OK, so it doesn't look quite like Vienna, but I have tried to brighten up a dark, grey and wet afternoon by putting up the Christmas lights on the house #christmas2022 #wien #Lights
Powerful keynote from @icelandrichard of @IcelandFoods to conclude. Chair summarising key points from today as: 1 tech as customer's servant 2 customers like going to shops 3 look after your staff 4 ignore sustainability at your peril #ftretail #dacb #beauty #fashion

Speed and convenience have been key for @BandQ. Virtually everyone in UK lives within 20 minutes of a B&Q store, so the customer can enjoy the in-store experience and use the store as an online collection point. Customer choice is key. #dacb #fashion #beauty #Retail #ftretail
Sustainability can take many forms, and contribute to business efficiencies as well. @astridandmiyu has changed its packaging size, to fit better through letterboxes, revolutionising its supply chain. #ftretail #fashion #beauty #dacb

Fascinating discussion about renting clothing. Why buy an expensive item when you could rent it? And, asks a designer, should I get a royalty? Worlds away now from stereotype of one-off dress rentals. An area to watch closely. #dacb #ftretail #fashion #hurr #beauty

An insightful discussion about autonomous stores and the frictionless sales experience. For some, such speed and ease is the holy grail. For the retailer, great data gained. For others, though, the social aspect of the shopping trip is critical. #ftretail #fashion #dacb #beauty
Some fascinating insights into discount codes. How loyal are customers, will they stay without codes? For Getir, data suggest customers see value, so will. And codes can be helpful in persuading customers to upscale their orders as well. #ftretail #dacb #fashion #beauty #getir

Speaker from Getir raises an interesting point: what will consumers cut back on in an inflationary environment, and to what extent can price and margins be maintained by retailers nonetheless depending on where they sit in the retail spectrum? #ftretail #dacb #fashion #beauty

A question from the floor: should we treat plastic like tobacco, and put warnings on packaging about the dangers of virgin plastic, where it is used? #ftretail #dacb #fashion #beauty #recycling

Speaker talking about importance of monitoring social media for customer feedback. This resulted in one case in a subtle change to a shade of red lipstick, with significant positive impact on sales #ftretail #dacb #fashion #beauty
Fascinating presentation on behalf of Levi Strauss addressing digital transformation and the retention of talent. The famous 501 jeans will be 150 years old next year. Key for Levi Strauss has been doing, not just saying. #fashion #beauty #dacb #ftretail
