Founder of Garden Connect
We work for several marketing groups, family owned groups and independents
We’re providing websites to about 200 garden retailers
We provide over 50 webshops
We provide website content and send newsletters to about 500,000 newsletters / week
Social media services
GardenDeal App, new innovation and a mobile based loyalty scheme which is future proof.
We’ll talk about mobile later on!
So let’s see where we are now:
Your customers are going online, younger ones and older ones
The internet is here to stay, so the old days won’t come back. Your older customer base is shrinking. I know two customers of ours who are checking the obituaries in the local newspapers to remove customers from their customer database. Akward isn’t it?
More important: customers are ignoring more and more the difference between online and offline. Offline orientation and online shopping are merging. So for example: you’re buying shoes in the high street but the store doesn’t have your size. You can order it instore, pay like a normale purchase but it will be delivered within 24 hours as with online orders.
This is how train stations look nowadays
Facts
Online sales in the UK will pass the 100 billion pounds – that’s a lot of money!
+16% year on year compared to 2013
Smartphone based sales are up 138%
Hortweek published a survey saying online sales in our industry will double the upcoming 4 years. Earlier this week we received reports from the Dutch trade organisation saying online sales in NL in the industry are up 3%% compared to 2013.
So to summarize: within 4 years 15% will be spent online. If you looked at he Market Analysis from the HTA you’ve noticed the market isn’t growing, so the online sales are reducing the offline sales.
Back to the first point: the UK are the world champions of online sales! The amount of money spent online per consumer is the highest of the world! After 1966 you finally did it again!
So if you ask yourself a few questions you realise the internet should be in yourmarketing strategie.
Or is your strategie to target customers via yellow pages?
So let’s visualize what we should do.
So to summarize:
The customer journey is changing
Your role is changing as you don’t have the monopoly on knowledge anymore. Knowledge is in your hands with your smartphone!
The supply chain is changing as retailers don’t have a monopoly on sales anymore. Amazon is selling with stores and manufactures can communicate directly with customers, passing the retailers.
Every retailer should lvoe smartphones as they are you way into your customers mind.
Check those facts
Give me your smartphone and I tell you who you are. It’s all I need!
Of course your website should be responsive as a starting point
Smartphones allow you to establish a direct connection with your customers
Mobile sales are +138% this year – how much did you do via mobile phones?
