Retail Trends ai quali forse non hai ancora pensato

AICEX: 3 cose ci hanno incuriosito. 1) essere piccoli sarà un vantaggio 2) gli uomini spendono più delle donne 3) la spesa condivisa complicherà le attività di analisi dei dati e dei programmi loyalty. 

Trends, like rainstorms, can be fairly easy to predict. You look at the current conditions on the radar screen, consider their proximity and can pretty much nail where and when the rain will fall.

This goes for retail events as well as the weather. Consumers increasingly use their mobile devices in the shopping process. They expect more personalized, relevant shopping experiences. They research online and purchase in-store. These practices and preferences have been steadily advancing, so it is easy to predict and prepare for the continuing trends.

However, it’s those events that are just under the radar, those freak storms that come from nowhere, that tend to have a more lasting effect. These under-the-radar trends are also occurring in retail, but with less notice.

Per favore basta con le Customer Journey

AICEX: Talvolta ci sfugge che le Customer Journey sono “un mezzo” e non il fine, al pari di un organigramma o di un elettrocardiogramma. Senza un cardiologo bravo l’elettrocardiogramma serve a poco, e dopo il cardiologo potrebbero servire molti altri specialisti 🙂 

”No more journey maps, please!” was the response of a Chief Customer Officer of an EU telecom company when we asked her about how she and her team went about, well, mapping and measuring customer journeys.

This executive was disappointed with the journey mapping process because she struggled to understand what constituted a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ customer journey map with the tools at her disposal. What should her team focus on first? How could she use the insights from the exercise to design a customer journey that actually works?

AICEX SUMMARY: I Clienti si iscrivono ad un programma loyalty per i vantaggi, ma se poi continuano a farne uso è per le Esperienze.

AMERICANS are both more loyal and more fickle than ever before, judging by the number of customer rewards cards they have and the number they actually use.

Households, on average, hold membership in 29 loyalty programs across the retail, financial services, travel and other industries — that’s a total of 3.3 billion nationwide, up 26 percent from 2013, according to a 2015 reportby Colloquy, a loyalty marketing research company.

But most households use only 12 of those cards, a proportion that has dropped 4.5 percent from 2013.

La IoT è ancora agli inizi nel migliorare la CX

AICEX: Pensiamo si debba aspettare ancora un pochino per vedere effetti sostanziali sul B2C, mentre sul B2B il processo appare più rapido. 

Defining Internet of Things as intelligent interaction between humans and things to exchange data is easy enough, but assessing how and where IoT is playing, or should play, within retail customer experience is a bit more difficult.

Some industry watchers believe IoT remains in a hype stage yet grabbing obvious traction as some companies are boasting billions of connections.

“It’s happening quickly, but, yes it’s hype,” said Jessica Groopman, independent industry analyst and IoT advisor. Groopman was one of three panelists discussing real-life IoT applications during Networld Media Group’s CONNECT Mobile Innovation Summit held in Chicago Aug. 15 -17.
