Retail marketing tactics remain essentially the same today as they have for years. Whether it’s innovative mobile apps, SEO, spot discounting, targeted promotions, newsletter marketing, or five-star loyalty programs that reward shoppers for their patronage, retailers broadly use the same strategies from a big-picture perspective. At the same time, digital retail advertising spending has skyrocketed, and a majority of shoppers are likely to look at a product in-store but then purchase it online, highlighting the importance of creating a seamless omnichannel shopping experience. Observers would be forgiven for thinking that the pivot toward digital marketing means traditional marketing is a thing of the past – but they would be wrong. Far from the death of the old ways, we are observing a continuous reimagining of traditional practices. Retail marketing efforts should focus on everything from a desire for new tech experiences, such as Augmented Reality (AR), to in-depth omnichannel engagement with the brands customers love. #marketing #AI #AR #Omnichannelmarketing

Content Strategist | Retail Strategist | Author | Fashion Editor | Bringing content strategy to fashion, luxury, and the experience economy
🌎The idea of #omnichannel is a bit of a fallacy. For all I preach about holistic #contentstrategy to help #fashion and #luxury brands manage a high volume of #content across channels, trying to be everywhere at once isn’t the answer. This is why #ecommerce #customerexperience is so bad on many high-end websites, even when the digital design is gorgeous. 💡The decision to take a #designfirst rather than #contentfirst approach to digital automatically puts the brand first and the customer second. Most brands effectively take a multichannel, rather than truly omnichannel approach to content. But moving from multichannel to omnichannel to content requires time, effort, and content strategy maturation. “Keeping up” with content can be exhausting, especially when your job is content. It is better to do content well on a small set of targeted channels—like your website and TikTok—and not waste energy and expensive staff resources on content creation and management you can’t maintain consistently. A phased approach to content based on a holistic content strategy tailored to your team, tools, and budget will move the needle from more tactical decision making towards truly strategic, integrated content across channels. (And don’t think #ai is the magic solution to your content problems. If you want quality content outputs, AI thrives on content structure and repeatable, consistent patterns, rules, and guideposts.) #digital #digitaltransformation #digitalstrategy

Let's unravel the trends reshaping the industry and distill actionable strategies to propel your online retail success. 1️⃣ Seamless Omnichannel Experiences: The New Imperative My seasoned lens reveals that unified omnichannel experiences are not just a trend; they are a make-or-break factor. Consumers, now more than ever, traverse various platforms for a single purchase. Maintaining a cohesive brand presence across channels is the key. 🔧 Pro Tip: Flexibility in fulfillment, embracing social commerce, and delivering personalized customer service are essential facets of a winning strategy. 2️⃣ AI: The Cornerstone of 2024 E-commerce In my journey, I've witnessed the rise of AI, and in 2023, it hit the mainstream.

Consumers prioritize eco-conscious options, and my experience underscores the importance of authenticity in sustainable practices. 🔧 Pro Tip: Demonstrate a genuine commitment to sustainability, showcasing measurable progress, and aligning with consumer values. 5️⃣ Personalized Customer Service: Elevating Beyond Basics Having seen the evolution of customer service, I assert that in 2024, it goes beyond being an extension; it becomes the brand. Personalization at every touchpoint is no longer a luxury but a necessity. 🔧 Pro Tip: Invest in solving intangibles like empathy, ensure information access for service agents, and make each interaction a positive brand representation.

Marrying in-store and online data is a critical strategy for marketers. According to Cooler Screens, 54% of marketers see AI as essential for integrating online and offline data seamlessly. In the US, in-store advertising will only make up 0.7% of omnichannel retail media ad spend this year. However, a significant 83.7% of total US retail sales were forecasted to occur in-store by February 2024. AI plays a vital role in enhancing retail media by incorporating inventory data into ads. Walmart Connect and Walmart Luminate have successfully combined ad and inventory efforts to optimize ad messaging. For instance, advertisers can target specific customer segments with tailored messaging, improving engagement and efficiency. Moreover, AI helps make sense of the vast amount of data available through retail media. Despite the wealth of data provided to brands, understanding and leveraging this information can be challenging. With AI, marketers can identify key data points to focus on and effectively summarize extensive data sets, creating a more comprehensive understanding of consumer behavior and preferences.

Consumer-facing companies unable to adapt to rapid innovation lose out on billion-dollar opportunities. Market ‘needs’ are changing and so is the world of consumer. After the implosion of direct-to-consumer as stand alone businesses, omnichannel brands and digital companies are still facing hurdles. We’re going through a cambrian explosion, but its the technology powered businesses - particularly those fast to adopt AI - that are set to win. 3 main drivers for this revolution? 🍪The end of the third-party cookie and post-iOS14.5 The update of iOS14.5 and Google Chrome's farewell to third-party cookies has disrupted the very foundation of dot-com marketing. The playbook that once relied on targeted ads and user tracking is now rendered obsolete. Navigating the noise in a privacy-centric landscape presents a new set of challenges for brands accustomed to the traditional DTC marketing strategies. The solution? The need for ZERO and FIRST party data! Own your customer. 📈The battle for profitable growth Inflation and operational costs left companies in a precarious position. Skyrocketing costs of acquisitions and poor return on ad spends have hindered the capacity to convert new customers, and with the impending disappearance of third-party cookies (Google Chrome updates), the challenge is set to intensify. It’s not enough to just ‘grow’…every go-to-market decision must now be a margin-based one leading to day-1 profitability. 🔮Artificial intelligence While budgets are being squeezed and brands are relentlessly tightening their cash, AI-based technologies are the exception. The reason? Retail and e-commerce brands, all the way to consumer-facing online businesses, powered by technology outperform the norm. According to a McKinsey & Company study, data-driven companies are 23x more likely to acquire customers and 19x more likely to be profitable. So why AI? The true essence of AI lies not in merely providing more data to fuel your business growth, but rather in its ability to leverage that data autonomously, actively taking actions on your behalf...'growing your business for you'. In the case of Ground, this is precisely what we're witnessing. Brands aren't simply pouring resources into our AI for the sake of acquiring more data or insights. Rather, they're investing because Ground's AI is driving tangible results: a significant boost in top-line revenue and customer lifetime value (LTV) by harnessing first-party data and accurate predictions. Ground predicts what product a specific customer is most likely to buy next and when, essentially giving all consumer businesses the power to operate like Uber. The spotlight is on the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. This isn't just a trend; it's a necessity for survival. If you’re navigating these changes, let’s connect! #ConsumerBrands #DigitalBusiness #ProfitabilityJourney #AIForProfitability cc: Michael Farello L Catterton
