IMA Ireland Retailer Event deemed a great success

A very successful event was held in Dublin by IMA Ireland and Retail Ireland. Retail Ireland is the representative body of the retail industry in Ireland. Retail Ireland is a business unit within Ibec, the group that represents Irish business domestically and internationally. The event was held at Ibec headquarters and focused on retailers of gift cards and the opportunities the B2B market presents to them. After Tom Burke of Retail Ireland’s welcome and introduction, Phil Mooney, IMA Ireland and Arnotts, offered an overview of opportunities for retailers and IMA Europe’s role in representing the industry. The first session was given by Elizabeth Espy, SVM Europe and IMA USA, who discussed the building of a business case for gift cards. This was followed by an open panel discussion. Greg Canty of Fuzion Communications then debated the use of LinkedIn for effective B2B incentive marketing. The last session was led by Paul Sheedy of Reward Technology Ltd. He focused on how to make gift cards and loyalty programmes smarter by harnessing RFID and beacon technologies.
