Consent, Preference, & Insight Data for Retail
Leverage consent, preference, & insight data to enhance customer experiences in the retail sector.
With personalization, you can drive new and returning shoppers - whether through e-commerce, brick & mortar, or both.
ADAPT
The Retail Industry Is Changing Rapidly
Retail customers expect to be able to search, browse, and shop over their preferred digital channel, at any time of day. This expectation is driven by the emergence of new disruptive digital e-commerce options, overnight delivery, and hassle free returns that challenges traditional brick-and-mortar stores. According to a 2023 survey by Square, businesses report that 43% of revenue comes from digital sales – but that 81% of retailers are planning to expand their digital channel options over the next year.
As the industry evolves, retailers must be prepared to not only keep up, but draw ahead of the competition. The best way is by enabling your business to deliver personalized and connected customer experiences, based on individual preferences (e.g., items of interest, quantities, color options, sizes, and more) to expand customer engagement.
INTERESTS
Incentivize Customers to Share Their Interests
As the retail industry shifts more towards digital experiences, tailoring your messaging to your customers’ interests is crucial.
Motivating customers to share their preferences allows you to personalize your content, increasing the likelihood of a purchase and their repeat business. But individualizing messages is increasingly difficult due to the depreciation of third-party cookies and the inaccuracy of big data. So, to ensure shoppers return, provide the ability and motivation for customers to easily share which of your offerings are of interest and their preferred communication channel via preference centers, websites, mobile devices, email opt-down pages, and service centers.
- Consider the myriad ways customers engage: It’s no longer solely in-store or online, but across social media, streaming platforms, mobile, desktop, and more.
- Design opt-down pages rather than global opt-outs, allowing customers to state preferred methods of communication, topics and interests, frequency, and more.
- Provide value in return, tailoring engagement to what matters most to the customer, incentives, and first looks to entice them to return again.
