Raydiant, a full-service digital signage and experience platform provider, has released the findings from its State of In-Store Marketing report.

Bobby Marhamat, CEO of Raydiant, said, “The findings confirm our belief that in-store marketing is incredibly challenging. Those responsible for in-store marketing are stuck using a fragmented collection of expensive tools and they’re unsure if they are seeing an ROI from these tools. To survive and thrive in the future of brick-and-mortar retail, organizations will need to prioritize ROI and arm their marketers with modern tools that set them up for success.”
