Scottish Local Retailer brings you a day that will change the way you see your business forever.
The UK convenience sector is nearing a tipping point. It’s time to start preparing for a brave new world where the old rules no longer apply. Let’s create the new rules ourselves!
An all day / all night event to inspire retailers to dream big and create the future themselves.
Built around four cornerstones:
ThinkInsight
Everyone uses data and insight these days… except the convenience sector. When the business that can make best, simplest and quickest use of insight is… the convenience sector. Let’s show them how!
ThinkTech
Technology is the great enabler. It lets retailers do things better, more easily, more accurately and quicker…but convenience is usually slowest to adopt it. Let’s speed things up!
ThinkCloser
Nobody knows their customers like convenience retailers – they have loyalty that others can only dream of …but what do they do with that relationship? Not much. Let’s help them get closer!
ThinkDifferent
The world is changing – so is it time for convenience retail to completely reinvent itself? Let’s help them dream big!
