IDDBA’s ‘What’s in Store?’ report to be available online.
IDDBA’s new report looks at how grocery operators can use tech to add value.
In 2018, 56% of grocery operators had a fully integrated omnichannel strategy in use for in-store, online, and digital channels. More than 30% were just getting started and 12% did not have plans.
IDDBA too has integrated a more diverse delivery of What’s in Store, which will be available ONLINE, in January. It’s also leveraging platforms just as experts interviewed for What’s in Store 2019 suggested grocery retailers should use tech platforms to offer:
- How-to videos
- Social media posts focusing on building a meal using deli components
- In-store spotlights on local producers with tasting events, etc.
- Daily food demos videos
- Meal planning tools
- Mobile recipes
