•White Paper: The Best $1,000 A Retailer Can Spend

By AML

The retail landscape has been changing for the past several years, and the recent economic downturn has only added to the challenges faced by retail executives. How is on-line business affecting the brick-and-mortar business? How are retailers getting customers into the store? How are they keeping them in the store? How are retailers improving the customer's in-store experience, while coaxing them to make a buying decision right then, without going across the street, or without going home to surf the web for a cheaper price?

Retailers spend a ton of money on advertising, and marketing in general, trying to get customers in the store. The challenge is to get them to buy while they are there. But there are ways of enhancing the customer's in-store experience, dramatically improving the probability of a purchase. In most cases, the in-store experience is best enhanced by stellar customer service, accomplished by placing smiling, well educated sales associates at the end of every aisle, ready to assist at the blink of an eye. Can't find something? Need a price look-up? Don't know the balance of a gift card? Only one on the shelf but you need two? Just triple the number of people on the floor and the problem is solved. Of course, the added payroll costs will drive the retailer out of business in a few weeks, but what a grand few weeks it will be for the customer!
