Survey results: Tech is not the key to improved shopping
The biggest eye-opener to me was the following:
"Almost all (98 percent) retail executives think that engaging with customers on social media is important to building stronger relationships with them. Only 12 percent of consumers think it has a significant impact on the way they think or feel about a brand."
Count me as part of that 88%. I have zero desire to "follow" or "like" a brand on social media and even less to have them constantly sending me information via social media.

It is a proof how far "retail executives" are from reality.
It is very annoying when you step in the dept store and a leech attaches himself/herself to you wanting to know how to help?
I always know what I want and where to get it. I like browsing and don't want to be pushed into something I don't want.
Despite all the tech help these "executives" are living in their own fantasy world.
