Shopper Centric Retailing
1
Why we talk about this
5
Once upon a time the BRANDS were king in the shops and it was THEM driving the customers in the shops.
It was a manufactureres world.
Why we talk about this In the 80s/90s a power shift took place: retail consolidation for growth, discounting as new phenomenon, new power in negotiations with the producers, development of own promotions, then own brands and finally own relationships with the customers
Why we talk about this Today the manufactureres and the dealers are in a conflict against each other and fight for the relationship with the poor consumer
What is SCR? - Focus on the shopper – not on the conflict between
manufacturer and retailer - Joined forces, combined capabilities, collaboration! - share learnings, create single basis and team up for
activation

What is SCR?

11
Case: Tesco
Case: Tesco - The Tesco card: « What scares me is that you know more
about my customers after three months than I know after 30 years », says a manufacturer
- Who are my shoppers, where when at what do they buy? - Sharing the data, knowledge and technology with the
suppliers to develop relevant promotions together
12

13
Case: Target
Case: Target - Target is a discounter « expect more, pay less » - Call their customers « guests » (ex. Contagious
Magazin: « people – formally known as consumers ») - Wanna know their guests und understand their diversity - What influences their shopping behaviour (e.g. repeated
purchase) - And develop tangible and meaningsful actions for their
teams to execute - What counts is their wants and needs, building guest
categories to drive relevancy in offers, e.g. healthy living (implicarion on products, in what locations, etc.)

15
Case: Macy’s
Case: Macy’s - Discussion about the marketing departments taking more
responsibilities for its own technologies - Integration of « Marketing Technologists » in the
marketing teams - Objective: gain a 360 degree view of the consumer - Owning the insights - Handling and profiling of own database - Replacing 10 different mailings with 30.000 versions of
one single direct mail piece, in order to be more relevant
16
6 Keys to Success 1. Right objectives – it’s not about monetizing data but creating
more targeted approach 2. Single shopper view – retailer and manufacturere, same data,
same shopper, same target 3. Insights AND activation – build relevant promotions based on
the insights 4. Executive commitment – this is not bottom up 5. Organizational change 6. Effective collaboration
18
Consumer Experience
2
Start Consumer Centric - Shopper Centric Retail is the strong focus of this years RBS - Of course also the development of a consumer
experience in retail starts here - What do the consumers want?
19
Need 1: Value
It is not the price only >>>
Make consumers believe that the product is worth more than they paid for.
Need 2: Discovery Discovery = creating wow experiences for consumers ready to buy expensive gadgets like the iPad or the Kindle >>>
There is fashion in everything. There is fashion in tyres. There is fashion in refridgerators.

Carrefour S.A. (Euronext: CA) (French pronunciation: [ka fu ]) is a French international hypermarket chain. Headquartered in Levallois-Perret, France,[2] Carrefour is the one of the largest hypermarket chains in the world (1395 hypermarkets at the end of 2009, this is nearly a half of the quantity of US-located Wal-Mart hypermarkets),[citation needed] the second largest retail group in the world in terms of revenue and third largest in profit after Wal-Mart and Tesco. Carrefour operates mainly in Europe, Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia and in the Dominican Republic, but also has shops in North Africa and other parts of Asia, with most stores being of smaller size than hypermarket or even supermarket. Carrefour means "crossroads" in French.
30
Case: Carrefour
Case: Carrefour - Hypermarkets are losing share to small shops and the
internet, better prices and better assortment - How to make the hypermarket visit an experience? - What differentiates the visit versus the internet is the
senses, look/feel/touch need to play a key role in the creation of an offline experience
- Introducing baby sitting, hair cut and technology (e.g. shopping consultants)
31
Idea: Partnerships
Guideline: Do what you can do best and involve others to to things you don’t know doing.
