Today’s buyers expect personalized, 1:1 experiences tailored to their wants and needs. They’re inundated by marketing messages through digital ads, social media, and email, so only the most relevant campaigns capture their attention. The rest are at best ignored and at worst blocked. To cut through the noise, marketers need to know more about the people they’re marketing to.

Today’s digitally savvy customers have high expectations of retailers for convenience, responsiveness, and ease of doing business both in-store and online. Our recent survey of over 2,000 US consumers found that retailers that can drive a seamless, omnichannel customer experience (CX) – across physical and digital channels – have huge benefits for brand relevance, profitability, and customer loyalty.

You do nothing more than talk to customers on the phone and punch some information into a keypad. Sounds cool, sign me up! But wait a minute, there’s more…much more.

Humans disappoint one another. We do it all the time. We disappoint when we don’t show up for someone’s big event. Or maybe we disappoint when we do show up at an intimate dinner party without an invitation. We disappoint each other by saying what we think or by not speaking up when we should. It’s tricky, this human experience of ours.

Introduction. We’ve heard it so many times it’s become a cliché: “The early bird catches the worm.”. For retailers, this old saying rings tried-and-true. After all, it’s never too early to get ready for the shopping season. Holiday sales can represent anywhere between 20 and 30 percent of annual sales for retail businesses.
