The Challenge
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:
Sur La Table wanted to upgrade its product discovery solution to one that was tightly integrated with Salesforce Commerce Cloud, yet the brand wanted to be strategic about the move — it hoped to avoid getting overwhelmed by numerous point solutions that were difficult to piece together.
Already recognizing the challenge customers faced in finding exactly what they were looking for, Sur La Table knew that it could proactively tackle this issue by implementing a site search experience that understands how real people shop. Instead of relying on rigid, keyword-based search rules, the team sought a more conversational and intent-driven approach.
Additionally, the team wanted to take this initiative a step further by offering AI-powered product recommendations that could dynamically evolve with shopper behavior. Having used out-of-the-box recommendations from their previous solution, the ecommerce team quickly discovered that these recommendations were expensive, disconnected from the rest of their tech stack, and not adaptive to customer intent.
Even worse, they couldn’t piece together where certain recommendations were coming from, leading to wasted time manually adjusting product rankings. This strategic switch to a new tool would be the driving force behind Sur La Table’s new autonomous search strategy, eliminating tedious workflows while increasing impact.
Ecommerce personalization is crucial for grocery companies that are trying to retain customers. Personalized experiences can improve customer engagement and satisfaction, which can lead to increased loyalty and repeat purchases. Grocers that are able to provide customized recommendations based on a customer’s past purchases, preferences, and browsing behavior can create a more personalized shopping experience that encourages customers to come back again and again.
Working with Bloomreach partner Voxwise, Terno learned that its average customer grocery shops about every 3.5 days. With this data, Terno began to work with Voxwise on how to attract customers back to its stores, rather than buying from its competition.
How could this be done? With exceptional ecommerce personalization strategies designed to keep customers loyal to its brand.
MILKRUN Powered by Metro is the new way to get your groceries in Australia. Woolworths is bringing hot food, sushi, flowers, and so much more to customers’ doorsteps all over the country in less than 60 minutes.
But just having a home delivery grocery service isn’t enough in today’s digital-first world. Woolworths needed a great platform to power that app — one that could derive key customer insights and make data-driven decisions based on customer behavior in real time. After all, delivering a connected omnichannel experience would be impossible without these things.
With customers increasingly expecting personalized experiences, how could Woolworths manage personalization, content management, and other key aspects of its app, all while offering a seamless customer journey and experience?
With such a wide-reaching audience with unique wants and needs, connecting with shoppers on a personal level and retaining their business was a top priority for Revolution Beauty — especially their most loyal customers. Their loyalty program, Rev Rewards, was launched in 2020 using our valued partner Yotpo and is instrumental in retaining and engaging their most high-value audience.
To bolster the success of Rev Rewards and optimize every stage of the customer lifecycle, Revolution Beauty needed to truly know their customers and be able to adapt quickly, reaching them when and where it counts. They wanted to expand their marketing channels and communicate with customers across multiple touchpoints, guiding them with personalized campaigns fueled by a deep understanding of each customer’s motivations.
Global Industrial started as a small material handling company when it was birthed in 1949 and has transformed into a B2B industry-leading distributor with over 1.7 million products in 21 industrial and commercial categories.
But just as Global Industrial differentiated itself in its first 70+ years of business, the company wanted to differentiate itself in the thought leadership realm as well. It wanted to create a platform to generate and distribute educational content to customers that could empower them with the resources they needed to be successful with Global Industrial products and to better understand the marketplace at large.
Global Industrial’s challenge? A product-focused and product-led website experience as well as a homegrown website platform that offered little flexibility for expanding content storytelling. Stack that on top of an increasingly competitive digital commerce marketplace and all of these factors left little room for differentiation in an already crowded space.
Not only was MKM’s tech stack reaching its end of life, but the company was also highly aware of the issues surrounding its website — from slow load times and costly maintenance protocols to its digital experience being a subpar reflection of its stellar in-person experience. MKM recognized that the industry was changing, and within the next five to seven years, 45% of its current customer base would be retiring. Therefore, the business needed to lean into the “expectation economy,” or the idea that consumers, especially those who identify as millennials and Gen-Z, have greater expectations than ever around every purchase decision.
The wholesaler also needed to address that its website only accounted for a limited amount of its business revenue. Additionally, MKM did not want the website experience to continue to reflect poorly on them as a provider of much-needed products and services and leave a potential channel of revenue untapped. The brand was also concerned about its website being the first touchpoint in the buyer’s journey, since it may deter a prospect from visiting one of its branches.
Finally, the existing website had no way to provide cohesive reporting, customer relationship management (CRM), or personalization. All of the product data was siloed, too — meaning that there was no single source of truth. Essentially, these shortcomings left MKM in a serious bind. The company had no way to evaluate the marketing and merchandising tactics that were working, differentiate customer and buyer types from one another, or ensure customer lifetime value.
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.
