Winning the heart of your shoppers through an integrated shopper marketing strategy.
Shopper marketing aims to transform your “walk-in” customers into your purchasers.
Customer’s behaviour has been constantly “switching”. Therefore it is important that retailers and brands identify the shopper touch points and align the messages direct to the shoppers. In the current demanding market, customers are increasingly seeking for value-added products. As such, it has now become important to implement an integrated shopper marketing.
The goal of shopper marketing is to provide shoppers with a more satisfying experience.
Identifying the needs, behaviour and the decision making process of shoppers will effectively build a strong customer rapport and a lasting business relationship. Research has indicated, 70% of purchase decisions being made in store, and 68% of them being impulsive. Hence, retailers and manufacturers both must seek to maximise profitability and increase customer loyalty to guarantee repeat business.
This two days Shopper Marketing forum is specially customised to help you capture your shopper’s minds, hearts and wallet. This forum highlights on turning your walk-in customer into your purchasers, and discussing on how experiential marketing would enhance your shopper’s experience. Delegates will gain more insights with a deep understanding of shopper’s psychology which greatly increase sales revenue. This forum sets a platform for retailers to create concrete marketing ideas, but also tools and techniques to increase the shopper’s experience.

The debt crisis is at its peak and as
non-performing loans are expected to increase, the GCC financial sector
will be subjected to a stress test once again. As institutions aim to
restore their credit ratings, augmenting transparency efforts and
liquidity management will be at the top of the executive agenda. While
policy makers agree that financial supervision and regulation practices
in the Gulf are of world standard, their focus remains on carefully
balancing control of inflationary pressures with paced growth, in order
to cater to the region`s most pressing infrastructure and economic
needs.
With
another squeeze on loan availability, oil prices far from desired highs
and real estate transactions slowing down, institutional investors in
the Middle East have to source investment returns carefully through
examining sparse opportunities both locally and internationally.
Partnering with far-sighted fund managers will be crucial to driving
portfolio performance and securing prudent financial investments.
The Middle East
Investments Summit 2010 offers a unique format for sponsors

networking activities. In addition, sponsors will attend the strategic
summit sessions led by the thought leaders in the alternative
investment industry. Within the luxurious settings of the Park Hyatt
Dubai, this networking event presents a unique opportunity to develop
meaningful and valuable business relations.
Revolutionising organisation s pay and rewards strategy to continuously engage and manage employee s performance
With the
weakening of the economy in the past year, it is evident that most
organisation’s goals and initiatives were not met, or put to a halt.
Cutbacks
on capital expenditures resulted to a loss of manpower that further
undermines
the company’s full potential to succeed. The success of any organisation
boils
down to having a team of committed and dedicated workforce. Salaries and
benefits were not as lucrative as they once were but as the economy is
picking
up from where it left off, the notion of compensation and benefits gets a
whole
new focus.
In this
new-normal economy, it is in the interest of every senior management to
be able
to successfully retain their competent employees while simultaneously
attract
and recruit the top talents in the region. As such, this 2nd
Annual Compensation and Benefits forum sets the platform for
industry
players to gather and discuss the trends and developments of such
incentive
plans that seek to continuously motivate and enhance employee’s
performance.
Undoubtedly, having an effective compensation and benefits scheme in
place not
only affects the company’s finances as a whole, but positively impacts
the
company’s vision and mission.
The Human
Resource department now has an intrinsic value whereby they are vital to
an
organisation’s growing success. This 2-day forum features a half-day
workshop
that focuses on auditing the HR department as they administer the
compensation
and benefits program. Delegates at this forum would also be exposed to
the
highly debatable subjects related to balancing the local and expatriate
manpower and retaining strategies for the Gen-Y candidates.
Featuring
an array of experienced speakers, delegates can expect a variety of
strategies
that can help them to remain competitive in the market while maintaining
a
balanced compensation and benefits structure.
