MarTech+: Making discovery intuitive and seamless
Dear Reader,
Discovery is being reimagined in exciting new ways.
In a world where people binge content 24/7, users don't want their next fashion purchase marketed to them – they want to serendipitously stumble upon it. Whether it's a bag you didn't know you needed or an accessory you never thought to look for, modern discovery is equal parts entertainment and inspiration.
This week, we dive into how platforms are reinventing the path from 'that looks interesting' to 'add to cart', plus a glossary refresher and an expert perspective on the evolving loyalty landscape.
