Retailers now need to perform two roles - sitting on both sides of the table
As curators acting on behalf of customers
Sitting on the customer side
of the table facing suppliers
As product distributors for suppliers
Sitting on the supplier side
of the table facing consumers
This is challenging complexity and creating opportunity for increasing sales and driving profits
Acting as customer curators
Retailers are becoming more customer centric
We are finding customers in most retailers fall into 3 segments, VIPs, Regulars and Casual. VIPs and Regular customers count for 70% of your revenue
Engaging with core customers (VIPs and regulars) both digitally and face to face allows retailers to increase sales without significant increases in marketing expenditure.
Getting core customers to shop 10-20% more doubles your profits
As product distributors, retailers are increasing channels
Managing assortment and stock across channels is becoming increasingly complex
Product assortments need to be both channel and customer relevant, increasing product ranges to meet channel and customer demand invariably increases stock risk
Digital engagement with customers is now a necessity
The world is going mobile, so it is possible to engage digitally with all of your customers
Digital engagement is designed to support customer retention, boost loyalty and increase the number of times a customer shops with you
Offering memberships, subscriptions, chat, appointments, curated lookbooks, digital wallets, promotional rewards, banking and credit services.
Digital engagement with suppliers is also a necessity
Supplier collaboration is essential as vertical integration can lead to uniqueness
It facilitates, speed of innovation
It opens up the possibility for creating marketplaces
