👉 Every day, new startups are emerging with low cost to operate

What Should Retailers Do for Driving a Shopper-First Mindset?

Provide Freshness Along with Speed                    

It is seen that buyers always want new, innovative, and customized products. Freshness, along with speed, is crucial to make the customers loyal to the brand.

This is where traditional marketplaces get ahead.

According to the research, 69% of shoppers are expecting new merchandise at a site. However, brands make their efforts to improve speed and agility rather than product development.

See how we helped Pernod Ricard Turkey to see an increase in visibility into field execution performance in a rapid, cost-effective way through 360 scale digitalization.

Emphasize Speed & Agility

Merchandising agility is accelerating product launch and turnover. In this case, it’s vital to serve new and relevant products on both physical and digital platforms.

As today’s buyers hope to see new products whenever they visit a site or a store, fast & fresh retailing in all channels is essential for brands.

Segment & Analyze Customer Value

In the pre-digital age, marketers analyzed customer value through recency, frequency, and monetary (PFM) model for implementing segmentation strategies. Recency was generally the most important because recent buyers are more likely to buy again.

Recency is still essential today as buyers make a second purchase within 16 days of their first. However, the survey shows that while half of the customers purchase a product through a retailer, 47% of them choose to buy from marketplaces for repeat purchases.

To prevent this, retargeting, personalized loyalty offers and perfectly timed upsell opportunities should be prioritized for re-engagement by brand leaders.

Concentrating on loyalty and personalization is critical to sustaining a good relationship with customers.

Customize Exclusive Products

Brands need to touch buyers’ values and interests by creating exceptional products for them!

59% of shoppers are more likely to buy from brands with customized products.

Similarly, 49% of them prefer to buy from brands making limited edition products.

This is where brands can compete with the giants by making buyers feel valuable.
