Retail Strategy Spotlight: Bridal Industry Leader Gets Personal and Goes Digital

Image
  When a bride-to-be is ready to choose the attire for her bridesmaids, where does she go to shop? Recently, brides have been turning to direct online sellers to outfit their bridal parties. These online competitors have been rapidly taking market share from more traditional, high-touch, brick-and-mortar businesses. That’s the situation a  leading retailer in the bridal industry recently found themselves in.  Over two years, their bridal party and bridesmaid sales dropped by 50% as online competitors gained significant traction. When they came to Sophelle, this industry leader sought to double their revenue over the next three years. Meeting Brides Where They Are—Online Today’s brides are informed, have a clear vision of their big day, and require a higher level of service than ever before. The average bride-to-be spends approximately 12 hours a week doing wedding research during an 11-month engagement. She knows what she wants this momentous life event to look like, and she counts on

Ecommerce Insight: Optimizing Retail Omnichannel Strategy with POS Implementation

  Having good ecommerce insight is crucial for businesses as it enables them to make informed decisions and develop effective strategies to maximize revenues and customer satisfaction. It helps businesses optimize their website design and user experience to increase conversions, identify the most profitable products or product categories, identify target audiences, and improve customer service and support.   Retail omnichannel strategy is a comprehensive approach that focuses on creating a seamless and integrated shopping experience for customers across multiple channels. This strategy recognizes the growing importance of both offline and online channels in the retail industry and aims to leverage them effectively to enhance customer engagement, satisfaction, and loyalty.   POS implementation refers to the process of setting up and integrating a Point of Sale (POS) system within a business or retail establishment. The term "POS" refers to the physical or digital lo

  Challenge An ever-evolving field, ecommerce personalization requires routine maintenance and modification to drive performance and achieve optimal results. Per best practice, Sophelle’s personalization practice leaders continually search for new ways to maximize  client success .  Although Sophelle implemented a robust ecommerce personalization strategy for a home and personal product retailer,  Practice Manager Ken Kantor  noticed additional room for improvement on product detail pages.  Solution In the world of  personalization , retailers often adjust algorithms to group products by category. For example, when shoppers search for blue tee shirts, AI is traditionally programmed to show other tee shirts. Offering more options within the same category seemingly matches the customer’s original intent.  However, for this client, extensive analysis and testing through data modeling revealed a surprising finding in consumer behavior: shoppers gravitated toward products with similar featu

Retail Subscriptions – Operations and Architecture are Critical

  Most companies new to providing subscription-based offerings have two areas of focus: their product and their marketing. Certainly, without a great product and a way to create demand, your retail subscription business will not get off the ground. Managing subscription operations is complex enough when you have an intangible Netflix-type product. But things get exponentially more complicated when you have a physical product e.g. inventory, packaging, shipping, returns, and warehousing to name a few pain points. Experience selling primarily through retailers may have little or no advantage when setting up a D2C channel. If you are in this ‘D2C for the first time’ physical goods camp, this blog is for you. When it comes to systems and processes, a typical approach is to “start out with something and learn as we go.” This may start with a Google search or a personal recommendation for an e-commerce or order processing vendor. One call leads to another until you find a platform you like,

Millennial Report: The Power of Podcast Marketing

Image
  I wasn’t blessed with a low-energy lap dog that’s content laying by my feet and staring out the window all day. I have a tireless, attention-seeking beast that needs near-constant stimulation and multiple daily fetch sessions to avoid utter destruction. So to prevent  myself  from losing my mind as I monotonously throw his ball over and over again, I listen to podcasts.  In part, podcasts help keep my mind active. Plus, they provide a sense of community; I, like many of my Millennial friends, work from home and lack the comradery and culture of traditional workplaces. Listening to people banter and gossip helps fill that void.  Podcasts have surged in popularity among people under 40, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z. These digital audio gems offer a captivating escape from everyday life, covering a wide range of topics from pop culture to personal development. Because they’re on-demand, podcasts fit seamlessly into these generations’ busy, on-the-go lifestyles, providing con
