In today’s InternetRetailing newsletter, we’re taking a hands-on approach to ecommerce and multichannel retailing. Today’s IRX 2017 preview shows how retailers can fix any gaps in their knowledge at the workshops and clinics that are to be held at next week’s event.
We’re also considering what practical steps businesses can take in order to improve their customers’ experience, and we have analysis of how DFS is developing its multichannel strategy. There’s more practical advice and examples of how UK traders are tackling brand engagement in the latest IRUK Top500 report.
We also look at the retail and technology industry response to this week’s triggering of Article 50, the latest step in the UK’s journey out of the EU, while today’s guest comment comes from Ido Pandani of Quidco, who considers why personalisation might be best when it’s a little less personal.
