    How Can Retailers Offer Consumers the Kinds of Shopping Choices They Now Demand?

    In today’s retail environment, it is critical for retailers to understand their customers’ needs and desires regarding how they purchase, pick up and return merchandise. If a customer is not presented with a wide variety of options on how they can shop with your brand, they will often walk away and do business with your competitor instead.

    The paper identifies several strategies that forward-thinking retailers are using to get the most advantage from mobile technology. Recommendations include:

    • Give Clear Ownership — A single executive, tasked with managing and improving the overall customer experience, is vital to pushing mobile programs forward.
    • Make Price Transparency a Priority — Price transparency is real, thanks to Amazon's Price Check and eBay's RedLaser applications; retailers need to embrace the capability.
    • Better Understand a Consumer's Path to Purchase — A consumer's path to purchase often begins outside the store and may traverse several "channels" for a single purchase decision. Retailers need to intersect with consumers at the right moment with the right value offers.
    • Connectivity Is a Must — Without some sort of connectivity in the store, retailers can't hope to enhance the store experience with mobile. Employees must have Wi-Fi access to be at least as informed as the consumer.

    Building a Well-Localized Web Experience

    Increasingly, localization has become a significant element of long-term, global branding strategies. For Fortune 500 companies, the driving motivators for translating content are to meet local customer expectations, improve customer service, maintain or increase brand value, reach more customers in markets where they already have a presence, and address local market regulations. Localization requires companies to strike a balance between the preferences of a specific locale, brand identity, and enough return on investment to ensure a sustainable branding effort. Brand managers must understand what true localization is, know the resources available, and leverage those resources to streamline and manage the whole process. These steps will help ensure the company is reaching the target demographic and receiving ample response and return.
