Georgina Nelson, founder & CEO, TruRating
In this episode, Georgina Nelson, founder and CEO of TruRating, discusses the rise of customer experience as a factor disrupting the retail industry, with host Frank Baia of Globalspeak:
“It’s essential that retailers create a memorable experience for their consumers…it’s not about how many dollars you’re going to make per square foot anymore; it’s more about what kind of unique, exciting experience you can make part of that purchase journey, looking to engage from the moment a consumer begins to touch your brand.”
