The Impact of In-Store Digital Experience on Online ROI
How Physical Store Intent Data Drives Online Sales
Useful customer data collection in-store has been virtually non-existent.
Without data, it's very difficult to measure both ROI and LTV.
If in-store and e-commerce channels aren't linked, it's impossible to measure the impact of a store visit on an
e-comm sale.
Opportunity:
Omnichannel customers spend 3.5x more than single-channel customers and they exhibit more brand
loyalty.

80-90% of all U.S. retail sales still occur within the the physical store.
That means purchase intent in the physical store is 9x higher than online.

AND
According to Accenture’s “Seamless Retailing 2014” study, when asked what retailers need to improve the most, 40% of respondents ranked improving the in-store shopping experience first.
According to Deloitte, digital interactions influence more than 64 cents of every dollar spent in retail
stores.
This means shoppers who get a seamless digital experience are more likely to convert.
Retailers must go above and beyond to create a seamless, effortless in-store experience to win a customer over, with the goal of getting them to
become a digital customer.
Retailers must encourage digital touchpoints that actively engage the shopper with the brand across
channels, not just the products.

Opt-In
● Giving shoppers the ability to opt-in at the end of a digital experience instills confidence and trust in the brand.
● It ensures that they feel in control of their own data and that everyone gets the same experience regardless of their willingness to identify their data.
The digital aspects of the store should be dynamic to help personalize the overall store experience.
When shoppers' offline and online “accounts” are synced, the content they see during their site visit
should reflect what they looked at or purchased in-store.
With more complete shopper profiles, you can see how a shopper interacts with your brand both online
and in-store so you know the most effective messages to deliver at the best times and on the best channel.
This increases your value to them.
According to Lee Resource Inc., it costs a company five times more to attract new
customers than to keep an existing customer.

Email is the identifier.
When shoppers opt-in to identifying their in-store data, use it to market to them the same
way you would if they visited your e-commerce site.
We call this In-Store Remarketing — remarketing done online to customers who have walked into a
physical store and not made a purchase.
This can be done through email, display, or social
Phase 1:
Follow-up 1-7 days later with more information about the items the shopper was interested in-store.
Phase 2:
Re-engage the shopper 2-6 months later with confidence that the shopper purchased the item
even if it wasn't from you because they browsed in store (browsing in store shows a higher level of
intent).
Not requiring the customer to identify themselves at the beginning and making it optional at the end.
