What Is Retail Engagement?

Retail engagement is the interaction between shoppers and a retailer or brand across the buying journey. In physical stores, it includes both visible behaviours and digital actions at the point of purchase.

Retail engagement is broader than in-store engagement. It can include website visits, app use, email response, store visits, QR scans, touchscreen sessions and product research. The challenge is connecting these moments into a useful view of the shopper journey.

In the store, engagement becomes especially important because the shopper is close to the product. A good retail engagement strategy helps them understand, compare and decide without forcing them to leave the retailer journey.

MyPlayer focuses on the in-store part of retail engagement: the moments where brands and retailers can use QR codes, screens, product stories and analytics to support buying decisions and collect useful performance data.

Retail engagement should connect channels rather than treat each touchpoint as a separate campaign.
