Instagram vs Reality: What Retail Innovation Means for Fashion Brands

It’s Strategy Saturday at The Assembly on the 13th of June with Internationally recognised Innovator and Strategist, Bijou Abiola in ‘Instagram vs Reality: What Retail Innovation Means for Fashion Brands’.

As a creative entrepreneur, have you ever wondered how the most influential brands seem to be everywhere, have an uncanny knowledge of customer’s needs and come up with products that are wildly bought and loved?            

Successful direct-to-consumer brands in every industry including fashion dominate the market by constantly improving customer experience. They leverage data and tech to offer tangible value and convenience to their customers.

In this class, Bijou will demystify retail innovation and show you how to leverage data to drive innovation, sales, growth and competitive advantage for your brand. 

You can look forward to learning the following at the class:

• What retail innovation is
• How to leverage data and turn insights into strategic action
• How to develop a brand owned strategy from Instagram to a brand owned website
• How to use data to predict trends and market to your customers better
• What digital tools to focus on and use for your fashion brand
