The loyalty report
29% of Members
would not be loyal to the brand, if it weren’t for the program.
60% of Millennials
are willing to switch brands they buy if it means getting more benefits.
72% of customers
are interested in interacting with their loyalty program through a mobile device.
4,6x higher satisfaction
with the loyalty program is among consumers who strongly agree that the communications they receive from the brand are relevant.
Summary/1
• Customers will come to expect a better type of shopping experience across channels that they choose at a time they want
• Brands must invest in omnichannel solutions and ensure that convergence benefits consumers and increases satisfaction both online and off
• Tracking, analyzing and monetizing customer data will become increasingly important
• Ensuring “last mile” delivery capacity likely to become more challenging, and we are likely to see more partnerships emerge to most efficiently manage cost, capacity and demand
Summary/2
• Theater—the art of dramatic presentation—is the key to creating a differentiating retail experience (Innovative digital shopping experiences like virtual shelves, storefronts, and fitting rooms are accelerating)
• Retailers must master mobile to make purchasing easier, step up service, emphasize storytelling and personalization, and integrate the physical and virtual to create better customer experiences
• Social technologies present a key opportunity for retailers to build relationships with their consumers
Summary/3
• As traditional retailers go increasingly virtual, digital players are building up their physical presence
• Marketers are increasingly adapting their budgets, strategies and tactics to reach consumers across digital touchpoints at the right time and context
• If you truly believe you offer the best deals, then let customers access search and surf in-store
To do list
1. Identify what bugbears your customers have with your retail operation. Can technology help speed up queues? Remove crowds? Offer better ways of explaining and demonstrating your product range?
2. Trial different technologies; if it doesn't work, dump it – but if others do work, they could open up opportunities for your business that other competitors have yet to exploit.
3. Uncertain how to move forward? Then call in an expert supplier to help clarify and hone your vision.
