The apparel and footwear industry is constantly evolving. Join this webinar to learn about future trends and opportunities for gains in market share.
Audience: Open industry. All apparel and footwear industry professionals, regardless of AAFA membership, are encouraged to participate.

Description:

The only thing we can consistently predict about the future is that it will be different and the apparel and footwear industry is not immune to this uncertainty. As market conditions continually evolve and change it is essential for brands to position themselves for success. Savvy business flexibility coupled with technical agility equips apparel companies to both react and lead these changing market conditions. 

In this webinar we will:
  • Examine some of the key emerging business challenges threatening brands, including the prospect of trade wars, IT hacks, Gen Z demographics, emerging CRM privacy legislation, and the so-called Retail Apocalypse. 
  • Explore the underlying opportunities presented by these challenges, around supply chain agility, platform security, new approaches to marketing and reinventing the retail store.
  • Highlight approaches and strategies to exploit these opportunities for gains in market share and profit. Scrutiny will be focused on real time data, cost and financial impact analysis, procurement dexterity, platform security and compliance as well as flexibility within multi-channel operations and changing marketing compliance in our brave new world.
