17. Wearables
• Businesses
will
be
able
to
rapidly
update
consumers
on
price
changes,
promoGons,
etc.,
while
marketers
will
have
a
whole
new
method
of
catching
their
aVenGon,
a
way
that
only
stops
when
a
person
is
asleep.
• Wearable
tech
is
on
the
rise.
– Cisco
esGmates
that
there
were
21.7
million
wearable
devices
in
2013.
In
five
years,
that
number
is
expected
to
rise
to
176.9

only

interacted
with

online,
regardless

channel.
I

breakthrough
in
social

support.
More

21. Driving
Loyalty
• One
of
the
big
challenges
in
retail
is
turning
a
one-‐Gme
shopper
into
a
loyal
customer.
• 6
million
people
use
Shopkick,
which
makes
it
the
most-‐used
shopping
app.
– Users
get
points
(called
kicks)
for
entering
a
store
and
further
kicks
for
scanning
items
and
purchasing.
• Retailers
have
to
be
more
innovaGve
in
implemenGng
their
loyalty
efforts:
– early
access
to
products
or
services,
– unexpected
rewards,
– tailored
perks.

Buyers
of
b2c
will
always
want
lower
prices.
The
same
is
not
true
with
b2b
where
you
are
selling
to
someone
who
is
spending
someone
else’s
money.
In
this
case,
it’s
about
making
their
personal
experience
beaer.
If
a
buyer
is
going
to
personally
receive
an
iPad
aqer
spending
$5000
of
the
their
employers
money,
they
won’t
mind
paying
10-‐15%
higher
on
prices.
They
can
even
jus;fy
this
price
increase
if
we
are
saving
them
;me
during
the
purchase
process.

to
put
