According to Endre Eölyüs, Mastercard’s country manager in Hungary and Slovenia, a successful store isn’t only a place where products are purchased, but also some kind of platform that connects customers with the values that are important for them. He added that this year the company not only rewarded the most innovative solutions, but also made a study about the state of play in Hungary’s retail trade sector, with the focus on online and physical-store customer experience.

Péter Mondovics, marketing manager of Mastercard said the good customer experience is based on understanding the needs of customers. Retailers’ job isn’t easy, but the survey has revealed that 58 percent of customers with some kind of positive experience while shopping buy more next time or tell their friends about the given shop. //
