Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynote Speaker, e-commerce

Future of food industry and retail sector – articles, videos and keynotes on the future of the food and retail industry. Food is an emotional business – just think of a mother’s anxieties when there is yet another scare about contamination of baby food.  The same applies to drinks. So if we want to understand the future of food and beverages, we need to understand how consumer emotions are changing. Leaders of food and drink companies need to be sharply focused on rapid changes in public mood, perception and values, with uncompromising commitment to quality and value. Brand reputation is earned in a lifetime and lost in a day. Food brands have proved remarkably enduring because food enables us to recapture early childhood memories.

Future of Retail Industry - focus on retail sector in Latin America, smartphone sales, rapid growth of e-Commerce. Why Big Data matters in retail yet greatest value often in Little Data. Future of Retail Keynote Speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Retail Keynote Speaker, e-commerce

Future retail trends in Latin America: 70 million people are already online in Mexico (58% of adults), 88 million in Brazil (46%), 28 million in Argentina (67%), 10 million in Chile (59%) and 10 million in Peru (34%).

While it is true that in these nations, most consumers are still very uncomfortable about buying online, that is changing fast. Compare with the UK where 33% of some groups of people have stopped watching conventional TV because they only watch TV online, and where 12% of all retail is now online shopping, of which over 50% of purchases are using a mobile device. 

Post written in 2014 - very accurate.
