Today’s customer is overloaded with choice, constantly interrupted, switching between multiple channels, and it can be tricky to grab their attention and keep them coming back.
With loyalty schemes, retailers need to offer real, instant and obvious value to customers. Retailers must simplify their schemes to get results.

Most retailers understand that upstream factors such as customer loyalty, retention, advocacy, satisfaction and brand preference have a causal relationship on both financial performance and operational variables. However, linking and measuring customer experience initiatives to tangible return on investment (ROI) can be a challenge. If retailers do not have a well-defined, structured measurement strategy, it’s very difficult to gauge how much CX is worth and show where it generates value – both for customers and for the business. Delighting customers comes with a cost. Delivering a superior customer experience should meet; even excel customer expectations. But, not at any cost.

Have you ever spoken to someone so inquisitive that they ask you more questions before you’ve even finished answering the first? Or even worse, as you answer their questions thoroughly, they don’t even give you so much as a head nod to let you know they’ve understood? It is a frustrating situation to feel as though you aren’t being heard, or that your voice has gone in one ear and out the other.

Most people can name a negative experience they've had with a brand, and along with it usually comes a declaration of why they will never return to that company. According to the ACSI's latest Retail Report, shoppers are often unhappy with the customer service they receive, referring to it as "lackluster" and "underwhelming."

For retail shoppers, the customer journey often begins with a local mobile search. In fact, 80% of retail shoppers have searched the terms “near me” on their smartphones. After performing local mobile searches, 61% of shoppers go on to call a business, while 59% visit the location. Their calls are often inquiries about inventory and pricing. The higher the price, the more likely retail customers are to call, since expensive purchases are more considered.
In addition, online retail shoppers often call an agent to learn additional product specs, clear up billing issues, and finalize purchases. For retail marketers, these calls to brick-and-mortar locations and contact centers are one of the richest sources of customer insights available.
In order to boost website and marketing ROI, retail marketers and their agency partners should harness the voice of the customer from inbound calls to locations and contact centers to inform their strategy.
