Personalizing the Brick & Mortar Shopping Experience

Iap995393

Customers increasingly expect retailers to understand their preferences so they can deliver personalized service. That’s why people love to shop on Amazon; Amazon uses insights about each customer to provide a seamless, personalized experience. Keeping pace is a challenge for every brick and mortar retailer but the same type of technology that powers Amazon can turn physical stores into competitive differentiators. Using big data to personalize shopping will let traditional retailers deliver a next generation in-store experience.
