As every retail knows, the customer experience is key to growth. Great prices and products are no longer the differentiator when it comes to return customers. Instead, today’s enlightened buyer seeks a memorable, unique shopping experience that keeps them coming back for more. Speakers from Dick’s Sporting Goods, January Digital, and Sitecore spoke to the importance of customer experience and the role digital technology plays.

One way retailers can improve their customer experience is to embrace personalization, both in content and in acquisition. Consumers have different preferences when it comes to language and channels, and for retailers to be successful, they must leverage digital tools to meet their customer on their domain.

Love hearing from @rothys growth rockstar about how they fuel word of mouth via channels including podcasts, radio, and all things “share of ear” #NRFNXT pic.twitter.com/Lu00xd2p1c

You should have been at #nrfnxt. But a few highlights if you weren’t… Co-create your offer or brand with the customer. Don’t just ask what they want, WATCH what they do. (Apply Design Thinking.) pic.twitter.com/VwwVNJ5NY3
