- 2 important issues that multichannel retailers face are……
- Although you may think that electronic would be the cheaper it indeed can be even more expensive then the store channel. Why??? Because the retailer incurs significant costs to design maintain and refresh a website. They must attract customers to their site and maintain distribution systems and warehouses dedicated to fulfilling orders from customers. They also deal with a high level of returns.
- Will manufacturer’s do this? Most won’t because………………………first dash…………………and because retailers have more expertise and are good at collecting and using info about costumers. …………………second dash………..
- Consumers want to recognized by a retailer wheather they interact with a sales associate or kiosk in a store, log onto their website or contact their call center. They want to buy online but pick up or return in store.
- This is a challenge for retailers because it takes unique skills and resources to manage each channel.
- Due to the rapid growth of mobile phone usage and shopping via your mobile phone it is important that multichannel retailers support this but since most retailers websites don’t accomidate the small screen and slower download speeds of a cell phone this is something that is being worked on. To the right is an example of an I phone app from Macy’s called Macy’s Ishop. From this app you can shop just like you would if you were on a regular computer.
- Customer databases are used to house complete history of each customers interaction with the retailer. This helps create a seamless experience for the customer. Retailers need to offer a consistent brand image for all of their channels. Typical different assortments of products are appropriate for each different channel. For example for some retailers the clothes they offer online might be different or of more assortment then what they offer in store. This usually happens because they offer more product then what they have space for in a store front. Pricing presents another challenge for multichannel retailers bc customers want pricing to be consistent among each different channel. However multichannel retailers have to adjust their pricing due to different kinds of competition in different channels. This can also cause some challenges bc with the technology we have today people can do price checking online. Channel migration is when a consumer goes to say walmart.com and finds a product they want but then purchases the product from target.com because of multiple reasons. Cheaper shipping or cheaper prices. Two ways to reduce this are to offer uniquely relevant info based on the proprietary data the retailer has collected about the customer and promote private label merchandise that can be purchased only from the retailer.
