Omni-channel Retail - Bridging the Digital and Brick & Mortar DivideAdrian Teo
Ok, so you have a website, facebook page, even mobile apps, but how is that helping you to engage your consumers when you need it most… when they are at your outlets!
I mean how do you drive footfall and sales from digital to your brick & mortar channels? How do you identify your consumers, personalized that engagement and get them to buy before they step out?
And we don’t mean spamming everyone with the same promotion at that outlet, but personalized according to their profiles, transaction history and location. Better yet, it’s all automated, you really don’t want to be pouring through and interpreting heaps of customer data.
In this presentation, I share the challenges faced by retailers, shop owners, F&B and mall operators in bridging the digital and brick & mortar divide. While each solution is unique to your retail business, vertical or consumer behaviours, it is about breaking down the silos that exist in your consumer touch points, enterprise solutions, best practices and how TAO OF SHOP can help you to bring it all together.
Digital retailing is capturing headlines and inspiring spirited debate as retailers plan how best to invest for future success. But beyond the headlines, physical stores remain the foundation of retailing, evidenced by the fact that 90 percent of all retail sales are transacted in stores and 95 percent of all retail sales are captured by retailers with a brick-and-mortar presence.
A multi-channel business utilizes various channels in a customer's shopping experience such as retail stores, websites, mobile apps, social media, telephone sales and print media. For a travel company like TUI, this means being present wherever customers search for travel information and providing a seamless experience across all touchpoints. Both customers and TUI face challenges in a multi-channel environment but opportunities exist for TUI to enhance the customer experience through personalized service, rapid response times and continuous innovation.
The document discusses the future of online grocery shopping in the UK. It predicts that online grocery sales will increase dramatically over the next decade and will represent 40% of total grocery sales by 2025. This growth will be driven by factors like personalization of the online shopping experience and the increasing comfort of all generations with online shopping. Retailers can benefit from this growth by increasing revenue through higher online penetration and conversion rates, building loyalty, and improving targeted advertising. The key to growth is personalizing the online experience for each shopper.

Multichannel retailing involves selling merchandise through more than one sales channel, such as stores, catalogs, and the internet. Retailers are moving toward this approach to leverage the unique benefits of each channel and attract more customers. Some key benefits include broader product selections online, convenience of shopping from catalogs, and the ability to see and touch products in stores. Successful multichannel retailers provide seamless shopping experiences across all channels and find ways to integrate their operations.

Omni Channel Best Practices Guide by RaymarkRaymark
Omni-channel retail is getting a lot of buzz these days. For good reason: consumers are shopping in new ways, and they expect to relate with brands on their own terms, whenever, wherever and however they desire. Faced with a world of options at their fingertips, gaining consumer loyalty can be an uphill battle. In this guide, Raymark explores the best practices retailers must consider when implementing omni-channel point of sale, clienteling and other retail systems.
For more information, visit www.raymark.com.
Omni-channel retailing has become essential for retailers to meet evolving customer expectations of a consistent shopping experience across channels. Retailers must adopt an omni-channel strategy to provide seamless order fulfillment, inventory visibility, and a single view of each customer. However, legacy systems and operational silos make it difficult for many retailers to fully realize an omni-channel approach. Sonata Software helps retailers overcome these challenges and power digital transformations through solutions like cross-channel order fulfillment, unified customer profiles, and analytics.
At every touchpoint, physical or digital, your customer is forming a single opinion on the value of their experience. As customers don't live in channels, global retailers have started moving beyond Omni-Channel strategies that, in many cases, focused on the channels as an end point rather than providing a true seamless experience.
During his Australian Retail Tour, Josh Sigel (former CIO of Natural Markets Food Group) shared how he created ‘Multiplex Retailing’ to improve customer value and sales by revolutionising the way customers buy groceries and cooked meals.
Key Takeaways:
-Point of Sale is going away and will become a value added Point of Experience
-Channel based solutions will be integrated to create Multiplex brand experiences
-Embrace Innovation or Face Elimination – Innovation within retail will not be a choice, it will be a necessity in order to survive

The document discusses how the fashion industry is adapting to meet the demands of omni-channel retail and empowered consumers. It introduces the concept of "omninomics" - how the fashion value chain has evolved into an interconnected network to collaborate and provide seamless shopping experiences across channels. It provides examples of how companies like Bonobos are personalizing experiences through both physical stores and digital channels to better understand customers, create improved products, and drive higher online conversions. The key is for all partners across the value chain to work together using shared data to quickly get the right products to consumers through their preferred channels.

Branding in Omni-Channel Environment: Fashion Industry of BangladeshAhsanul Kabir Palash
Omni channel marketing offers marketers and retailers a holistic approach to reaching consumers with a more integrated message, through any channel and at any point in their path to purchase.
Interaction with brands has become nonlinear and shaped by many interactions across several touch points. The interconnectivity between these touch points is called omni-channel.
This document discusses how technology can enhance service quality in retail shops. It aims to deliver consistent customer experiences across channels, facilitate consumer engagement on their preferred channels, and create seamless journeys. Technology like mobile alerts, virtual dressing rooms, and digital associates can integrate physical and online shopping. By understanding customer needs and using communication channels, expenditure on customer service can be reduced. Omni-channel retailing uses various shopping channels and provides marketers data to deliver targeted messages.
Multi-channel marketing allows retailers to reach customers through multiple sales channels. The document discusses various retail channels including internet, catalog, direct selling, television home shopping, and automated retailing. It also covers the benefits of using a multi-channel approach, such as overcoming limitations of individual channels, increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty, and gaining insights into customer shopping behavior. Some challenges of effective multi-channel retailing mentioned are providing an integrated shopping experience, managing different distribution needs and information systems, and reducing channel migration.
Marketing channels help facilitate the exchange of goods between producers and consumers by reducing the number of transactions needed. They fill gaps in time, space, quantity, and variety between production and consumption. Common types of distribution channels include retailer channels, wholesaler channels, agent/broker channels, and direct channels. Managing channel relationships and potential conflicts is important for effective multichannel distribution.
The document discusses marketing channels and supply chain management. It covers topics like distribution channels, why companies use channels instead of direct sales, examples of common channels like wholesalers and retailers, and challenges around channel conflict. It also discusses omnichannel retailing, factors in channel choice, and key functions in a supply chain like transportation, inventory management, and warehousing.

This document discusses multi-channel retailing and the benefits it provides. Multi-channel retailers sell through more than one sales channel to exploit the unique benefits of each channel. Using multiple channels allows retailers to increase sales, overcome limitations of individual channels, and expand their customer base. Effective multi-channel retailing requires integrating operations across channels to provide a seamless customer experience.
Wal-Mart uses an efficient direct distribution channel system to supply its stores. It operates several regional distribution centers that can deliver goods to stores within one day using advanced logistics techniques. This saturation strategy allows Wal-Mart to consolidate orders and take advantage of bulk purchasing discounts. The company's satellite network and focus on lowering supply chain costs have been key to its competitive advantage and success.
Wal-Mart uses an efficient distribution system to supply its stores. It operates distribution centers that are strategically located within a day's drive of the stores they supply. Using cross-docking and other techniques, the distribution centers are able to quickly receive and ship goods to stores. This just-in-time system, supported by Wal-Mart's transportation fleet and technology infrastructure, allows it to keep prices low by reducing costs. Wal-Mart's Remix initiative further streamlines this supply chain by consolidating vendors' shipments into full truckloads for more efficient transport. This program changes vendors' logistics responsibilities and requires coordination with third-party providers.
Non-store retailing involves sales made directly to consumers without using physical stores. It includes direct marketing, direct selling, vending machines, and e-tailing. Non-store retailing appeals to time-constrained consumers and is growing faster than store-based retail. It accounts for over 15% of consumer purchases currently. Common forms of non-store retailing include direct selling, direct marketing, direct response marketing, catalog marketing, telemarketing, and e-commerce. Non-store retailing has advantages of lower costs than physical stores and a global reach, but also risks of credit card fraud and connectivity issues.
Multichannel retailing involves selling merchandise through multiple retail channels, such as physical stores, internet, catalogues, television shopping, and automated retailing. Retailers benefit from multichannel strategies by overcoming limitations of individual channels, increasing customer satisfaction, gaining consumer insights, and expanding their market presence. However, multichannel retailers face issues in providing an integrated customer experience across channels and managing different channel costs. Organizing for multichannel retailing requires decisions around integrating or separating channel operations and maintaining consistent branding and pricing across all retail formats.
E-tailing refers to the selling of retail goods online. It allows companies to sell products to customers virtually without needing a physical storefront. E-tailing has grown significantly in recent years and enabled the development of software tools to help companies create online catalogs and manage the online sales process. Some benefits of e-tailing include reducing business costs and space needs while increasing accessibility of products to customers. However, e-tailing also lacks some of the experiential and sensory aspects of in-person shopping.
Retailers are moving toward multi-channel retailing by using stores, catalogs, and the internet to leverage the unique benefits of each channel. Each channel provides different benefits to customers - stores allow browsing, touching items, and immediate gratification, while catalogs provide convenience and information. The internet provides broader selection, more product information, and personalization. By integrating these channels, retailers can provide customers a seamless shopping experience across all channels. The key to success is creating an integrated experience that makes shopping easy and provides consistent customer service regardless of the channel.
Creating an Omnichannel Supply Chain for BrandsMichael Hu
Branded manufacturers can take advantage of the unprecedented omnichannel opportunity to get closer to the consumer, if they manage to acquire the requisite fulfilment and supply chain capabilities. European Business Review
Direct marketing has become highly technology-intensive, leveraging various digital channels. Email marketing generates the highest return on investment of any marketing channel. Interactive TV allows two-way communication between viewers and advertisers. Infomercials are long-form commercials well-suited to demonstrating products priced over $39.95. Home shopping channels provide a televised shopping experience for consumers. The internet further expands direct marketing opportunities through email, social media, online advertising, personalized websites, and more.

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.

• 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
Industrial Tech SW: Category Renewal and CreationChristian Dahlen
Every industrial revolution has created a new set of categories and a new set of players.
Multiple new technologies have emerged, but Samsara and C3.ai are only two companies which have gone public so far.
Manufacturing startups constitute the largest pipeline share of unicorns and IPO candidates in the SF Bay Area, and software startups dominate in Germany.

books)

17. Which Channel has the lowest
cost?
Electronic or Store??????
Store!!!
Why?
18. Disintermediation
Whena manufacturer sells directly to
consumers, bypassing the retailers.
They lack the skills and are less efficient at
performing retailing functions.
Retailers can provide a broader array of
products and services.
Some manufacturer’s use their website as a
marketing tool to show customers their
available products.
19. Challenges of Effective
Multichannel Retailing
Retailers can benefit from
using multichannel
synergistically. They do this
by using one channel to
promote the service
offered by the other
channels.
Retailers can benefit by
using their stores as
“warehouses” for pick or
delivery of items ordered
online.
20. Providing an Integrated
Shopping Experience
Operational differences cause many
multichannel retailers to have separate
organizations for each channel. However,
the trend is to integrate these channels
together to make sure that when there is
a sale or discount that each channel has
the same sale or discount.

2 important issues that multichannel retailers face are……
Although you may think that electronic would be the cheaper it indeed can be even more expensive then the store channel. Why??? Because the retailer incurs significant costs to design maintain and refresh a website. They must attract customers to their site and maintain distribution systems and warehouses dedicated to fulfilling orders from customers. They also deal with a high level of returns.
Will manufacturer’s do this? Most won’t because………………………first dash…………………and because retailers have more expertise and are good at collecting and using info about costumers. …………………second dash………..
Consumers want to recognized by a retailer wheather they interact with a sales associate or kiosk in a store, log onto their website or contact their call center. They want to buy online but pick up or return in store.
This is a challenge for retailers because it takes unique skills and resources to manage each channel.
Due to the rapid growth of mobile phone usage and shopping via your mobile phone it is important that multichannel retailers support this but since most retailers websites don’t accomidate the small screen and slower download speeds of a cell phone this is something that is being worked on. To the right is an example of an I phone app from Macy’s called Macy’s Ishop. From this app you can shop just like you would if you were on a regular computer.
Customer databases are used to house complete history of each customers interaction with the retailer. This helps create a seamless experience for the customer. Retailers need to offer a consistent brand image for all of their channels. Typical different assortments of products are appropriate for each different channel. For example for some retailers the clothes they offer online might be different or of more assortment then what they offer in store. This usually happens because they offer more product then what they have space for in a store front. Pricing presents another challenge for multichannel retailers bc customers want pricing to be consistent among each different channel. However multichannel retailers have to adjust their pricing due to different kinds of competition in different channels. This can also cause some challenges bc with the technology we have today people can do price checking online. Channel migration is when a consumer goes to say walmart.com and finds a product they want but then purchases the product from target.com because of multiple reasons. Cheaper shipping or cheaper prices. Two ways to reduce this are to offer uniquely relevant info based on the proprietary data the retailer has collected about the customer and promote private label merchandise that can be purchased only from the retailer.
