Objective:

How do you stay relevant when competing with a brick and mortar retail experience? What does it take to stay top of mind in a customer's purchase mindset? The team was challenged to look at a customer journey that could capture relevant shoppers that may be reluctant to purchase online or without physically viewing merchandise first.

How do you stay relevant when competing with a brick and mortar retail experience? What does it take to stay top of mind in a customers purchase mindset? The team was challenged to look at a customer journey that could capture relevant shoppers that may be reluctant to purchase online or without physically viewing merchandise first.

Where to Begin...

Online retail sales have been rising, but they still account for only 16% of total retail sales. A majority of consumer purchases still are through brick and mortar stores. Many customers do their research online but will continue to a physical store for final purchase.

Q: How can you intercept and pull a customer online when they are in a brick and mortar buying mindset?

Enter Real Time Geo Location Data

Research showed about 15% of Groupon customers comparative shopped online, prior to purchasing at a physical store. The goal was to get the customer to reconsider their purchase path, prior to entering a physical brick and mortar store. Research showed if you could match their recent search with their physical store presence a matching or better offer could be introduced to the purchase decision.
