An Overlooked Part of Outdoor Industry Retail? DataGoSpotCheck
The right software gives independent reps the tools to examine brand management strategy and ensure that crucial field data is collected. Planograms, displays and visual merchandising are three components of retail that are vital to the outdoor industry. Similarly, initiatives directly involving sales reps and brand ambassadors need to be monitored and examined, to ensure optimal results. The following aspects of outdoor industry retail can be enhanced with mobile data collection.
Vendor contracts: Many vendor contracts allow independent reps to put products on sale, given a certain time window. The goal of vender contracts is often to maintain brand consistency – through pricing and related marketing efforts. As such, vendor contracts can be extremely comprehensive, and SaaS tools ensure retailers follow the outlined regulations.
Demos: Field reps often perform demos and need to gather real-time information surrounding the success of the event. Data points regarding sales, reviews and marketing can be extremely helpful for brands spending time and money for demos and sampling.
Seasonal promotions: Seasonal merchandising, especially relevant with the holidays approaching, needs to be optimized. The last two months of the year offer an extremely small time window with tremendous opportunity.
Monitoring competition: SaaS tools should help gather insight surrounding internal data as well as competitive intel. Track competition to better understand the market and related customer needs and demands.
Creating a great customer experience requires good data, content, and engagement programs across the entire decision journey. Getting it wrong can mean losing customers or seeing negative buzz erode sales. Big data and digital can play critical roles in bolstering operating margins. Leaders in big data across markets have generally outperformed their peers, sometimes by as much as 20% - 30%.
By now everyone knows, at least at the broadest levels, how and why Amazon has come to dominate online retail: convenient shopping, smart tech investments, and an expanding set of creative business models. No wonder Amazon is now the world’s most valuable retail brand. In 2011, 13% of all US online retail went through Amazon, and it’s poised to capture more offline sales, too.
Inside the secret sauce that drives Amazon’s market share growth are valuable lessons for multichannel retailers if they want to capture their fair share of growth.
Social really is here when it comes to the enterprise. Many see the role of social in consumer-focused businesses but have not absorbed what it means for the enterprise. Social is having a direct impact in 5 areas:
1. DIY prospecting: Customers conduct research on products and services well ahead of the official start to the sales cycle
2. Peer influence: Customers “pulse” their peers at every step of the journey
3. Trial before purchase: User testing requires grassroot support. It’s no longer a single decision instance rather smaller purchase bundles
4. Buyer & user are the same: The phenomenon changes decision and influence points in enterprise purchasing
5. Click to compare: Pricing transparency is foundational; consumer expectations are shaping enterprise behavior
For companies to be successful today, they have to plan for customer journeys not just customer experiences. In the digital age where engaging with customers across the entire purchase process, the experience with the brand can as important - if not more so - than the product itself. The best companies are aligned on their customer journey strategy, are truly omnichannel, get and keep the right talent, know what their return on marketing investment is, have campaigns tailored to their customers, and are agile.

5 Steps to Delivering Many Sites, Lowering Costs, and Improving GovernanceRachel Wandishin
Today, digital technology leaders and their IT teams are facing mounting pressure to meet demand for the creation and management of digital experiences (i.e. websites and beyond), driven by new business initiatives such as digital marketing campaigns, global branding, and security and compliance standards.
In addition to executing ever-growing site delivery requests, IT teams are pressed to accommodate internal requirements for content flexibility, cost efficiency, and continuous multisite performance - often causing conflicting obligations.
To meet expectations, for both quantity of sites delivered and quality of service, digital IT teams must re-evaluate their approach to site management and process governance. They must evolve their technologies and services, and make the necessary changes to become a ‘center of excellence’ for their organizations. In this webinar, we will cover the following topics:
- How to transform your IT digital team from a “bottleneck” to a trusted service provider
- How to implement a site governance strategy across your organization
- Best practices for expediting website development and delivery

How to monitor and prioritize epics of a Service Cloud implementation project...YeurDreamin'
Chatter, live agent chat, a 360° view, omnichannel tool, knowledge, Einstein, feedback, notes, reports & dashboards, automations, routing and escalation, user interface, notifications and alerts, self-care (self-service communities and portals), field service lightning,…all these objects and features are essential to reach customer centricity and operational excellence. But how are we supposed to prioritize these epics? What is a good approach/methodology to define the milestones of a Service Cloud implementation project roadmap?
As a project lead, budget constraints, technical and business resource availabilities will influence the duration and the scope of a project. An increase in the scope of one project could put pressure on costs and schedules of all other projects. This is why companies should have a strict internal requirements management process that is performance – driven. As suggested in the balanced scorecard model, it’s necessary to have a balanced approached to performance measures that includes customer perception (CxPi, VELO), operational business process efficiency (contact rate, FTR and QRT), Organizational capacity (internal NPS, AHT, cross-selling) and financial performance (growth margin, cost to serve).
This scorecard can be complemented by other company-specific KPIs and will serve at least 2 strategic purposes: This model will first help you in monitoring the Service Cloud implementation project in a better way and track if the objectives are met, second the model will help you in prioritizing the epics to define the implementation roadmap.

Editor's Notes
During the sale period that year, easyJet transacted five sales per second, the equivalent of filling two planes per minute.
For the first time the easyJet home page also shows a selection of real-time prices for flights relevant to the visitor for targeted destinations, which the airline says is a considerable technical achievement, considering the number of visitors on the site at any given time booking flights, which in turn constantly changes prices for others.
The real-time pricing feature allows targeted users to click straight through into the booking section for these offered flights.
EasyJet initially introduced the new personalised home page to just 1 percent of the UK traffic, testing against the standard home page, and incrementally ramping up traffic to the entire UK and Netherlands business first.
EasyJet has now completed home page personalisation across all 19 easyJet regional websites, in 14 languages.
James Millett, head of digital at easyJet, said, "The power of the tool has transformed the way we can change the site to react quickly to external factors. For example, during the recent wet spell we had a series of ad banners encouraging users to escape the rain - such a simple premise but very difficult to achieve quickly before we implemented Sitecore
So some boards are planning to make investments on digital marketing but they will want the business case and answers to the questions they raise for all investments……….
If these questions aren’t answered then your organisations will not make the informed investments that they need to be competitive.
So firstly how do you correlate digital marketing technologies to your business and marketing objectives?
Joining the dots, joined up thinking
Joining the dots, joined up thinking
Lets take the example of the business and marketing goal of improving increasing repeat business, how does a unified customer experience platform serve this goal………..
Define segments
Map journeys
Render personalised content aimed at the personas and implicit and explicit behaviour.
Use analytics and gain insight to build a SCV
Measure outcomes with goals and engagement values
Optimise and improve through testing
And do all this across all channels
The result is an improvement in online self service and less burden on call centre overheads
Getting data out!
This is what we are trying to get to and it can be done.
Example of getting the right data.
We can build up a profile over time, harvesting information from all digital properties and where possible correlating it to off-line CRM data.
If there is an exchange of value, customers will provide you with information about themselves.
We can see the profile of this person and therefore engage with them accordingly.
Customers’ personal circumstances are just as important as their behaviour, as one
is often influenced by the other.
Changes in marital status, income level, occupation, birth of children, all have an influence on customer behaviour and if a company’s SCV omits these details, then it only has a small fraction of the overall picture of its customers.
Achieving this is now technically feasible and commercially viable.
According to SiriusDecsiosns: for every 1% data quality improvement, marketing can generate 5--‐6% of incremental revenue. The same study indicates that 25%
of an average prospect database is inaccurate, with best in class achieving
90%. So a real big opportunity to be had.

But then how do we set the ROI and calculate it?
But remember that there are many other factors that can be accounted for in the business case – so the ROI calculator, at least this version of it, is only part of the storey.
