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.

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.

CX Omnichannel ancora “lenta” per Finanza, Salute, Pharma e Servizi Governativi

AICEX SUMMARY: L’analisi è relativa agli USA ma anche in Europa la situazione è simile.

The omnichannel customer experience is nothing new, especially in the consumer and retail industries. Many companies and brands are using data and automation technologies to engage seamlessly with their customers at any time and place and across any device.

At the same time, omnichannel doesn’t mean digitizing every aspect of the customer journey without regard to which channel is best-suited for customer needs at each stage. The recent news of Google Compare shutting down is a great example of this.

The search engine giant’s entry into — and quick exit from — financial services proves one thing: Even with all the data and insights in the world, customer value is not based solely on price or convenience. Rather, “comprehensive answers” related to insurance, mortgage and other financial products are largely best served by professionals who can provide high-touch interactions with customers across channels, online and off.

Il nuovo standard del Retail: Esperienze vs Prodotti

AICEX SUMMARY: The US economy remains consumption-driven, but that consumption is moving to travel, entertainment and health care, and away from clothing and electronics.

It is becoming almost cliché to say that today’s shopper prefers experiences over things. In advertisements for its “Tiny House” series, HGTV quotes a millennial couple saying “We prefer experiences over things and don’t want all our money invested in our house.” Fade to a photo of the couple standing in front of the Louvre, and then back to their tiny house.

Cliché or not, the data is starting to prove out the statement. The US economy remains consumption-driven, but that consumption is moving to travel, entertainment and health care, and away from clothing and electronics. I’m certainly doing my part, deferring the purchase of a new iPad while taking a trip out to Los Angeles to see Adele (the concert package cost silly money, but was worth every single penny, if you’re wondering) and visit with some friends I hadn’t seen in half a lifetime.
