Customer Experience & Engagement
Today’s customers are more discerning than ever before. Expectations for customer service, product assortment, and in-store experiences are elevated and continuously evolving. Engaging these well-informed, technologically-savvy customers requires thinking outside the box and a focus on a real-time retail environment. We have seen the most success and innovation when businesses have evolved beyond the traditional brick and mortar and e-commerce strategy and developed a comprehensive vision for engaging customers in new and exciting ways before, during and after the shopping experience. This comprehensive journey is used to plan for the store of the future as well as mobile, social, loyalty and support center customer engagement tools.

The future store must encompass both worlds – the sensory experience generally available in the physical world married with the unique and personalized shopping experience common in the digital world.
The customer experience can now benefit from technological advances such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality, Beacons, Wi-Fi, and geolocation services. However, these new technologies must be coupled with the proper customer service standards to be effective business driving solutions.
