ATTRIBUTIONGoogle gave marketers the sense that all digital spend could be traced to an action. Unfortunately, the digital medium’s ROI has proved as opaque as others, and brands have had to hold their nose and spend as the next “must-do” thing (e.g., social, mobile advertising, etc.) proves harder and harder to link to stakeholder value. Omnichannel investments offer a rare, blue line path to ROI as consumers spend more when there are multiple, fluid touchpoints. While e-commerce pure plays typically net 77 cents on the dollar (due to costly returns that average 23 percent of order value), retailers that offer both in-store pick-up and returns enjoy an accretive effect–whereby shoppers walk out of the store with 107 percent of their original basket size, after exchanging merchandise and making incremental purchases (behaviors rarely seen in a digital world).1

RACE TO THE MIDDLEIn 2008, it was clear Macy’s was going out of business. Fast-forward to 2015 and the iconic retailer’s stock keeps setting new all-time highs2 on the heels of a sweeping reorganization that aligned channel teams. The street’s continued love affair with omnichannel has catalyzed a race to the middle, as online pure plays open terrestrial stores and traditional retailers bulk up their digital offerings. The battle for retail’s high ground is the middle, where digital serves as the connective tissue between site(s), store, inventory and consumer. Some examples in 2015:
• Outside of Luxury, more than half of retailers provide in-store inventory transparency on sites.
• Investments in in-store pick-up have increased year-on-year, while large format retailers (Nordstrom, Target, Walmart) have rolled out curbside pick-up pilots in the U.S.
• 89 percent of retailers classified by L2 as “omnichannel leaders” experienced positive same store sales from 2014 to 2015.
PULLING AWAYOmnichannel laggards will struggle to catch frontrunners, many of which made transformative capital outlays a decade ago. The cost and complexity of success in this dimension has many retailers befuddled–while 38 percent reported in 2013 that they were developing an omnichannel strategy and beginning to execute, the number fell to 32 percent in 2014.3
The winners blend channels and inventory, grow top-line revenue, and signal innovation to the market, which rewards them with a higher multiple on EBITDA. The cheaper capital, and success, provides the scant few leaders (e.g., Macy’s, Home Depot, Williams-Sonoma, Sephora, Best Buy) with the mojo and resources to ignite an afterburner that broadens the distance between them and everyone else.

Omnichannel Retail: Importance of Select Channels When Making a Purchase June 2014 ■ Digital Channels
Omnichannel Retail: Percent of Sales Influenced by Digital 2009–2021E

E-COMMERCE ≠ OMNICHANNELOrganizations still think about omnichannel as an extension of their digital business–or as a sexier name for e-commerce–evidenced by the fact that 41 percent of executives in senior omnichannel roles (Vice President and above) come directly from an e-commerce background.1 By failing to adopt a holistic approach, retailers miss the opportunity for clicks/bricks interplay. SHOWROOM VS. WAREHOUSE VS. ASSET In 2015, digital channels will influence 64 percent of offline sales, up from 49 percent the previous year.2 While this effect is nothing new for retailers who play in highly considered categories–Auto, Luxury, Prestige Beauty, and the like–this is a tectonic shift in consumer behavior towards pre-researching more benign purchases. But stores–back from the brink of “showrooms” for Amazon–have also not been relegated to mere points of distribution (“warehouses”). Self-described digital shoppers report that traditional in-store experiences are the most important touchpoint when considering a purchase, beating all digital channels.3 OMNICHANNEL IQ = SHAREHOLDER VALUE Amid perpetual rumors that Amazon will make a transformative brick-and-mortar acquisition (mostly started by us), smaller e-tailers have begun to test the waters–in May 2015, online marketplace Farfetch acquired London boutique Browns to “develop and test new retail and omni-channel strategies.” Yet faux-omni tactics will only go so far–retailers must build these competencies in house. This report examines the efforts of retailers to drive customers from clicks to bricks and back again. L2 attempts to determine the brands and best practices that are removing organizational and technological barriers to deliver a true omnichannel experience. Like the medium we are assessing, our approach is dynamic. Please reach out with comments that improve our methodology and findings.

Retail Footprint: Leaders vs. LaggardsL2 analyzed brands that scored in the top 40th percentile in terms of e-commerce and brick-and-mortar incentives, as well as those who scored in the bottom 40th percentile, to understand trends among these leaders and laggards. In their most recent fiscal year, omnichannel leaders closed, on average, 4.00 percent of store locations, while laggards closed 2.82 percent of their stores. However, even as leaders closed more of their stores (generally, a negative indicator of retail performance), the remaining stores were significantly more productive–89 percent of leaders reported positive same-store sales growth in the most recent fiscal year, as opposed to only 50 percent of laggards. In sum, the data suggests that brands excelling at omnichannel are closing unproductive locations, and using technology to facilitate higher performance in well-performing stores. Macy’s exemplifies the trend–the omnichannel trailblazer closed or consolidated 22 stores in fiscal year 2014, while doubling down on e-commerce and omnichannel fulfillment investments, including same-day delivery and ship-from-store. As a result, Macy’s and other comparable retailers no longer need to rely on square footage expansion to stimulate growth. Instead, innovation within the existing retail footprint has proved sufficient in growing shareholder value to all-time highs.1

Everyone has a fear of Amazon but retailers have made significant inroads to selling to their customers from anywhere. A robust omnichannel foundation requires real-time data visibility in four out of five areas: users, inventory, pricing, product and payment. This enables a truly seamless customer experience.” MAHESH TYAGARAJANCPO, RichRelevance

Free ShippingRetailers’ attitudes towards free shipping are bifurcated. At the Mass pricepoint, all eight retailers tracked in L2’s 2014 and 2015 Omnichannel Retail studies continue to offer regular free shipping in some capacity–the price of entry for big box players competing head-to-head with Amazon. On the other end of the pricing spectrum, free shipping also remains ubiquitous across the Luxury subset, proving that consumers now equate complimentary shipping with high-touch customer service. However, data suggests that brands at both Aspirational and Prestige pricepoints have pulled back, with several brands no longer offering “always-on” free shipping. Among the Aspirational brands tracked year on year, just 66 percent offer regular free shipping, down from 75 percent in 2014. Similarly, free shipping is offered regularly by 72 percent of the Prestige brands tracked, down from 76 percent in 2014 and 84 percent in 2013. Only one brand, Michael Kors, was observed launching regular free shipping in the last year. For those brands offering free shipping on orders of a minimum value, thresholds are also on the rise. Across four categories, the average free shipping threshold increased between $4 (Big Box) and $42 (Watches & Jewelry), suggesting brands are taking back control of their shipping policies, with an eye towards profitability.

In-Store Technology Successful omnichannel brands synchronize a single view of the customer across online, in-store, and mobile channels. Retailers report that creating a complete consumer view leads to higher customer satisfaction, order values, and shopping frequency, while also improving employee satisfaction.1 Yet only six percent of retailers currently report the ability to identify customers via their smartphones when they walk into a store, and even those that do are arguably doing very little to action this data and drive store performance.2 Use of beacons also remains under-penetrated, suggesting brands have yet to unlock real value from the heavily hyped technology–in part, due to the difficulty of analyzing the data returned to the retailers. Just eight percent of brands are testing the technology, while 10 percent have written it off completely and 31 percent are in wait-and-see mode.3 Given slow adoption and customer disinterest, beacons seem unlikely to make a sizeable impact on the retail market in the next few years.

New Leadership Domains In October 2014, 61 percent of retailers reported that they had added or changed C-level roles in the past two years, and another eight percent planned to do so in the future.1 New functions have focused largely around customer experience, with popular new titles including Chief Customer Experience Officer and Chief Transformation Officer. By early 2016, 20 percent of retail executive teams are expected to include a Chief Omnichannel Officer.2 Retailers should be careful not to conflate these new leadership domains with a silver bullet solution for omnichannel success. Establishing senior omnichannel leadership has worked well in some organizations, including Macy’s, where Chief 1. “Changing Roles in Retail,” Retail TouchPoints, October 2014.2. Ibid.

Omnichannel Officer R.B. Harrison brings to the table his experience as the former President of Stores. In other cases, brands have re-engineered titles to establish roles that are more holistic. At Target, the former President of Multichannel recently joined the executive leadership team as Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer; his former role has not been re-assigned. American Eagle Outfitters promoted its former SVP of Omnichannel E-Commerce to Chief Digital Officer, a role that includes “responsibility for digitally enabled customer experiences across all channels and touchpoints.”3
