Editor’s Comment: The great outdoors

There’s no denying that the sun brings people out. Admittedly, that is hard to imagine right now with this seemingly endless Winter/Spring period we’re having!

But eventually the weather will cheer up and fashions will change as people spend more time out and about enjoying the Summer sun. So what better time for footwear retailers to entice customers instore to browse the latest collections of sandals, flip flops, wedges and other seasonal attire.

This month’s Editor’s Choice feature may help – the theme is comfort, and we’re bringing you a huge selection of men’s and ladies’ styles all centred around comfortable footbeds, light and soft materials, slip-on features and foot support. And there are some bright Summer designs in there too!

It’s that time of year when people are planning holidays and minibreaks and many will be thinking ahead to their outfit choices, so your customers need a reason to pay you a visit – they need a temping reminder to consider upgrading their wardrobe ready for the season ahead.

Your shop windows will be the biggest draw for those walking past, but what about reaching people via digital platforms? Consumers view multiple digital touch points and are influenced by so much information online these days, so how can you ensure you are putting your best digital foot forward?

In this issue Emma Louise Smith looks at what digital marketing tools, insights and resources will best help you monitor your digital campaign/content effectiveness to help improve customer retention, and to also entice new customers to shop.

I hope you enjoy reading this latest edition. Don’t forget you can always send me your news, my details are below.
