In the eighth edition of Brand Studio Live—a series that deals with marketing innovations and more—seven brand leaders will discuss why earning a customer’s trust is crucial for a brand’s survival today.
According to a recent survey conducted by PwC, one in three people ranked ‘trust in brand’ as among the top 3 reasons that influence their purchase decisions.
Building brand trust in the digital age, however, comes with its own set of complications.
There is a deluge of misinformation about how online businesses collect and use personal data.
Moreover, many consumers do not feel safe doing digital transactions. Many even find it hard to navigate the online purchasing process or will not buy anything at all if there aren’t enough reviews available on the internet!
How do brands overcome such stumbling blocks?
For key insights, tune in to the Hindustan Times Facebook page on March 19.
As part of the eight edition of Brand Studio Live, seven brand leaders will dissect the theme of ‘Brand trust in the age of the internet’.
