Content Strategist | Retail Strategist | Author | Fashion Editor | Bringing content strategy to fashion, luxury, and the experience economy
Is #art the future of #retail #experiences? I have all the feelings about this, as a content strategist and former academic who wrote an entire book about the intersections between poetry and music and their perceived effects on the human imagination. This is a really thought-provoking piece by Doug Stephens for The Business of Fashion. I say yes to more #art but maybe not less science but a balanced approach with more contextualized technology focusing on building meaningful human experiences. Not to sound like a broken record, but #brandstorytelling in #retail doesn't work without a solid vision-centric strategy (preferably a #contentstrategy framework and roadmap) to empower brand stories and vision into significant, memorable experiences across platforms. This is what so many fashion and luxury brands miss when they attempt to do narrative marketing. It's not enough to throw a celebrity into a fashion film with half a story and have that promote a product. Consumers want and expect a more personalized, immersive approach from every part of the retail experience, as Doug writes. I cannot ignore the artistic side of #fashiontech, as #digitalfashion creatives offer so many beautiful ideas for the future of fashion and a more #sustainable one at that. I feel strongly that technology and art in tandem will provide solutions to fashion's overconsumption problem, such as through more targeted product modeling and inventory forecasting or through encouraging people to buy less and to be smarter shoppers. #fashion #luxury #retailinnovation #retailstrategy #luxurystrategy #fashionstrategy #strategy #retailtech #fashionmarketing #marketing #innovation #futureoffashion #sustainability #sustainablefashion #xr #ai

Get the point Doug that retail purchases (and most purchases frankly) are largely emotionally based, so taking a more artistic approach to retail marketing / selling should translate to more brand sales. As opposed to treating consumers only as an entry in cell A2 on an excel spreadsheet. However like most things the path forward is not a binary choice of Technology versus Artistic approach. More #science is arguably and actually needed in the retail industry, and apparel especially, to tackle 2 large problems today. (1) Ballooning inventories due to more supply / demand disconnect and (2) Large amounts of waste generated from single / low use fashion purchases as an example that unfortunately end up in too many landfills. We need better, more era appropriate algorithms to understand and utilize true demand signals, and pull supply to match current demand. And hence reduce waste associated with pushing inventory / product to consumers that is not needed. Long product development and production cycles exacerbate this problem. We also need science to help us develop more circular economy approaches that minimize waste and CO2 emissions associated with the industry. The worst thing for the planet would be to generate higher sales / polluting economic activity only. We have to find solutions to solve the waste problem and science / technology has a key role to play here. #technologysolutions #technologyleadership #supplychainsolutions #supplychainmanagement #sustainability #sustainablefashion
