Retail marketing is about more than in-store – it embraces the entire Shopper Journey whether in the home, out and about or in the store.

• Retail marketing is about more than in-store – it embraces the entire Shopper Journey whether in the home / out and about / in the store
• Retail marketing targets shoppers and consumers - they are not the same and must be treated differently 
• Retail marketing offers deeper understanding and insight into shopper behaviour than traditional media
• Retail marketing is poorly aligned with competing agendas among retailers / brands / agencies which is holding back the development of the sector
• Retail marketing is about more than just sales promotion/ POS - it covers awareness / preference / purchase / loyalty / advocacy and is as relevant for building brands as driving sales 
• Retail marketing should recognise the value of brands in creating differentiation and experience (vs. retailer clean store policy)

Marketing relationship is often built around the concept of loyalty cards while using tools like website, consumer magazines and printed promotional coupons to capture consumer attention. Although most retailers have developed loyalty cards, today many brands doubt in their efficiency: card owners are less likely to be loyal and animation tools lack of impact to boost the customer's commitment. The ROI ratio is quite low!

Instead, OBAD Mobile Marketing looks to the problem from a different angle by developing the first mobile loyalty card which interacts with consumers 24/24 and 7/7, whatever the carrier and the cell phone. Thus, in a single click, customers can access all services provided in a traditional loyalty card but moreover: check their loyalty points and cash-back account, earn & burn customized promotional coupons, subscribe to consumer coaching schemes … in a real-time.

This session illustrates functions of OBAD’s mobile loyalty card, the most efficient tool for consumer recruitment and loyalty.

• With mature and competitive consumer markets all filled with fit-for-purpose products and services, the new battleground for brand and product success has shifted far more towards the intangible area of emotionality.

•  This presentation draws on data from 4 projects covering dark chocolate, orange juice, beer and high performance cars to explain the Brandphonics principles and concludes that there are indeed more appropriate ways of getting emotional with quantitative research.

Digital is the social glue behind Robinsons Fruit Shoot's latest marketing initiative. Instead of thinking of digital as a 'channel', Britvic have invested in an online platform to build a long-term relationship with people who buy Fruit Shoot.

Rather than focussing on short burst, interruptive digital campaigns targeting shoppers (mums, dads and grandparents), Fruit Shoot have taken a step to communicate with these groups in a new way that delivers value and utility to consumers first, and responds in an agile manner to feedback received from the community. This requires a different way of thinking.

An integrated team from Britvic Soft Drinks (owners of Robinson's Fruit Shoot), Made by Many and BBH will talk about their parenting platform Ready for Ten which uniquely targets parents of 6-9 year olds – those most likely to choose and buy the Fruit Shoot brand -- and creates a valuable utility by bringing them tips, information and conversation from hand-picked mummy bloggers, twitter and the best of the web.
