CASE STUDY CONCLUSION

22

Sales increase steadily over 5 year period

Net income shows slight dip 2012/2013 due to rising production costs softening sales in Asia

Net income soars 27% in 2014 after investment in Burberry World LIVE

Not since the Industrial Revolution have

we seen such dramatic change in the social landscape

We examine the steps to a seamless customer journey, what should and could retailer be offering online and in retail stores. How to identify the problems and the how to leverage existing capabilities with enhanced technologies.

CUSTOMER JOURNEY CYCLE

Premium marketing directs customer to company website to make a purchase -

becomes part of World of LOVELY BRAND via registration mechanism through social media platform such as Instagram #MYLB

Data mining social media data ‘likes’

and preferences enabled the brand to connect with customers at point of

emotional engagement.

RIGHT PRODUCT ASSORTMENT AND PREMIUM PRESENTATION

At this point the customer is disappointed that the chosen item is out of stock - there is a risk the customer will become disengaged and has to hunt elsewhere for the item. Customers have expectations of flexible fulfilment – the traditional model does not cater to this need or experience. Adding option to Find Now offers choice and continues to satisfy demand and maintain engagement – enhancing the customer experience.

SURFACING SHARED INVENTORY

FLEXIBLE FULFILMENT OPTIONS

Adding geolocation enables items to be offered in nearest location. Adding purchase options: Buy and deliver anywhere Buy and collect at store Try before you buy

Adding virtual wardrobe increases customer engagement and builds advocacy

CONNECTING WITH CUSTOMERS AND BUILDING LIFETIME RELATIONSHIPS

ONE-STORE = RIGHT PRODUCT ASSORTMENT AND PREMIUM PRESENTATION

Adapting assisted selling using same website functionality and flexible fulfilment supports a One-Store operation and offers customers options to purchase items not available in store or are not ranged in their local retail outlet.

LOVELY BRAND

OFFERING CHOICE - FLEXIBLE FULFILMENT MODEL

This single view of inventory allows the customer to shop between bricks and mortar stores and online seamlessly: creating a One-Store customer experience, the option to purchase in store or online regardless of where the browsing originated is completely convenient for the customer and is becoming an expected norm.

LOVELY BRAND

By implementing shared inventory (single view) the business becomes more efficient and the customer experience is enhanced unlocking capital and improving B&M processes. Right Product Right Place Right Price

LOVELY BRAND

SURFACING SHARED INVENTORY

BUILDING LIFETIME RELATIONSHIPS

Creating wardrobes of purchased items is an additional service, adds to CRM and helps facilitate loyalty. E.G: client A: single man registers to World of Lovely Brand by including functionality to add other family members such as partner, kids and home options, this anticipates and directs customer to curate a record of purchases (lifestyle) and builds loyalty.

LOVELY BRAND

ASSISTED SELLING MODEL

Data mining social media data ‘likes’ and preferences enabled the brand to connect with customers at point of emotional engagement. E.G partner browsing for new baby clothes, brand sends targeted marketing and the cycle repeats

Why Now & Where to Start?

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

HOW NOT TO DO IT.

© 2012 Google Analytics

why does it matter NOW? What makes digital transformation so important NOW?

* DCX - Digital Consumer Experience

Social business connections alone are

not enough. Social business helps flatten traditional

hierarchies by empowering employees to connect, communicate, and collaborate

across traditional boundaries. But without a vision for how to compete in connected markets and how to create value for a digital customer, social is not the answer. When leadership recognizes that existing business models, systems

and processes are ill-equipped to respond without big changes, digital

transformation is inevitable.

Brands are out of touch with digital consumer

behaviours. Brands are out of touch with their digital

customers. Companies are boosting technology budgets, but all is based on

assumptions and not from research into the new customer journey. Brands lack

the infrastructure to support next generation marketing efforts. Brands have to start using insights stemming from the new DCX* as the catalyst for

internal digital transformation.

Digital transformation puts people at the centre. Every business says it’s customer-centric. Really? Leading companies put people at

the center of change. They start with studying the data (digital footprints and

preferences) plus behavior to learn where to prioritize technology, resources,

and investments. The case for urgency is made in updating an antiquated

customer journey to a more accurate, adaptive, optimized DCX.

1 VISION &

LEADERSHIP Digital transformation an emergent

movement, is not yet recognized as a formal priority by most businesses.

This requires those leading to get a digital transformation program in motion to

make the business case. But, the business case needs more than evidence or anecdotes; it needs a story and a vision for what it looks like and what it delivers.

THE 3 KEY ELEMENTS What makes digital transformation so important NOW?

2 THE DCX

Digital customer experience begins with research, studies behaviors and

expectations throughout every stage of the customer lifecycle. With information,

digital transformation takes shape by specifically aligning people, processes,

and technologies against goals to map an effective journey for digital customers.

3 TRANSFORMATION

TEAM Organizations form special teams to bring people together to start talking and put change into motion. These teams go by many names: digital

circles, Centers of Excellence (CoE), rapid innovation teams, digital acceleration teams, and more.
