“By carefully considering how you communicate at every touchpoint in the customer journey, you can ensure the online to offline experience is as seamless as possible.”

Horsburgh said his session at the show will draw on the full knowledge and experience of the CitNOW Group to define the ultimate buying experience for customers, this includes best practice tips from across the group’s brands, including CitNOW, Dealerweb and Tootle, to help retailers be more efficient and boost profitability.
