Editor's Notes
- #4 If you believe what you read then you should be working on …
- #5 But if you heard … then you are not alone.
- #6 The reality is that people still buy from people. Gone are the days of the corner shop where The shop keeper knew you Stocked the things you liked Knew which products should be running low.
- #7 Over £1B is spent annually on merchandising and POS Let’s see how well these brands do … You know what you are going to get whenever you go into one of these shops If you go into a Gap you know that: Greet Hi How are you today? Anything I can help you with? Let me help you find that in your size. Let me find something else to go with that. Show what other people are trying on Point out in store promos Too busy? I can hold that behind the till for you. Upsell on the till Ask for email address on the till. Thank you. Come again.
- #8 So what about the buying phase? People buy from people but digital has totally removed the human element. Think about the last time your bought something online from a store other than Amazon. Are you sure it wasn’t Amazon? Every Checkout looks like Amazon, else there will be a high abandon rate during the purchase process. And that highlights the problem. If every check-out process looks like Amazon, then they quickly become sterile and anonymous. You can take your logo and switch it out with any of your competitors and your customer will not know the difference. So we need to differentiate ourselves by removing the sterility and being more human. It is simple stuff like saying “Thank You.” We conducted some research on 60 top UK and US online brands and were shocked to find that the vast majority were not even doing the basics like: Sending a thank you message when somebody buys something or registers on your website Most brands send order conformation emails but they come out of the eCommerce platform and are therefor not tracked in any way and are frankly never on brand The best shipping conformation came from the shipper not the company from whom we bought the product. The list goes on. We spend so much time being digital marketers that we forget that all we are really trying to accomplish is human interactions – at scale.
- #9 The bricks and mortar journey can be broken into four main parts…
- #10 I have typed this out for you.
- #13 While on the face of it this looks like a short form, would they have been better asking for details that could be used to deliver a richer experience rather than focussing on creating an account
- #14 Just because you think something is a benefit doesn’t mean that it is.
- #15 They follow that email up one day later but… No personalisation CTA drives reader to “explore” the website but that is where I was when I signed up They could have asked about my interests to make the email and web presence more tailored to me – Net-A-Porter does this very well.
- #18 This is great for an abandoned basket email and checks all the boxes BUT an abandoned browse email needs to be a little more subtle In a shop, you know that a shop assistant spoke with you and helped you browse In ecommerce, customers know (they are not stupid) but they forget You can easily cross into the creepy factor
- #21 This hits all of the key points but By changing the design the could more prominently feature recommended products They ask about the experience but in reality the most important part of the experience is yet to occur Was the product delivered when expected? Was the product delivered in good condition?
- #22 Shipping confirmation emails are tricky In a break from trend want to call out a good thing about this email Gant has used their brand on the shipping confirmation sent by the shipper This is the best news of the journey and too often ecommerce brands miss out on the good feeling If your delivery partner is Good – they can get some or all of the credit Bad – you get all of the blame
- #24 You can tell when a customer is dissatisfied in a shop – online it is not so obvious But the old rule of thumb is still true A customer will tell 5 people about a good experience And 25 people about a bad experience But in today’s world it is not about how many people they tell but how willing they are to post about it on Facebook For this email, a couple of things to think about On-line shoppers shop on-line a lot they might not remember the transaction you are asking about so give them as many clues as possible Brand Product details Product image Be careful about over surveying – don’t be that annoying friend that is always looking for validation
- #25 Product replenishment sounds great in the abstract and is easy if you sell one or maybe just a few products. But think about a retailor who sells hair and beauty products (clearly something I don’t know anything about) If I buy a number of products that will al run out at different times How do I manage the customers inbox How do I fit this in with my other marketing materials
- #26 Offline, retention starts before the customer even enters the shop.
