The Future of Food Retail

In this post-pandemic era, the food retail industry has changed dramatically. Inflation is at a 40-year high, customer loyalty is harder to earn and maintain, and margins are razor-thin as retailers battle increasing cost pressures. Also, keeping up with consumers’ unique tastes is difficult enough in the best of times but, in today’s marketplace, accurately cataloguing changes in shopper behavior has become a full-time job, especially when it comes to food and diet.

This webinar will provide insights from one of the leading food retail analysts - R.J. Hottovy, Head of Analytical Research at Placer.ai. R.J. will delve in into how retailers can effectively measure and engage shoppers. Once-siloed strategies such as e-Commerce, incentives, audience management, and media must be united and consistent in order to secure shoppers’ loyalty. To help brands and retailers prepare for what’s ahead, watch “The Future of Food Retail," presented by Placer.ai and The Food Institute.

This deep dive into the food retailing industry will:

• Provide the latest data and forecasts on foot traffic across various retailing channels (e.g., grocery, restaurants, dollar stores, C-stores).
