The Challenge
Consumer retail habits are evolving fast. Up to 90% of consumers now say that the internet influences their purchasing decisions, and a massive 88% of shoppers report that they no longer see value in the in-store retail proposition.
But in-store value remains key. Around 90% of retail sales still come from bricks-and-mortar stores. It is also well acknowledged it is easier for retailers to sell, upsell and build lasting loyalty with consumers who are already in store, with figures showing it can be up to 20 times easier for retailers to convert a sale in-store, than online.
There is clearly a problem here – and an opportunity.
The Solution
Restore the value of the in-store retail proposition. In order to restore the value of offline retail and become truly multi-channel, retailers must capitalise on their online channels to promote and drive uptake of in-store services that cannot be offered online.
Give customers a reason to come in store. By offering services alongside products in store brands can dramatically increase footfall, improve the in-store customer experience and generate increased revenue.
