In today’s InternetRetailing newsletter we’re looking forward to IRX 2016. The editorial team will be there in force and we’re looking forward to hearing the speakers, catching up on the latest technology and meeting our readers. We have a reminder of some very good reasons to visit in today’s IRX 2016 preview, in which we round up our series of interviews with some key speakers at the event.
Today we also cover the latest multichannel and ecommerce news from retailers including Sainsbury’s and Waitrose, and we have insights into changing customer behaviour, as online sales rose over the first quarter of the year, according to the IMRG, but store footfall dropped, especially on the high street, according to the BRC.
Today’s guest comment comes from Marc Pettican of The Logic Group, who considers why the payment experience is paramount in 2016.
