Why should retailers use Event Management Apps?
Ecommerce was expected to render the brick-and-mortar store obsolete although it’s actually doing the opposite. In a Darwinian world where the modern consumer can buy every product they’ve ever wanted from any retailer on online shopping sites like Amazon and eBay, the brick-and-mortar store is adapting to a changing retail environment.
Evidently, physical stores can’t compete with online stores on the basis of convenience. However, experiential retail–or “retailtainment”–is rising rapidly. Increasingly, retailers are turning their stores into “brand interaction hubs”, where customers can enjoy brand experiences that boost loyalty and boost sales.
It’s easy to see why–events are an incredibly profitable business to be in. 85% of consumers are likely to buy something after an event. Moreover, 91% of consumers have positive feelings about a retailer after attending an event.
Using an Event Booking System is one of the best ways to take advantage of the potential of experiential retail to drive profitability and brand loyalty. With the right event software retailers can drive their omnichannel strategy and reap the rewards from the younger generations who enjoy using retail tech. It’s also the greatest tool retailers can use to ensure their events have a higher turnout rate and that things run efficiently at the event.
What are the use cases for Event Management Software?
There’s a whole range of different events you can host using an Event Management App to boost brand awareness, including:
- Online events, webinars and classes
