Winners and Losers in the Battle for Consumer Preference

The worlds top brands are locked in a long-term battle for buyer preference. Recent ForeSee research shows that while brands like Netflix, PayPal and Google continue to lead the way in digital experience, Walmart, Chase and others have made significant gains. In retail, Amazon continues to dominate through the delivery of excellent user experience and investments in delivery logistics. However, the multi-channel customer journey is now the norm enabling traditional retailers which have embraced digital, particularly mobile, to compete and prosper.
