The future of retail

The Internet of Things is providing retailers with endless opportunities to leverage insights into consumer behaviour and shopping patterns.

For instance, with IoT, shops can obtain granular retail data that can be used to help retail managers make informed decisions to make their offering more attractive to consumers by, for example, offering personalised discounts. Or by showing consumers offers from retailers that they have already shown interest in, via targeted marketing.

In addition, IoT can provide retailers with innovative solutions such as smart shelves, automated checkouts, in-store layout optimisation, and the ability to make pricing changes across all stores globally within a moment’s notice, thereby improving the overall retail experience.

Aruba Instant On for Retail

The Aruba Instant On in Retail campaign provides an industry-centric partner framework to promote specific messaging, value props, and product lines for small businesses. The campaign assets are customizable - partners can add their value proposition, service offering, and other valuable information to scale promotional efforts.

From online shopping to personalised instore experiences, small retailers may struggle to create the experiences customers expect. With Instant On, retailers can address evolving purchase behaviours with access points and switches that are easy to deploy and manage.
