This document discusses how publishers can expand into e-commerce. It notes that both retailers and content companies are increasingly moving online. Specifically, media and book publishers are entering e-commerce. For publishers, this requires rethinking their business model from B2B to attracting direct consumers and expanding product lines related to their content. The document then outlines challenges of e-commerce including product, marketing, sales, logistics and ICT. It presents bpost's solutions for delivery and returns logistics through their Shipping Manager tool to help publishers overcome these challenges and succeed with e-commerce.
The document summarizes the results of a market research pilot conducted in two phases by an insurance company to evaluate the impact of direct mail (DM) and additional traditional advertising (ATL) campaigns.
In phase one without ATL, different customer groups received DM with or without follow up calls. DM increased call acceptance from 51% to 58% and had a positive return on investment when combined with calls. DM recall dropped quickly so calls needed to closely follow mailings.
In phase two with added ATL, similar groups received mailings or calls alone. DM continued to boost calls and also improved brand perceptions more than ATL. DM recall significantly outperformed TV, print and other ATL channels. The research

ORTEC Retail Store Delivery Innovations - English notes addedORTEC
This document provides a summary of a webinar on innovations in retail store delivery. It introduces the speakers - Ronald Buijsse, Luc Koenot, and Dr. Goos Kant - and outlines the agenda to cover trends, innovations, and case studies. Luc Koenot then discusses trends in retail like increasing consumer expectations for convenience, quality, and sustainability. This highlights the need for efficient and optimized supply chains.
Goos Kant then presents on three levels of innovations - tactical delivery scheduling, operational delivery planning, and real-time routing and dispatch control. He provides examples of how these are implemented. Case studies are then presented on implementations at Walmart, Carrefour, and Shoprite,
INNOVATION is the creation of something really new, not just a variation of an existing item. The new item can be based on existing modules, but in order to count as an innovation, new properties are required. In today's global & saturated markets, industries are relying on innovation to survive on the economic battlefield.
But in order to create really innovative Packaging, we will most often require new technical capabilities & investments. Therefore, Packaging Innovation is currently often technology-driven -- new capabilities appear & then allow to create new kinds of Packaging. This approach is fine and should not only be continued in the Future, but even supported by better communication & knowledge transfer concerning these capabilities.
If we want to understand the impact on Digitalisation onto the Packaging Industry and start to create concepts for Future Packaging, however, we will need to work the other way round. To innovate for the next 7 years, we need to work from a VISION.
The scenarios in this article can help you to create relevant visions for your companies & brands. For our FUTURE.

The document discusses e-commerce business models and their application to online grocery. It begins by defining e-commerce and exploring the customer engagement cycle from discovery to experience. It then examines different e-commerce fulfillment models like inventory-led, drop-ship, marketplace, VMI, and hyper-local. Challenges of online grocery are also discussed due to factors like many items per order, perishability, frequent price changes, and need for fast delivery. The case study of Salt n Soap is presented, which uses a "shop and drop" hyper-local model for its online grocery business.
Changing Business Models: The Shift to B2B2C and D2C SalesAshish Saxena
Times are changing, and business models are no longer limited to only B2B or B2C. We are seeing a slow
change to alternative models such as B2B2C (business-to-business-to-consumer), D2C (direct-to-consumer)
or B2E (business-to-employee) in order to better meet more specific end-consumer needs.
In this white paper, we’re delving into the trends impacting this shift away from traditional business models in
the e-commerce landscape. We’re also sharing a useful step-by-step guide on how to implement a successful
D2C strategy.
Bye bye banks | Disruption in Banking | A talk at Rufus Reinvents MoneyJames Haycock
Banking is undergoing the fastest change it's ever seen.
Might the banks, like the telcos before them, become dumb pipes as they're dis-intermediated from their customers by the arrival of new, leaner, digitally native companies?
Often the retort of telcos to the dumb pipes remark is that they'll become smart pipes but what if the pipes are under attack too?
The last few years has seen the arrival of a slew of VC backed startups competing for core business with the banks.
Beyond this, might the core infrastructure of the banking sector be at risk with the arrival of technologies like cryptocurrencies and the blockchain?
Оптимизация online-канала в интегрированном/ многоканальном ритейлеMarketingOne_TOP-MM

PolyPack is developing innovative packaging made from recycled plastic bottles that is both sturdy and environmentally sustainable. Their business model involves leasing machines to manufacturers to produce customized packaging on-site from waste materials. This limits environmental impact while allowing companies to project green values. Initial financial projections estimate PolyPack will be profitable by year 3 with $1 million in retained earnings by year 5, and management aims to raise $400,000 in investment to fund growth.
This document discusses integrated supply chain management. It begins with an agenda that covers supply chain laws, business cases, and communication. It then discusses concepts like achieving an integrated supply chain through internal and external integration. It introduces four "laws of logistics" - the law of lowest total cost, the law of speed quality and accuracy, the law of supply chain volatility, and the law of counter-intuition. Several business cases are presented involving supply network design and logistics optimization at P&G. The document emphasizes the importance of information sharing, speed, and counteracting natural human tendencies to introduce delays that can increase volatility and costs.
Daniel Kirby discusses three ways that marketing departments can use the web to reduce waste. First, workflow management systems can streamline approval processes for things like licensing. Second, online procurement tools can consolidate photography needs. Third, brand asset management systems provide a central place for assets and reduce physical distribution of materials. Overall, web-based systems allow for better organization and collaboration, while cutting costs, waste of materials, and unnecessary tasks.

This white paper discusses 5 important e-commerce trends: transparency, omnichannel, convenience, sustainability/environment, and technology. It focuses on how retailers can provide convenience to online customers through their logistics and delivery operations. Specifically, it emphasizes the importance of flexibility, same-day or evening delivery, subscription services, and couriers who can install or set up products for customers. The goal is to encourage e-commerce entrepreneurs to seize opportunities in online retail by learning from these trends.
Supply chain collaboration is a critical area of focus for many retail businesses. Before collaboration efforts can be made, key players must first understand the difference between key industry segments. The retail and consumer packaged goods segments are most often confused because of their similarities, but in reality are quite different. Retail is defined as the sale of products to end consumers. This is typically done through a variety of retail channels including brick and mortar stores, e-commerce sites, phone sales and print catalogs. Consumer packaged goods (CPG) is a more broad category encompassing all manufacturers, sellers and marketers of physical goods that are sold through retailers. CPGs often operate at the wholesale level rather than the direct-to-consumer (D2C) level. While these businesses have very similar end goals, they often do not work closely together. In a 2015 article industry experts noted that by working together retailers and CPG manufacturers could benefit from increased sales, cost savings, optimized processes and systems and a more positive customer experience. A strategic collaboration plan can help these businesses to more easily obtain these common objectives.
Before a strategy can be developed, these key players must also look at the challenges or roadblocks they expect to encounter. Some of the top challenges encountered by the CPG industry include: variable consumer demand and the ability to adapt, shrinking profit margins due to increased competition, increase regulatory requirements, data visibility across global supply chains and the management of complex omni-channel retail strategies. Due to the proximity of these supply chain segments, retailers are often affected by these challenges downstream, but by working together to develop new and innovative products and processes both retail supply chain operations can benefit. Much of this innovation will come from improved analytics derived from WMS technology investment which is expected to increase through 2018. Learn more about how tech investment and supply chain innovation will improve collaboration efforts between consumer packaged goods manufacturers and retailers by contacting Datex experts today at marketing@datexcorp.com or 800-933-2839 ext 243 or www.datexcorp.com.
MotelBox is a proposed solution for parcel delivery that allows packages to be delivered to secure lockers instead of homes. This solves issues with missed home deliveries or inconvenient relay points. Customers can order packages from any website and have them delivered to the nearest MotelBox location for pickup at their convenience without queues. MotelBox aims to attract 3-5% of Belgium's 9 million annual parcel deliveries in its first two years by offering a low cost alternative to other delivery options like BPost and Kiala. To launch, MotelBox needs funding to purchase and maintain lockers, develop a website system, and conduct marketing campaigns.
Flatfield is launching a series of technical seminars in 2019 focused on providing customers real value by analyzing what achieves the lowest total cost in their PCB supply chain. The seminars will take a forensic look at PCB designs to suggest cost reduction solutions. Flatfield's "Da Vinci" program also provides a free design for cost analysis to identify options for reducing costs without customer input beyond providing design files. Flatfield recently took this program on a roadshow in the UK where it engaged customers and found solutions to lower their PCB supply chain costs.
This document discusses supply chain management (SCM) concepts. It defines key terms like supply chain, demand chain, and SCM. It describes the benefits of SCM like increased profits and competitive advantage. It explains the components of supply chains including upstream, internal, and downstream processes. It also discusses challenges in SCM like the bullwhip effect and solutions like strategic partnerships and just-in-time approaches. The role of technology like ERP systems and e-commerce in integrating SCM is also summarized.

The Complete Transformation from Offline to Online Magento Implementation of a B2B Platform – a Case Study. This case study shows how we managed to reach 100.000.000 EUR of online revenue, within only 3 quarters last year.
The document discusses how direct mail (letterbox) can be used to effectively engage with consumers (iConsumers) in today's digital environment. It notes that direct mail remains a valuable marketing channel, even for the most digital consumers, as it can reinforce digital strategies by driving web traffic when combined with online searches. Some key points made are that 87% of direct mail is read, it is one of the most important touchpoints related to purchase decisions, and many advertisers now fully integrate direct mail into their strategies for reaching and engaging consumers.

bpost test eerstdaags in Mechelen en regio Verviers de gebundelde postbestelling voor gezinnen uit. Op zowat 17.000 adressen zullen de postbodes alle brieven en ongeadresseerd drukwerk in een open bedrukte map bestellen.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
21. Rethinking your business model is
a significant challenge
Tap into new segments: book publishers are often B2B
providers and selling via resellers and retailers
Think how to become a brand that attracts
consumers.
Expand into new product categories: selling non-content
products is not a core business
Think about products related to your own
content or your readers’ interest.

E-commerce boost. According to a study of Boston Consulting Group, the annualgrowth is 25%. And the Internet economywillgrowfrom 2,5 % of the GNP to 4,6 % by 2015.
Pure e-commerce players are opening physical shops (Coolblue, Pixmania, Amazon). Traditional brick-and-mortar retailers are opening online shops (Torfs, Zeb, MaxiToys, ….). The retailers world is moving towards a multichannel business model in order to have a broader reach and enhance the shopping experience of their customers.Also more and morepeople search info online beforetheybuy in a shop and vice versa.
Some Anglo-Saxon online shops (Net-A-Porter) already expand towards providing content to their customers (own digital magazine about fashion).
Publishers and E-Commerce are Perfect Together . E-commerce is a big opportunity also for publishers.It started modestly by selling for instance subscriptions online. However, publishers are moving beyond selling subscriptions or even digital content.
In the US, big corporations like Hearst Media integrate e-commerce on sites such as Housebeautiful.com, one of their magazines.
In Belgium Sanoma made their first steps into e-commerce a couple of years ago. They started the Libelle Shop where they sell articles interesting for their female readers. Examples: interieur or cooking products, fashion products, children, gifts for special days like Mother day, …
De Standaard and Het Nieuwsblad also started an e-shop but the concept is different. Next to products of interest for their readers, they are very active in selling seasonal products or product related to certain actions in their newspapers, events. Both Sanoma and Corelio acre actively developing and evolving their e-commerce model so that it continues to support their media activities.
Meanwhile, book publishers start becoming also retailers.
FW Media from the US for example, is a content creator and marketer of products and services for a specific community/hobby (arts and crafts, hunting and firearms, woodworking, sports, …). They offer a diversified portfolio of books, ebooks, magazines, events, competitions, ecommerce, education, video, and more. They rethought their business model, still focusing on books, but trying to get more out of it. This resulted in launching “all-in” e-stores by hobby (interests) where consumers could find and buy content, online learning but also products.
They have 25+ e-shops and the turnover from online business is expected to become their 2nd most important source of revenue.
E-commercemeanschange of the current business model. Why do you start ane-shop:- Additional sales channel for the current business (e.g. books publisher)- New incomes (e.g. press editors)- Merchandising (tv- and radio stations)
Rethinking your business model is a challenge that sooner or later every company is confronted with.
In order to have a successful move towards e-commerce, you need to do your homework well before you launch your online business:Which type of products are you going to sell? How are they related to your current business and the interests and lifestyle of your customers?What ICT platform are you going to use and how does it integrate with the rest of your systems? Can you sell both digital and physical products? Think about the consumer experience on your webshop.How are you going to bring visitors to your website? Can you use your other communication channels to create a cross-channel communication strategy?How are you going to make sure that consumers buy more and different products from your online portfolio? What kind of sales strategy will you use?How are you going to cope with questions from your customers? What kind of customer support do you want to provide?And last but not least… How are you going to tackle all those things a publisher doesn’t normally have to think about: the warehouse, the order preparation, the delivery of the order to the consumer,...
