“Our existing partnership with Klarna has been incredibly successful, as
it ensures our shoppers receive the utmost convenience and
personalization,” said Anders Hedman, Chief Marketing Officer at Daniel
Wellington. “Within the evolving retail landscape, we are thrilled to
expand upon this collaboration with a dynamic activation at SHOWFIELDS,
which allows us to pursue more experiential design alongside our
signature SoHo store and Rockefeller Center flagship.”
Today’s shoppers have high expectations – they demand personalized
experiences and the ability to shop anytime, anywhere and from any
device. From brick & mortar to checkout, shopping continues to evolve
due to changing consumer preferences and this demand for customization.
With the introduction of more pop-up stores and experiential shopping
activations like SHOWFIELDS, retailers are finding new ways to innovate
the shopping journey from start to finish. By adopting new payment
technologies like Klarna enthusiastically, retailers are acknowledging
consumers’ desire for increased flexibility and financial control.
“At Klarna, we understand that shopping is no longer what it used to
be,” said Michael Rouse, Chief Commercial Officer at Klarna. “Through
our collaboration with SHOWFIELDS and Daniel Wellington, we remain at
the forefront of this evolving industry and are dedicated to ensuring
that the experience continues to innovate and meet consumers’ changing
expectations. By giving shoppers the chance to try Daniel Wellington
watches at SHOWFIELDS and purchase via our easy payment solutions, we
are optimizing the overall shopping journey for consumers – thereby
driving loyalty and value.”
“Here at SHOWFIELDS we are always looking for companies bridging the gap
between digital and physical, and Klarna’s partnership with Daniel
Wellington to host a space at SHOWFIELDS is a perfect example of that,”
said SHOWFIELDS CEO and co-founder Tal Zvi Nathanel. “By creating an
immersive space with Daniel Wellington, Klarna is changing the way
consumers shop, experience and pay for purchases which made them a
perfect fit for the SHOWFIELDS style and design floor.”
