Introducing our main event sponsor for the AFL Grand Final Business Lunch: Parcel Protect. 📦

Built for Aussie eCommerce, Parcel Protect helps retailers protect shipments, revenue and their brand - covering the delivery risks that traditional insurance can leave behind, including loss, damage and porch piracy.

And when something does go wrong, Parcel Protect manages the claim and resupply through the retailer, helping keep customers loyal and within the brand’s ecosystem.

We’re thrilled to have the team on board as our main event sponsor and can’t wait to celebrate Grand Final week with them, and the wider retail community, next week at the MCG.

A huge thank you to Parcel Protect for supporting the event!

Winning in an AI-powered world comes down to how your brand actually makes people feel.

In this clip, Silvia Signore from Yotpo explores why genuine connection with customers is something AI can’t replicate.

Experiential loyalty programmes can help create that connection through early access, VIP perks, product input and unexpected surprises.

No big production. Just good ideas and a camera. 🎥

In this clip, Pete Chappell from Merry People shares how the brand created content in the early days by using Airbnb stays, inviting friends along and getting creative.

Great content doesn't always need a big budget, sometimes it just needs a good idea!

Climate reporting is becoming a consideration for more businesses than you might think 🌍

In this clip, Athena Savvas from DISSH discusses mandatory climate reporting and how the requirements can extend beyond large businesses.

Even smaller businesses may need to provide emissions and sustainability information when supplying larger organisations that are required to report.

A reminder that understanding these requirements early can help businesses stay prepared as reporting expectations evolve 🌱

Same-day dispatch could be one of your simplest retention wins. 📦

The courier might be out of your control, but how quickly an order leaves your warehouse isn't.

In this clip, Justin Irvine, Guy Nappa and Joel Randal discuss how fast dispatch can shape the customer experience - because customers might not remember every part of the buying journey, but they’ll remember when an order took too long to arrive.

Sometimes, retention starts with the operational basics.

Featuring: Justin Irvine, CEO, The Aggregate Co; Guy Nappa, Business Owner, Oz Hair & Beauty; and Joel Randal, Global Operations Director, Culture Kings.

Is a 10% off sign-up offer bringing the right customers into your CRM?

In this clip from Retail Fest 2026, Rebecca Keogh explains how incentive-led sign-ups can attract customers primarily interested in a first-purchase offer, rather than those likely to engage beyond that initial purchase.

The takeaway? Growing your database is indeed part of the equation, but what matters is building an engaged, valuable audience.
