With more than 3,500 locations across retail, department and grocery stores, and malls, hotels and restaurants, Central Group commands a sizeable wallet share in Thailand.
The company knew that it’s one thing to be everywhere; but another to meet each individual customer’s specific needs at precisely the right times and places. Central Group wanted to provide personalized, surprise-and-delight moments. The company sought to use real consumer data to create more meaningful experiences and interactions with customers.
