If you’re a retail leader looking for fresh ways to win back the modern customer – this book is for you.
Have you been spending more than ever on marketing, but feel your customers are responding less? Have you been generous with your customers, giving them bigger discounts, loyalty programs, the best-trained staff and helpful emails, but you still don’t get a response – no engagement?
Engagement is paramount for any type of retailer. In fact according to the Rosetta Customer Engagement Survey,
“highly engaged customers buy 90% more frequently, spend 60% more per transaction and have 3x the annual value compared to non-highly engaged customers.”
Recent psychological and sociological research indicates a huge swell of isolation, narcissism and anxiety and this plays a large role in how and why people shop and buy.
As retailers, we must design our in-store experience with these new findings at heart. Those who can’t empathise and respond to the modern customers’ problems will be left behind.
