Shares, stories and shopping: How to create a social strategy to compliment your brand (It’s 2020 and retailers are still having to be told that they need a social strategy?)
- Giving accurate rewards: Rethinking loyalty for a digital age. (Interesting use of adjective here – accurate? Perhaps relevant would be a better way of thinking about loyalty.)
