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:
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.

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.
With a lean marketing team, an audience of diverse, dedicated fandoms, and dozens of product drops every month, Sideshow needed to deliver marketing campaigns that were fast, relevant, and effortless to execute.

These bottlenecks made it difficult to launch campaigns quickly, limiting Sideshow’s ability to react to real-time opportunities.
To keep pace with demand and personalize its messages across channels — without adding complexity — Sideshow adopted Affinity, Bloomreach’s autonomous marketing solution.
Over the past 16 years, Crafter’s Companion has built an extremely loyal customer base via TV shopping channels and its own Crafter’s TV. Many customers spend hours watching tutorials and crafting sessions, fostering a community that feels more like a fan base.
However, Crafter’s Companion found that it was facing some challenges with its previous solution when trying to connect with its audience:
Not enough flexibility. With frequently updated content, time-sensitive offers, and new products with very short promotional windows, Crafter’s Companion needed a flexible setup that could handle rapid adjustments without disrupting the email workflow.
