Experience a preview of the future of shopping in our captivating workshop. Imagine: A world where shopping is not just a necessity, but an exciting experience. But before we unveil this vision, let’s take a critical look at the current state of e-commerce in the West. Why is it stagnating? What is it missing to really excite consumers?
In this workshop, we will get to the bottom of these questions and explore why a rethink of the digital shopping experience is urgently needed. We ask ourselves: What could the future of shopping look like? Why is it necessary to rethink shopping and digital?
We then turn our gaze to the East, to China, where a digital revolution is taking place that has fundamentally changed the way we shop. China’s digital ecosystem offers fascinating insights and inspiration for innovations that go far beyond what we know in the West.
At the centre of our discussion is the concept of ‘shopatainment’. A buzzword that we want to explore and embed in our minds. How is shopping in China being transformed into a mixture of pleasure, experience and entertainment? And what can we learn from this to reshape shopping worldwide?
Join us on this exciting journey into the future of shopping, where we will discover new perspectives and redefine the boundaries of digital commerce. Let’s conquer the world of ‘shopatainment’ together and shape the future of shopping.
