TFG was aware of recent advancements in AI technology that would open up new ways to connect with customers. However, since conversational AI is still a new technology, TFG had concerns:
Bensons for Beds needed a tool that would allow them to capture data for customers who had both been in their stores or on their website at various different points of their buying journey. To get there, they had to overcome key roadblocks:
Fragmented tech stack = inefficiencies across teams. Marketers, merchandisers, and developers had to work across disconnected tools, hindering specialization and scalability.
Sofology recognizes that a sofa is one of the biggest investments that people make. Making a purchase is often a lengthy process that blends in-store visits, online browsing, and careful deliberation.
To best serve its audience and help them choose the right product, the brand wanted to build a welcome email campaign that embraced the unique, multi-step shopping journeys of their customers.
Leveraging Bloomreach’s AI-powered personalization and customer journey orchestration tools, Sofology set out to craft a welcome email campaign designed to perfectly align with each customer’s individual shopping experience.
When facilitating large average order size purchases like furniture, home products, or other accessories, it is important for retailers to have in-store and ecommerce experiences that complement each other to stitch together their customers’ entire journey with their brand.
For Kondela, its specific challenge was being able to collect customer data and insights (specifically an email address with consent) from brick-and-mortar store visitors that could be used for intuitive ecommerce personalization campaigns. That meant revamping in-store processes to collect key data points that could be used to lead customers back towards a purchase after they left the store.
Since World of Books Group serves customers in over 190 countries worldwide, it was essential for the company to have a SaaS platform that was easy to use for marketers and provided reliable marketing automation capabilities. It also needed to power compliant customer data collection.
After struggling to see a complete picture of its customers, World of Books Group implemented Bloomreach Engagement to get a single customer view to help power limitless ecommerce personalization initiatives and connect with customers at every step of their journey with all of its brands.
After implementation, World of Books Group was looking to get value out of the product as quickly as possible, which is where the Bloomreach Academy and Bloomreach Plug & Play use cases came in.
In a world that’s rapidly shifting toward digitalization, Jumbo stands out as a brand that has seamlessly adapted to market changes time and time again. The company takes pride in its ability to be responsive and dynamic, catering to the diverse and ever-changing needs of its customers.
But this results in a unique set of challenges for the grocer. For instance, the grocery industry serves a multitude of customers each day, making its audience essentially “everyone.” Not to mention, this sector also caters to immediate needs, unlike many industries where purchases are driven by desire or want. The pandemic only increased the urgency of these needs, making it difficult for Jumbo’s ecommerce practitioners to keep up with demand. Like a double-edged sword, Jumbo’s growth (i.e., increase in private-label SKUs, expansion of its store portfolio, and shifting focus areas) was beginning to compromise its online experience since its legacy infrastructure could no longer support the company’s expanding use cases, particularly when it came to product discovery.
Jumbo knew that it had to adapt quickly and invest in search and merchandising technology that would support its growth and expanding endeavors. In particular, its next search tool needed to handle a diverse number of customer and market types without being too complex, manual, or reliant on IT. The solution also had to be easy to scale, as change is always a constant for the Dutch grocery retailer. Lastly, Jumbo needed a flexible, user-friendly tool with both AI automation and manual capabilities that could deliver fast, accurate, and personalized results in line with its customers’ growing expectations.
As SmartPak expanded its product offerings, third-party apparel line, and targeted market to include barn owners, the company found itself in a state of hypergrowth. However, this rapid expansion of the business and diversification of product lines presented a unique challenge for SmartPak. Even though the company aimed to remain true to its roots and ensure that each customer interaction felt personalized and genuine, the brand also had to keep pace with the growing demands of an increasingly diverse customer base with various needs, wants, and pain points.
Though armed with personal equine expertise, the small merchandising team found themselves in uncharted territory. Now, they had to provide the same level of service that reflected the brand’s customer-first mindset at scale — without compromising the company’s commitment to providing high-quality, tailored ecommerce experiences to its customers.
Fortunately, SmartPak saw this challenge as an opportunity to innovate and adapt, leveraging its equine industry knowledge and close-knit team dynamic to develop a merchandising strategy that would allow it to scale effectively. Despite these growing pains, the ecommerce department was confident that they could maintain Smartpak’s high standards by continuing to build meaningful relationships with customers through intuitive digital experiences, no matter how large their audience, product line, or in-house business ventures grew.
