Vinculum’s agenda at eTail Asia 2019
Vinculum at eTail Asia will help brands uncover the business opportunities in cross border e-commerce.
Customers today are shopping across multiple sales channels and devices. Many nimble brands are using powerful digital marketing and collaboration with online channels to make a name for themselves. Some of the brands are also successfully tapping into selling cross-border.
This has presented larger brands with a challenge of retaining customer loyalty while countering increased competition and price/profitability pressures.
The situation presents a fantastic opportunity for some of the brands to be present where customers shop, use modern tools and technologies to increase their customer base, engage better and to dominate the omnichannel market.
