As holiday spending heats up in 2023, Eagle Eye CEO Tim Mason shares why this festive season could shape up to be a defining moment for omnichannel strategy in retail. Personalization, unified customer data, and seamless in-store and online experiences will separate winners from laggards.
In conversation with Retail Sector, Mason discusses how retailers like ASDA and Nike are raising the bar with gamification initiatives, real-time offers, and personalized in-store experiences to build loyalty and drive foot traffic.
Mason reflects on the Tesco Clubcard legacy - built nearly thirty years ago—and highlights that today's loyalty platforms require deeper digital-first thinking. He notes that digital campaigns tied to loyalty programs can drive holiday growth at lower cost and higher ROI.
Retailers should prepare by aligning in-store innovation with smart digital tools. Simply layering online over bricks-and-mortar is no longer enough. Consumers expect unified experiences - from mobile offers and loyalty apps to customized in-store journeys that reward repeat engagement.
