Retail

Providing an omnichannel, personalised and responsible customer experience to develop sales

 

The booming development of technologies has led to an increase in the number of sales channels (e-commerce, m-commerce, drive-ins, etc.).

The challenge facing brands is to bring these different channels together to offer consumers a seamless purchasing experience, and meet the growing demands of sustainability.

Identify your new growth opportunities

Digital transformation in the retail industry, coupled with profound changes in consumer behaviour, is offering new opportunities:

 

  • Omnichannel remains at the core of the challenges, changes… and growth. Online sales made up for in-store losses during the pandemic for 52% of retailers in France.
  • Hybridised purchasing paths: brick and mortar commerce still has a bright future ahead of it. 62% of French consumers say they prefer to buy things in shops
  • Strong expectations regarding personalisation: new technologies make it possible to capitalise on data and to propose affinity-based offerings and loyalty programmes.
  • New services for responsible consumer behaviour: repairing rather than replacing, different ways to consume (second-hand, rental, etc.).

The challenges in your industry:

Omnichannel is omnipresent

New technologies have definitely influenced consumer behaviour and consumers’ need for fluid interaction between the different channels (at POS, online, by phone, etc.). Delivering a seamless customer experience across all channels builds customer loyalty and increases satisfaction.

Data, the keystone of retail’s future

How do you take advantage of digitalised and constantly growing data?

The challenge is to centralise data streams, get them to talk to each other, improve customer knowledge, act in real time, and finally to deliver the best customer experience to enhance satisfaction.

 

CSR is a core concern

Brand transparency is more important than ever to gain consumer trust and loyalty. Beyond the considerations of manufacturing and traceability, brands must adapt to new consumer patterns: second-hand, rental, reparability, Made in France, local, recycling, etc.

 

Consultative selling

The digitalisation of processes and certain time-consuming tasks allows salespeople to play a central role in customer relationships: they can therefore concentrate on value-added advisory tasks, such as merchandising, in order to develop sales.
