Heretics challenge the way we think, but often they weren’t really heretics…just ahead of their time.

The Connected Consumer has Killed the Shopper

Our shopping lists have gone digital, but our behavior still lives with a foot in both the “virtual” and “real” worlds.

When it comes to buying, there is no singular Moment of Truth.

#epfft

It’s a complex, multi-layered and non-linear web of interactions along the path to purchase.

The purpose of marketing communications is not to sell goods and services – it’s to minimize buying and consumption friction.

Today’s shopper marketing objective: frictionless transactions in communication and experiences. Because even typing a password is TOO MUCH WORK!

EXPERIENCES

Success involves creating transformational experiences for our Connected Consumers.

So how do we appeal to this connected consumer and create these transformational experiences?

One way is to create new shopping opportunities, occasions and path-to-purchase intersects.

Brands are also continually removing friction from the journey – from trial to repeat customers – with “One-click,”™ auto-replenish & same day delivery.

Food For ThoughtFood For Thought is Erwin Penland's thought leadership platform.  

It began six years ago with a three-day annual symposium celebrating the intersection of food, creative thinking, entrepreneurialism and social responsibility through events, discussions and of course, dining.  

The fully experiential gathering is crafted to inspire dialogue and debate among prominent entrepreneurs, business leaders and creative thinkers from around the country—showcasing how creativity is paramount to success in every organization, and in fact, in life.  

The platform itself has been extended into quarterly client sessions, internal agency training programs, research and marketing trend presentations.
