All retailers aim to make loyal shoppers out of new customers. But what attracts consumers to your brand and keeps them coming back until they’re loyal? The sweet spot in retail marketing is finding those moments that shoppers are most open to influence in it.

In the age of the digital consumer, finding those moments and responding effectively is increasingly complex and requires a shift from the traditional “sales funnel” model. Before purchasing from a retailer for the first time, consumers need to be convinced that the products are worthy of their money.

This is especially true for retailers in industries with more expensive products like luxury clothing and accessories, home furnishings or electronics versus grocery or discount products.
