In this interview with Loyalty Magazine, Tim Mason, Eagle Eye CEO and co-author of Omnichannel Retail – How to Build Winning Stores in a Digital World, talks about the second edition of this award-winning retail business guide and what retailers need to know to compete in today’s fast-paced retail landscape.
Tim discusses the dichotomy between retail loyalty programs using AI-driven personalization and those without.
