Share post:

Ahead of the highly anticipated  in Toronto on September 28-29, an Innovation Briefing has been released for 2022. []

The report provides insight into how some of the biggest retailers are pushing the boundaries while seeing success with e-commerce at a time when consumers are shopping online more than ever. The report makes readers better equipped to implement and optimize similar strategies through learnings and experience. 

Included is a discussion of how Canadian Tire is investing in its e-commerce — the retail behemoth has seen strong sales from its expanded online channel, as well as its membership program. Walmart Canada, which is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in its Canadian operations, is a point of discussion showcasing how over the course of a decade, it grew its online channel from almost nothing to billions of dollars in annual revenue. 

The discussion then goes to to how Lowe’s and Google Cloud services are supercharging app development and how Loblaws is adapting to evolving shopping trends and eating habits — grocery retailers in particular have seen a huge spike in online business since the start of the pandemic. 

Big-box retailer Costco, known for its busy stores, has seen its online sales rise drastically in the face of changing consumer — while inexpensive hot dogs are an attraction at stores, so is the convince of being able to shop from home. All of these retailers have shown tremendous innovation in developing and expanding online channels.
