The 2023 Consumer Trends Index surveyed 10,000 global consumers to understand exactly what they demand of their favorite brands. The results reveal exactly how brands can grow better relationships with consumers via advertising, email and SMS channels, through a value exchange, by collecting zero-party data as well as via loyalty programs. Join us as we highlight some of the most important stats to help you bolster your relationship marketing strategy and hear how brands such as Starbucks, American Airlines and HGTV are succeeding in building deeper connections with their total addressable audience.

Speaker

III. Maintaining Brand Strength with an Ever-Changing Consumer Base (11:20am - 12:00pm) | IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL

In certain industries, including the baby gear industry, the timeline of when consumers are actively using the product/service is limited to only a few months or years. This poses a unique challenge for marketers to build strong, lucrative relationships with consumers during that limited time frame, and build a strong enough bond that those consumers will become advocates. Even for products and services with short timelines for usage, relationship marketing is an important tool. BabyBjörn will share insights and techniques practiced and honed over the years which have helped make it the top of mind brand in its space and one of the baby products most recommended by parents to parents

Speaker
Colleen Gibson, Marketing Director - BabyBjörn North America
