imrg - the voice of e-retail

 

About Us

IMRG is a membership community for the e-retail industry, whose vision is to maximise the commercial potential of online shopping.

With more than 18 years experience in a rapidly-changing e-commerce market we help members maximise the business opportunities, and stay up to date with developments in the e-retail marketplace.

IMRG (Interactive Media in Retail Group) promotes e-retail through a membership community.
As a member you will benefit from IMRG’s Community, Industry Standards, and Information.

1. Community


IMRG Member Logo 75 x 75IMRG offers a retail membership network for retailers and suppliers who seek to collaborate, voice ideas and opinions, and grow their network, in an e-retail community, through events and thought leadership programmes.

IMRG hosts a number of member workshops and thought leadership forums, which allow both merchants and facilitators to learn about, and determine, the future of e-retail.


2. Industry Standards – Best Practices


LaptopIMRG promotes retail industry standards and best practices, facilitating self-regulation and the advancement of a comprehensive code of conduct for the retail industry through lobbying activities undertaken by both retailers and suppliers.

The standards and best practices are established and shared by means of online information, white papers, workshops and forums that address key regulatory and innovative issues.

As a supplier you will learn more about your clients’ key issues, and as a retailer you will be assured of the most up to date and relevant issues that are underlying the e-retail market, as well as being part of a community that shapes the future of e-retail standards..

3. Information – Market Intelligence


Information 75 x 75IMRG provides an interactive pool of retail data and information from both its own research team, and from a wide variety of external information resources. Members can also share their information through IMRG.
