“We are excited to again be participating in the NRF Annual Convention & EXPO, as it will give us an opportunity to share our insights and best practices in retail technology and strategy,” said Dr. Gary Edwards, Chief Customer Officer at Empathica. “At this year’s event, we want to show how retailers can take their social CEM practices a step further by highlighting not only more effective ways to engage with customers and receive feedback, but also how to utilize that feedback more proactively across locations. The retail customer experience has evolved to a point where social media and mobile tools have contributed to new consumer behaviors and these platforms can be leveraged to move from simply measuring customer satisfaction scores to helping create great experiences.”
