Kilkenny
The high street has taken a bit of a beating over the last few years. Footfall has been down on our high streets and shopping centres.
If the high street retail is to survive, it needs to adapt – fast. Customers are turning to online retail for its speed and simplicity, convenience is now beating loyalty. Retailers must add value to the shopping experience to stop customers buying only online.
Not only can retail-tech make the instore shopping experience as slick and seamless as online, it can also deliver a tangible experience that simply cannot be recreated online. Retail-tech can allow customers to enjoy the best of both worlds while stepping up customer choice and service to boot.
For this month, Tech Thursday Kilkenny we will be exploring these issues with
Justin Kearns, Co-Founder Tucr.io - Simplifying how shoppers reserve items/services.
and
Gillean Guy, eStreet.ie Ludgate, Skibbereen - A collaborative eCommerce model for retailers.
The event is FREE but limited booking, on the night Sullivans Tap Room will be providing an offer of a "pint and a pizza" for €10.
