Changing Consumer Behaviours

Changing Consumer Behaviours

The retail customer is evolving and so is the shopping journey. The global pandemic has accelerated preferences for safety, and as always convenience and ease remain top of mind for your shoppers driving a rise in digital sales and eCommerce, especially among new or low-frequency consumers. This digital trend is likely to continue post-pandemic and retailers must be prepared to respond quickly.

With the right digital technology for retail, you can accelerate your digital transformation and become a leading retail brand.

Shift your role from worrying about technology performance and other mundane tasks to focus instead on adding value for your customers. iVend Retail can digitally and completely transform your business to give you a competitive advantage amid the disruption.

Technology Built for Today

Retail Digital Technology Built for Today

As retailers strive for increased efficiency, to reinvent the in-store models to be more personalised and convenient, offer additional services, and become increasingly digital, they must build critical capabilities—from people processes to more robust data and analytics infrastructure.

You Can’t Digitise a Dress, But You Can Digitally Transform Your Retail Operations

The transfer of real, physical goods to a consumer can never be digitised, however winning retailers know that digital transformation will impact them like other industries. In the old model, retailers needed to be very good at buying low, selling high, and optimising everything in between. Modern retailers know that gathering data (about products, customers, and locations), turning that data into insights, and then turning those insights into action is the surest way to deliver shoppers the personalised experiences they have come to expect.

  • Identify shopper behaviour on your eCommerce site and use it to deliver a relevant digital ad to that shopper at a later time. If a shopper has spent the most time engaging with your plus-size dress category, you can deliver expanded size-related ads to that person across the internet.
  • Personalise email content to reflect up-to-date information when your email is opened. If a shopper purchased an item or read an article in any channel before he opened an email, your email can avoid recommending that particular item.
  • Promote relevant offers or content in any channel based on a person’s customer or prospect status, industry, customer segment, loyalty program status, etc.

You Can’t Digitise A Dress

World Bicycle Relief, Nairobi

“Our biggest fear was to be able to fully integrate the offsite sales with the head office as well as provide fiscalised receipts to our customers. Hence, we took time before deciding on a sophisticated omnichannel solution like iVend Retail. Our implementation partner Cloudline and CitiXsys made sure that the implementation process was completely hassle free. We have been able to achieve considerable improvements to customer service, inventory visibility and customer satisfaction.”

Stay ahead of the competition. As consumers are reluctant to return to brick-and-mortar, digital retail channels are coming into play more and more to help businesses continue their operations. Digitally-enabled businesses have already started to capture market share by using the pandemic as an opportunity to innovate and attract new customers. As retailers navigate the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, now is the time to revisit an omnichannel approach and accelerate your digital transformation to take on what comes next. Particularly retailers should be using this time to explore options to,

  • Streamline data to access insights about merchandising, sales, and customers
  • Digitise existing channels and introduce new sales approaches
