#543: Leaders in Customer Loyalty: Brand Stories | How Journeys Keeps Customers Engaged Across Fast-Moving Trends

Send us Fan MailAll marketers face the challenge of adapting to changing consumer expectations and behaviors, regardless of industry. But Eric Creel, Loyalty Program Manager at shoe retailer Journeys, notes that this challenge can be especially tricky to navigate in his industry. “In a weird way, I'd say one of the biggest challenges is also one of the things that I find the most interesting, and that’s how shoe retail is very much driven by trends and what's hot in the moment,” he said. “Our customers are constantly evolving with that, and we have to be able to recognize that as quickly as we can and then make the necessary adjustments to stay relevant to them and deliver the experiences they're looking for.” Whether it’s a seasonal trend, a new shoe drop, or a certain style that has become trendy on social media, Creel and his team must stay abreast of trends and what’s new in the footwear space. This requires meeting the customers where they are through social media or other channels and then reacting to what they are looking for now.  Stay connected with Loyalty360!
