Challenge Statements
Omnichannel Shopping Experience
Modal Title
What is a sector wide challenge?
A sector wide challenge seeks for a solution which encompasses challenges forced by the industry as a whole, in this case – the retail industry. This sector wide challenge is supported by the Singapore Retail Associaton (SRA). SRA will support Stellar’s outreach efforts, and will assist in raising awareness and knowledge of the problem statement and solution to the greater sector, if appropriate, after success (or failure) of the pilot, through our media channels and engagement tools, such as our events, EDM and FB.
Sector Wide Grants from IMDA
The shortlisted Participant of this challenge will receive the above larger pool of grants from Stellar Lifestyle and IMDA.
Sector-Wide
How might we encourage online shoppers to visit physical stores, engage with the products, and make in-store purchases, thereby creating a seamless omnichannel shopping experience?
Optimising Marketing with Commuter Demographic Data
How might we effectively capture and analyse the demographic, commuting, and location data of commuters in and around train stations and Out-of-Home media assets near roads, to gain deeper insights into commuters’ needs and preferences and optimise marketing efforts for targeted engagement?
