Topics Discussed in »Handelskraft 2022 – Digital Champions«

Trend #1: Marketing Mix of the Future

The Extended Marketing Mix Encompasses All Tools That Are Designed to Achieve Marketing Goals

How have the seven Ps of marketing changed under the influence of everywhere commerce, corporate influencers and fair pricing? And how can physical experience worlds that shape brands be transferred to the digital realm?

 

How Does Digitalisation Affect

  • product?
  • price?
  • place?
  • promotion?
  • people?
  • process?
  • physical evidence?

 

It Is a Fact That

90 %

of B2B customers

primarily use digital channels for communication.

Before the pandemic, it was only 38%.

Trend #2: Becoming a Love Brand

What Method Do You Use to Build Brand Loyalty?

  • Sonic branding
  • Live stream shopping
  • Voice commerce
  • The print renaissance

 

Brand Loyalty Is No Longer a Question of Business Model

With the renaissance of print and audio branding, but also trends such as live stream shopping and voice commerce, companies are turning customers into loyal fans. Successful brands are brands that can be experienced – with all senses and without overwhelming users!

 

Good to Know:

40 %

of people over the age of 14

use audio streaming services.

Trend #3: Data Is Our Friend

On Average, Companies Grow By

30 %

per year when they rely on data-driven insights.

 

Successful Companies Take the Fear out of Data and Make It Part of Their Organisational Culture

Before companies can use new technologies and approaches to data analysis, they must lay a crucial foundation: a company-wide data culture. This promotes collaboration across teams and drives knowledge democratisation by eliminating gatekeepers.

 

Working Together in a Data-Driven Way Is What Leads to the Successful Use of Tools Such As

  • data fabric
  • natural language processing
  • customer and data management platforms
  • business intelligence

 

Trend #4: Hybrid Retail

Let Us Say Goodbye to Sentences Like

  • »You can only get really good service in retail stores.«
  • »Products are only sent to your home if you buy them online.«
  • »Only geeks make contactless payments with their smartphone.«

 

The E in E-Commerce Is Becoming Redundant

All that used to be true, but not anymore. Customers are channel hoppers. Both the digitalisation of the stationary point of sale (POS) and the transfer of analogue services to online shops are simply expected by customers these days. However, there is more to successful hybrid retail than mobile payment in retail stores or digital shopping assistants online.

 

By the Way:

90 %

of B2B product sales

are generated through personalised services.

Trend #5: Sustainable Business Models

Sustainability Has Become a Purchasing Criterion for

80 %

of consumers worldwide.

Trend #6: IT Is a Business Matter

unexpected crises in society as a whole, changing customer expectations or new internal requirements. Besides the provision of a modern IT infrastructure, this requires a mutual understanding of tech and business.
