A Moment with Momentum Instore
SCIENCE FICTION OR RETAIL FACT? by Tim Ellis
I doubt very much that there’s one retailer or brand in the UK at the moment who is not either currently taking advantage of the benefits offered by new retail technology or considering doing so.
With the pace of change however many retailers are struggling to keep up with new technology. There are so many options available that it is difficult to know which will truly make a difference to the bottom line. Yes an app might bring you into the 21st century but is it appropriate for your target audience?
This is the quandary that brands and retailers face. Do they risk looking out of date in the wider market and stick to more traditional retail methods or step on the technology conveyor belt, investing substantial sums to keep up with the newest trends.
And just as retailers and brands are starting to suffer from technology fatigue, are customers also? Ultimately there is no substitute for good service, exceptional quality and value for money– new technology needs to support and enhance these, not replace them.
EXCITING TIMES AT MOMENTUM
Momentum Instore, the leading provider of retail marketing solutions, has announced a restructure of its business to prepare the way for its future expansion plans. Operations Director Jon Day has been appointed as Head of Operations for the Installation team and Sarah Statham and Richard Williams have both been promoted to the newly created roles of Operations Managers. All three are experienced and long‐standing members of the Momentum Instore team.
Momentum Instore will also be recruiting a number of Account Managers over the coming months as part of its drive to build a strong structure for growth. In addition to this, the restructure will provide enhanced career progression opportunities for current employees.
Rob Gleave, Managing Director of Momentum Instore, said: “This restructure has been implemented to ensure that the whole business is able to support our plans for future growth and also to offer the team excellent opportunities for development. We are now in a position to further expand our resource to meet the needs of current and future clients whilst also maintaining our excellent service standards.”
