IRI’s Thom Blischok Provides Outlook on Next Generation Shopper Engineering Strategies to European Retailers at Brand Loyalty Congress


WHO:

Thom Blischok – President, Shopper Marketing and Innovation, Information Resources, Inc.

   

WHAT:

Today’s retailers need to take advantage of the wealth of insights and data they have at their disposal in order to get up close and personal with their customers, develop successful in-store strategies and inspire long-term shopper loyalty. In his keynote presentation, “Getting the Most From Your Data: Analyzing Loyalty,” Thom Blischok, an industry thought leader in the CPG retail and manufacturing industry, will share in-depth next generation shopper engineering strategies to help retailers maximize their customer data and build solid loyalty relationships with their most important shoppers.

   

WHY:

The global economic downturn has influenced the emergence of a whole new type of consumer—one that is constantly watching their dime, developing new shopping habits to save money and looking for retailers to assist them in getting the most bang for their buck. Retailers have an opportunity to build shopper loyalty by providing their customers with what they want and need. To do this, retailers must be armed with the knowledge, tools and methods to better understand their most loyal customers, as well as identify new ones. In this detailed presentation, Blischok will highlight specific ways in which retailers can grow their business, keep their customers coming back and learn to understand shopper’s needs even deeper than before. Blischok’s presentation will also address the following critical questions:

  • How do you effectively segment your best customers?
  • Is your brand on track to drive the customer relationship forward?
  • Do you really know what your customers need and want?

   

WHEN:

Oct. 16, 2009, 11:20 a.m. – 12:20 p.m. (local time)

   

WHERE:

"Clearly, today the shopper is in control, and the manufactures must understand that from a shopper’s perspective pricing is more important than ever.  The ones that are not in tune with this, or not willing to adapt, will lose marketshare."
Joe Depinto, President and CEO 7-Eleven Inc.
