retail every single consumer feels like the shopping journey was tailored just for them. Personalisation & a store for one To accommodate the future of retail journeys, we provide solutions designed to extend beyond omnichannel offerings and enable a store for one – a connected commerce approach that is completely centred around the consumer. Obtaining a holistic view of your consumer data and being able to utilise this data to deliver personalised experiences is the crux of the store for one, and there are a number of components to the approach that must be considered: 1. Capture all relevant data about your consumer 2. Use the right tools to help you recognise consumers based on uniquely identifiable data e.g. using facial recognition 3. Process the data appropriately to understand who your consumer is, and what they’re looking for, in the moment 4. Interact in real time, while your consumer is in shopping mode 5. Offer the right incentives to attract individual consumers 6. Quickly analyse their behaviour to determine a real-time course of action. 7. Optimise each engagement through smart feedback loops that help further enrich the consumer’s profile This approach is just as relevant for bricks and mortar retailers as it is for online shopping experiences. A leading cosmetics retailer, for example, incorporated personalisation into the store experience with fragrance and makeup kiosks that help consumers discover new products that meet their unique preferences. They’ve also implemented beacons to recognise consumers who use their app, and offer a monthly subscription box that’s mailed to consumers’ homes which includes information about in-store events. The company has thoughtfully intertwined physical and digital channels to provide a seamless shopping experience. n KIOSK solutions 15
