a Key Role in the Future of Retail
Point Roberts, WA,–October 20, 2016 –
Investorideas.com, a global news source and investor resource issues an update
on the luxury brand stock and the role social media plays in branding.
“According to a recent report from UPS, “Social
media is just beginning to come into its own as a driver of retail sales in
much the same way it has emerged the last few years as an effective advertising
vehicle. While initially disappointing marketers and retailers, it has become a
solid platform that influences and facilitates purchases.
Social networks are now aggressively pursuing the
technology interfaces and the agreements with retailers needed to work as a
place to make purchases. Power Shoppers and Millennials are more engaged, as
may be expected, in making social media part of their “always on” retail
experience. “
