How did we come up with this year’s list?
To identify this year’s influencers we used tools such as Buzzsumo and Klear, which helped us surface notable analysts, consultants, and journalists in the retail industry.
From there, we looked into each individual to gauge their authority and influence in the industry. We read their articles, checked out their speaking engagements, and examined their presence in retail events and publications. We then used all that information to determine their place on our list.
What do we mean by "retail influencers"?
We define influencers as individuals that retailers turn to for insights, news, and advice. These are analysts, consultants, and journalists who are constantly sharing insightful content and commentary about retail, and they’re actively helping merchants build and run thriving retail businesses.
How can you be part of this list?
Being an active member of the retail community is important. If you’re consistently providing great content and you have a strong presence in retail gatherings and in the media, then we want you on this list. It also doesn’t hurt to have an engaged social following!
If you’d like to be part of the list or would like to nominate someone, get in touch with us and we’ll be sure to include them in our evaluation process for next year.
