LINDA: Welcome to the 2012 DMA presentation “Today’s Tablets Mean Bigger Consumer Engagement”. My name is Linda Brown, and I am the Consumer Insights Manager at Wolverine World Wide. Here with me today is one of our valued partners, Joaquin Ruiz, the CEO and founder of Catalog Spree. We are here to share with you our experience in the new digital catalog space. We hope to inform you about the acceleration in digital space, the rise in importance of tablet-based marketing, provide some details on how to move into this growing channel and if we’re lucky, inspire you to engage in the unique opportunity. For the sake of time, we’d ask that you save your questions until the end.
LINDA:You may never have heard of Wolverine World Wide, but we are now the largest manufacturer of non-athletic footwear in the world since our recent acquisition of 4 amazing brands: Sperry Top Sider, Saucony, Stride-Rite Childrens Group, and KedsWe have over 500 retail stores around the world, with thousands under brand license. We also manage 56 eCommerce sites plus 17 mobile sites in 8 countries.My role revolves around the consumer database, direct to consumer marketing and consumer insights through research.

JOAQUINWeb: SEM, SEO, e-commerce site, affiliates, etcEngage: off-line, vs online, vs socialOff-line, in-store, and online (social, web, mobile) channels
Not since the dot-com boom has a consumer trend single-handedly turned the retail industry upside down. As shoppers become more comfortable with smartphones and tablets, they are demanding their favorite retailers do the same by adding mobile-centric solutions that will personalize and improve the shopping experience.

LINDA“pop” after 2011 holidays when so many tablets came in market, then still growing – especially in Europe. Until now the proportionate value to the business is nearly equal each period. Europe overtaking US could be that the consumer in the EU is actually a bit younger than the consumer in the US by brand strength.
LINDA Tablets generally have higher conversion rates than smartphones and therefore drive a proportionately greater amount of revenue. (interpreted another way, smartphones generally have higher traffic volumes than tablets).
LINDA+ / - Awareness: exclusivity vs. quantity+ / - User experience: can be subpar when home grown, unless done well on user design+/ - One of a crowd: lost or halo effect.
Sample of a contest app that scores big points on simplicity, acquisition, and surprise & delight. You couldn’t pay for that kind of copy.
LINDAClose to home in the shoe business, here is a sample of Crocs App – still feels like a catalog. Easy to view. Cheerful representation of the brand that is easily updated. Email signup is a win.And it’s fully shoppable.
LINDAIKEA AppWins on ease of use, although the book is so big. Needs interspersed table of contentsCan interact with the catalog even when downloading… original version took 20 minutes to load, but now you can view while downloading.Allows for favorite, but takes a while to get through everything… just like their normal catalog. It’s an immersion experience!Went shopping, and the thing I wanted wasn’t on their web site This happens often, driving people to the stores instead of shopping online. Lost sale! Missed opportunity.
LINDADicks Considered a periodical.Takes20 minutes to download. Built in Adobe Publishing Suite and have to get it off the Newstand.Includes an education and entertainment and ads in ads.So much to do… is this the future of interaction? Is all this too much? Does shop seamlessly.
LINDAOur goals are to prospect for new consumers, participate in this growing space, and position our brands among some of the best catalogers.The aggregation app helped us overcome our challenges of relatively low awareness and limited in-house capabilities to build an app with a worthwhile experience.Invest without over-investing. Cost are similar to other affiliate programs, but they vary a bit from vendor to vendor.
LINDAWhy use more than 1 vendor? - No vendor is the same, review your options. - Reporting and transparency is very mixed. New discipline getting weak reports --- Catalog Spree is best to date. - One of the key reasons to be on all vendors ---- increased exposure… it’s certain that these different vendors do not reach the same type of consumer – and you don’t want to assume who captures those most likely to respond to your offerings.It’s also likely that only a couple will survive as the “big dog” – you want to be on that one when it breaks out.And finally this is a vendor relationship – be sure to follow and own your own project. Babysit them to assure you win.
LINDAThe advantage of an aggregation app is that you can leverage what you already have. Leverage your assets to provide a unified point of view.Meet expectations before you exceed them.>>> brings back to the IKEA app – you spend the time browsing, but then you can’t buy?Don’t overcomplicate things. >>> risk with the Dick’s catalog. Is it simply to much?Make it easy to use.>>> this is what you need to dig in with your vendor on. Use the app, push them to make the user experience friendly.
LINDAMerrell = classic catalog design. Copy heavy, product oriented.HP = derived look book with product as focus, but much less dense & little copySebago = full on lifestyle look book.
LINDASome details her on the page processing systems and requirements for these systems. Not everything is apples to apples. For example, our catalog has a fold-out center – which isn’t directly translatable to the digital catalog format.You’re sending single pages to allow for the tablet flip to go from a landscape spread to portrait.Even a slight variation in size (like for our fold out) can cause mild distortion as they force it to same size.
LINDAWe use a GAN feed in some cases sales go through our site and in other cases it’s a shared cart that is processed by our consumer services.GAN:Google Affiliate Network = 3% commission + anything they commission if they sell through your site; has ability to set up different commission structures.GAN is used to send data out to the eCatalog and push the sales to your web site.Do the work up front to assure the feed is going to be successful. After go live, You have to watch your book to assure that the feed is not getting corrupted. Need some data file expertise, but nothing too radical. Coordinate your launch timing online with your launch of the books so that they are aligned.
LINDAThese are some of the key metrics we track for Catalog Spree. Note that it’s very small at this point, but at 100-fold increase, which is not unreasonable in the digital space, we see significant revenue. Further, our latest projections of attribution is at $190K, meaning as it grows, it could provide a dramatic increase in contribution to indirect sales
LINDAB&M – if you have it. That is the full consumer experience, encourage them to take it home in their pocketSocial Media – FB promotionsEmail: ongoing footer and occasionally Internally – someone has to be the champion. The larger your organization, the more difficult it may be to herd cats to execute. I have the advantage of a small team that can set our own priorities. We can dedicate a person to the successful execution in the digital space, but you also have to have all the stakeholders in the know. And, like most things, you have to build the business case. It’s starts small, but you’ll want to show growth in the channel by establishing those base KPIs.
