A profound seismic shift is taking place. This shift is far more revolutionary than the change that has defined retail for the past several decades.
The power in retail has shifted to the consumer. Information and product availability is no longer scarce. We don’t go online, we live online.
Digital channels are becoming central to the consumer’s shopping journey.
Online and offline channels are blurring.
ARE BLURRING
Digital technology and online shopping has changed just about everything that was once solid ground for retail.
These days customers shop differently. Before online revolution product selection was limited to local shops, availability was scarce and best price offers were hard to find.
Now every consumer can order any item on-demand, instantly compare prices and features. Extensive product selection and competitive pricing are no longer an effective strategy to retain customers.
The age of digital disruption demands organizations become more focused on customer experience. New growth tactics must be built around personalized experiences and customers’ trust.
According to latest Deloitte study (see the graph on the left), brands that focus on more personalized service and distinctive shopping experience are growing fastest both short term (one-year) and long term (five-year) period.
