COMMITTED TO MEETING INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF OUR RETAIL CUSTOMERS Technology is bringing radical changes to how people shop in today s environment. As consumers become savvier, they are increasingly taking charge of their shopping experience, identifying and leveraging many different sources of information and channels to optimize the different elements of their shopping journey. Customers are more demanding than ever with growing expectations for a personalized service and offers, tailored directly for their needs. Retailers now understand that IT is crucial to delivering and meeting these expectations. Retailers are trying to scale up to multiple challenges and support seamless integration among and between each of the channels, including access to assortment, customers information and order information. Todays retailers are moving beyond transactions to more deeply understand the customers shopping journey while improving their existing operational performance and achieving sustainable growth. 3
Conclusive research over the years has identified a clear linkage between overall customer satisfaction and retailer performance across many retail categories. The average business loses around 20 percent of its customers annually by simply failing to attend to customer relationships. In retail industry this leakage is as high as 50-80 percent. On the other hand recent reports reveal that more than 50 percent of all revenue is generated by repeat customers. So logically, retailers can achieve better profit margins if they can comparatively lower their investments on customer acquisition and focus on more cost effective customer retention. Research also shows that person-to-person interactions added significant value to the customer experience - more so than other factors. By leveraging CRM technology and practices, retailers can provide end-to-end customer service which contributes to the customer experience and ultimately, profit margins. 4
