Building and Monetizing Micro-communities Using Low Code

This Week in Innovation

09/16/21 • 41 min

#digitaltransformation #Microcommunities #SocialCommerce

Shiv Dutt, VP Customer Experience & Innovation, Pamper Chef joined Brian and I for a discussion on how Pampered Chef is building and monetizing #microcommunities. They have just launched Table, , digital platform that enables its consultants to host customized virtual cooking parties that deliver content designed to improve a consumer’s mealtime journey.

It was built quickly using #lowcode on Interplay that allows for rapid integration of additional functionality. I believe this is an early peek at what many retailers will be doing with their own communities within a few years.
