Improving consumer conversion rates, personalizing marketing strategies to raise sales, predicting and avoiding customer churn, and lowering customer acquisition costs are some of the main challenges for retail firms. These can be addressed with more in-depth, data-driven insights into the consumer. Today, however, customers can connect with their companies through a variety of channels, including smartphones, social media, shops, e-commerce sites, and others. This significantly increases the scope and variety of data that one will have to collect and analyze.
When all of this data is collected and analyzed, it will provide information that one may not have considered before, such as identifying their high-value consumers, their motivations for purchasing, their purchasing habits and behaviors, and the channels to sell to them and when. Having these comprehensive insights increases the likelihood of consumer acquisition and can improve their loyalty to businesses.
Personalizing In-Store Experience
Merchandising has always been considered an art form in the past, synonymous with aesthetics and not much else, due to the lack of a fool-proof and accurate way to quantify the precise impact of merchandising decisions. With the significant rise in online purchases, a modern shopping format has arisen in which the buyer physically researches the desired items in-store before purchasing them online.
New methods for analyzing in-store behavior and assessing the effects of merchandising efforts have emerged as a result of the development of people-tracking technology. A data engineering framework can be of great assistance to retailers in optimizing merchandising tactics. They can personalize the in-store experience to build and drive loyalty by offering incentives to regular customers to make more purchases, resulting in higher sales across all channels.
