Description:
In 2011, manufacturers and retailers continued to struggle with private label and private brand in the current economy, and many looked to collaboration as a means of bringing back old customers, increasing the loyalty of new customers and better serving all of their customers. This year, consumer sentiment is a much-discussed topic. Are consumers ready and willing to shop? One month the answer seems to be "yes" and the next "maybe not".
On March 13, 2012, a panel of experts will discuss key findings from the 2011 Shared Strategy Report -- conducted by CGT, RIS News, IDC Retail Insights and IDC Manufacturing Insights. Manufacturers and retailers are increasingly sensitive to what consumers want, need, and most importantly, value. Although consumer-focused collaboration has always existed on some level, it's on the rise. Of course, collaboration that increases efficiency in the retail store and the overall supply chain will never go out of style. Other topics of discussion include:
- Profitable Proximity Sourcing
- Supply Chain Segmentation
- Operational Efficiency
- Organic Collaboration
- Reaching the Consumer
- The Pricing Challenge
Join this lively discussion to take a look at how companies are driving collaboration and where they stand today!
