ReCon Takeaway: Retail is Inextricably Linked to Technology, Social Media
By Nellie Day |
 | |
Macy's may be "the world's largest store," but it also
has superb social media presence, according to RECon panelists.
Above is perhaps its most famous bricks-and-mortar outpost,
on 34th Street in New York's Herald Square.

LAS VEGAS -- Some of the nation's largest shopping center owners and managers took a break early this week from discussing the physical attributes of their properties to focus on their technological infrastructure during RECon 2014 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
While the shopping center is still the priority, much of the conference's talk so far has focused on the properties' unseen attributes -- its Wifi capabilities, omni-channel presence, appreciation for social media, data analysis, sophisticated information technology systems -- in the quest to get more shoppers in the store and ring up more sales.
"It takes a huge shift in thinking to say that we as a property, or we as an owner, value technology enough that we're going to make an investment because we believe that investment is going to keep bringing customers to our shopping centers," says Corbett Guest, CEO of Dallas-based Imaginuity, a digital marketing agency that works with business-to-business and business-to-consumer companies.
