New Consumer Behaviour Online & Offline & The Implications For Businesses

Retail is no longer retailer / supplier / brand driven exclusively run in a bricks and mortar location. The consumer is the driver and the playing field is offline, online and mobile!

Do you know how your customer behaves in 2011? Do you really know who your customer is and what they want?

Given the current retail climate, it is now more important than ever to get back to basics to ensure that your retail business’ foundation is based on sound retail fundamentals. Anyone who sells a service or product is a retailer by today’s definition. Nancy has identified 7 fundamentals essential to every retail business and more importantly, the tools that ensure they are properly implemented. These fundamentals need to be defined and applied to the business with the knowledge of the driving forces in today’s retail industry.

CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR IN 2012 & THE IMPACT ON BUSINESSES, Presented by Nancy Georges, The Retail Miss Fix It

Today’s consumer is the driver and the playing field is offline, online and mobile! Do you know how your customer behaves in 2012? Do you really know who your customer is and what they want?

Technology has enabled the customer to connect and communicate with businesses and brands, directly and openly, in ways that were not previously possible. This impact is even greater today, post GFC, as businesses and the supply chain struggle to survive in the marketplace. Customer Service and high level Customer Communication are vital to the success of any business.

Social Media is the most important Marketing Tool at any business owner’s disposal. Starting the accounts is easy. However, using them to connect with your customer and create a community is not so easy and requires information, strategy & understanding.

Nancy has identified 7 fundamentals essential to every retail business, online and offline, and more importantly, the tools that ensure they are properly implemented. These fundamentals need to be defined and applied to the business with the knowledge of the driving forces in today’s retail industry.
