IN SUMMARYIn Summary: Things to think about
Expectations are high. Customers are happy to pay for smart convenience. They expect to be empowered to interact anytime, anywhere, anyhow to suit their needs.
1. TIME IS PRECIOUS
It is not about the channel but about its presence and constant availability.Shopping has converged across many platforms, places and spaces, so much so that it has become an invisible force that sits in the background of daily life.
2. OMNIPRESENT, NOT OMNICHANNEL
Humanising the digital relationship.Think about the ways to extend service pre, during and post-purchase to keep the brand relationship on a continuum and rethink your customer relationships as a long-game—not a short one.
2. ATTENTIVE ASSISTANCE
![Page 38: THE SHOWROOM EXPERIENCE: WHAT SHOULD THIS BE IN A … · experience the brand. The customers can explore, feel and try the brand’s products in a fun way, similar to a children’s](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0d79d77e708231d43a8b7d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
CONSIDERATIONSConsiderations: Things to think about
Maximise what your physical showroom can do better than any digital experience.Your showroom should offer the ultimate and best experience of your brand. It is a space where your customers should be able to discover, learn and trial your products and services in the most engaging way possible. You can elevate the physical space by offering what your online platform can’t, and integrate digital features to get the best of both worlds.
It’s about the additional services your brand can offer and no longer just the product itself.Sophisticated service offerings used to be exclusively the domain of the luxury market, but as customer expectations get higher, we are see these services infiltrate all stratifications of the market and becoming the central focus of retail.
Owning an ‘emotional territory’.People’s lifestyles inspires wholehearted belief in and commitment to certain brands. Sustainability, social welfare, wellbeing and provenance are key values and features that people have grown strongly attached to—think about the ways your brand can integrate these ideals and strengthen the brand values.
1. MULTISENSORY 2. ABOUT SERVICES, NOT SELLING
3. GO ALL IN
