Stores Under Siege: Balancing Sales, Service and Execution in an All-Channel ...RedPrairie
Traditional bricks-and-mortar stores are still the primary way people acquire merchandise. As physical retailers’ extension into a multi-channel world grows – along with consumers’ expectations – the pressure on retail stores to be the heartbeat of an all-channel customer experience has never been greater. Making the most of every dollar invested in labor is critical to ensuring optimal service levels, timely task execution, maximum revenue and loyalty-building store visits.
In this presentation, Dave Bruno, Director of Commerce Studies for RedPrairie, explores the latest research into the challenges facing modern retail workforce managers and discusses modern techniques that many leading companies leverage to engage, empower and mobilize their workforce to deliver optimal all-channel store experiences.
Successfully Conquering New Markets Using E-CommerceMoritz Koch
The document discusses how e-commerce can help companies conquer new markets. It outlines both opportunities like finding new customers and promoting new products, as well as challenges such as understanding foreign behaviors and managing costs effectively. A three-step process for international e-commerce projects is then presented: research the market potential and competitors, build a multi-lingual and multi-regional platform, and rollout and optimize the platform locally. Outsourcing e-commerce to a company like next commerce can help manage these complexities.
Constant consideration-study research-studiesJérémy Jeremy
Most vehicle shoppers form an initial consideration set before actively researching brands online or in-market. While in-market, many shoppers switch to or discover the brand they ultimately purchase, with digital tools becoming the primary research sources. Those considering multiple brands are younger, wealthier, and more likely to research across devices and locations. Reaching these open-minded shoppers requires meeting them across screens with engaging content like video.
Smarter Customer Analytics - Customer DNAJerry J. Stam
This document summarizes a case study of how a major US retailer used customer analytics to optimize their marketing budget. It involved (1) building a data-driven customer profile, (2) applying customer insights to optimize spending across channels, regions, and customers. Advanced customer clustering analyzed over 30 variables to segment customers into 12 highly differentiated groups with tailored marketing strategies, such as a "Brand Fanatics" group that represented 9% of customers but 30% of revenue.
This document discusses multichannel customer journeys and engagement. It begins with an agenda that covers why customer engagement is important, the results of a survey on customer journeys, and real world examples. The survey found that social media recommendations influence younger consumers' purchasing decisions. It also found that responses to emails, good websites, phone calls, and recommendations on social media can influence customers to complete or abandon purchases. Customers prefer different channels for help, with younger consumers more likely to use online channels like chat.
The debate and doubt is long over. Gone are the days when an e-commerce division
was the lonely stepchild of a merchant’s business, clamoring to prove its value.
e-Commerce has fully stepped up to assume its rightful place as a critical growth
channel for businesses in just about every industry. And now, with the emergence of
social and mobile commerce, and the continuing integration of these channels with
physical stores and contact centers, the e-commerce infrastructure has gone from
fringe to foundation. e-Commerce platforms are becoming cross-channel platforms,
serving as the core engine powering an entire cross-channel commerce operation. With
this evolution business managers need to think strategically about how to engage, sell
to, and serve customers across all established and emerging channels and devices.

[Executive summary] Digital Shopper RelevancyCapgemini
Digital shoppers can be segmented into six distinct groups based on their behaviors and attitudes toward digital channels. The largest segments vary by country and product category. Digital Shopaholics and Social Digital Shoppers dominate in developing markets like India and China, while Rational Online Shoppers are most common in mature markets. Significant differences also exist between developing and mature markets, as digital channels play a greater role across all shopping phases in developing areas.
Digital shopper relevancy__Executive_Summary_Miguel Garcia
Digital shoppers can be segmented into six distinct groups based on their behaviors and attitudes toward digital technologies. The segments range from Techno-Shy Shoppers who are not interested in digital channels, to Digital Shopaholics who are early adopters that actively use digital across all shopping phases. Differences exist between developing and mature markets, with developing markets having more Digital Shopaholics and Social Digital Shoppers. The document provides insights into each segment and how they vary by demographics, geography, and shopping preferences.
42 percent of Americans are using social media to shop – this equates to nearly 95 million social shoppers in the U.S. – and that number continues to rise. In fact, when asked how often social media is used to shop today versus a year ago, almost 73 percent of people confirmed they are using it more.
SocialShop – a national quantitative and qualitative research study – looks at social media usage from the eyes of a shopper to understand the influence each respective platform has on a person’s buying behavior.
From Facebook and Twitter to YouTube and Groupon, people of all ages are using social networking sites and other user-generated content platforms as shopping tools. In fact, SocialShop found 42 percent of social shoppers are using Facebook more than they were a year ago, while 55 percent of shoppers are utilizing daily deals more and 46 percent of shoppers have increased engagement on review sites and forums.
With rapid expansion of social channels and the frequent launch of new platforms, brands and marketers are trying to figure out how to successfully use social media to connect with shoppers. According to the research, success is not measured by visibility on all social media channels, but by leveraging the strengths of platforms that cater to your shoppers’ needs.

Losing Loyalty: The Consumer Defection DilemmaTodd Morris
The document discusses a study on consumer brand loyalty and defection in the consumer packaged goods industry. Some key findings include: 1) Over half of highly loyal consumers reduced loyalty or defected to other brands the following year, costing brands significantly. 2) On average, a third of a brand's highly loyal consumers defected to other category brands. 3) Precision marketing that engages at-risk consumers can help improve loyalty and retention. The study suggests brands must work to understand and prevent defections, especially of high-value consumers, in order to remain profitable.
In this presentation Douglas & Breitner presented its vision on how the online channel plays a role in the process from attracting visitors online to seduce them to testdrive a vehicle with a dealer.

The document analyzes and compares several fonts for their suitability for an album cover and digipak. The first font is deemed the best as it is bold with italics, which will make it stand out to target audiences who prefer eye-catching designs. The second font is considered too thin despite italics, and the third is the weakest as it is small and hard to read due to being italic and cursive. While later fonts have merits, they are not bold enough to catch viewers' eyes from a distance like the first font can.

Managing Customer Experience in Multichannel Environmentscreuna_fi
Customers are shopping everywhere today – at home, on the subway, anywhere they feel like doing it. How can you make the most of your customers' interaction to give them the best possible experience on your shopping site regardless if it's in a browser, on a mobile phone or on a tablet?
Rob in der Maur, Digital Marketing Specialist, Adobe
The document discusses the rise of connected customers known as Generation C and how their behaviors are changing how businesses must adapt. It notes that Generation C expects born digital experiences across all screens and scenarios. The key aspects are that customers now have greater social influence, businesses must focus on attention and relevance, and the customer journey is more dynamic with multiple moments of truth influenced by shared experiences.
The document discusses innovations in digital customer experiences in retail and how those innovations could impact the future of car buying experiences. It provides examples of interactive digital displays being used by brands like UGG, Neiman Marcus, and Ford to enhance customers' ability to learn about, customize, and virtually experience products. While car shopping currently lacks these kinds of engaging digital tools, the document argues that dealerships will need to integrate more immersive digital technologies to improve the experience as buyers increasingly begin their research online. Interactive kiosks were presented as one approach dealerships could use to bring digital experiences directly into car showrooms, inventory areas, service departments and other parts of the customer journey.

Are Your CPG Brands Maximizing the Return on Your Digital Investment?dunnhumby
CPG manufacturers have invested millions of dollars in their brand websites and social media presence, yet they struggle to show how their digital marketing investments are influencing brand purchases in stores.
Accenture, comScore and dunnhumbyUSA presented their groundbreaking study on the link between consumers’ usage of brand websites and their brand purchases in retail stores at the 2012 LEAD Marketing Conference in Chicago.
Consumers are smarter today than ever before. In fact, today's consumers own your brand. Their shopping expectations are higher, they make decisions faster, and they research thoroughly and independently. Consumers also know they have a lot of choice regarding when and where to purchase.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
