The store of the future will provide you tools to answer this question.
As part of our series about the store of the future, we have concluded that the future of retail is focused on data and that success will be based upon knowing your customer. With this in mind, what would you do if you could get immediate feedback from every customer regarding their experience with your business?
Imagine that you could ask all of your customers about the service level they received, if they found everything that they were looking for, about their opinion on the products you offer and why they shop in your store. I’m sure that if you could get answers to these questions for every customer, in every store, every day, it would give you powerful insights into your business. It would allow you to see negative trends in your operation before it damages your customer loyalty and brand. It would also allow you to see positive trends that allow you to focus on in order to improve your sales.
Finding ways to obtain data on your customer’s sentiment and feedback can seem like a daunting task. How do you collect feedback from all of your customers who interact with your stores… not just a select few? This requires innovative solutions that can scale up to cover every aspect of your retail operation both online and in-store.
