Welcome to Season 6 of Tech Powered Luxury, brought to you with Azure Communications!

This week, we’re diving into the world of mobile payments, luxury retail, and user experience with Donal McGuiness, the CEO of Prommt. If you’ve ever wondered how tech is shaping the way we shop for high-ticket items or how luxury retailers are making payments seamless for their customers, this episode is a must-listen!

Payments in luxury need to evolve to match the elevated customer experience. Clunky, unbranded payment methods can ruin the luxury journey. 💫
Prommt is revolutionizing payments by offering secure, branded mobile payment solutions that streamline high-ticket transactions via SMS, WhatsApp, and Zoom—making the checkout experience as seamless and premium as the service and customer experience that accompany the products.
Social commerce is reshaping luxury retail. Platforms like WeChat, Instagram, WhatsApp, and TikTok Shop are now powerful sales channels, allowing luxury brands to engage and sell directly to consumers through these platforms.

For quite some time now, Azure has been our go-to provider for all things print and marketing. If you attended our ⁠Live from Paris Fashion Week⁠ show in September last year, you would have seen our event magazines featuring all of the designers and creatives who played a part in the event and our beautiful invites - all created by Azure Communications - they know how to elevate events and marketing with a luxury and personalised touch.

If you’re looking for top-tier branded collateral, print services, or marketing support, look no further because Azure Communications can take care of all of it.
