THE FULLY INTEGRATED STRATEGY Amazon and others now opening bricks and mortar stores The integration of the various strategies. Farmers and Kmart have recently launched online sites The decline of catalogues The search for online deals and information Major Australian survey said 60% of Australians are considering or planning online shopping sales 86% listed price is the most important factor followed by conveniencing 41% were using online sites purely for pricing not purchasing This gives good retailers the opportunity to provide a strong online presence with information and to convert browsers into customers at their bricks and mortar Case study health post online then B&M 2014 – 75% growth from B&M
THE EXPERIENCE Stores must create emotion – an experience – an event They must create a reason to go there “Customer experience will Social interaction overtake price and product as the key Critical mass brand differentiator by the year 2020” Branding They must want to come here The integrated strategy with online sites, websites, Facebook, Instagram create a reason to go to “the experience” Socialising – people are gregarious. The desire to be fond of others company
TOP TIPS Chore shopping will become easier online, but the demand for “cherish” retail will get stronger Personalisation and customisation of products will prosper. Not just a name but an example is Dresden Eyewear. Providing the world with unique and stylish eyewear made to suit Retailers who step up their social media strategies will survive. Modernise. Don’t simply post some photos or updates, but use the networks and tell stories and engage with the customer. Example Birchbox – uses Facebook Live to share content and engage with fans Data will drive retail decisions. Not just the big boys. Smaller players can leverage data and gain insights using sophisticated retail reporting
TOP TIPS Healthy and environmentally friendly lifestyles will be the focus for many consumers Retail store formats will become much more diverse with the everything fits one traditional format to decline Focus on what makes you different – the difference is being different. Don’t try and imitate Amazon. Provide exceptional personalised customer experience and service Provide an indispensable human experience
SUMMARY The rise of the conscious consumer will continue The provision of the experience will ensure bricks and mortar retail will continue to flourish It’s all about how well you adapt Use your online to create a desire for a B&M experience
