Retail is such a volatile business sector, but also one of the most exciting. Retailers are always on their toes, thinking of ways to keep their brand relevant and sharp. As a BPO company in the Philippines that has catered to many brands from different industries, MCVO Talent Outsourcing Services understands how photo editing outsourced services can propel your retail brand to greater heights. We’ve gathered a few more insights in addition to this.
What Every Retailer Needs for Success
Increase/Sustain Social Media Presence
Sales from social media commerce skyrocketed to 40 percent in 2020. There won’t be a decrease in this figure anytime soon even as physical stores are reopening. With retail now at the tip of the customer’s fingers, online shopping will never be a second choice. In-store purchases will still be there but customers are bound to check the product through social media channels for preliminary research. If you want to attract or retain customers, you need to create social media materials that convey your product’s message effectively.
Social media is a highly sensory channel so appealing visuals are a must. Have them processed by versatile photo editors who understand the market like you do.
Harness an Omnichannel Retail Strategy
The rise of online interaction has not written off offline experiences. Rather, consumers are looking for ways where they can transition to and from both seamlessly. Enter, omnichannel strategy.
Can you ensure consumers that the products they see online are available in your store, in case they decide to drop by? Is your rewards system efficient enough to automatically update points, whether the customer purchases in-store or on the e-commerce website?
The spirit of omnichannel experience is that the customer carries the experience to the next platform without snagging.
One way to pull this off is to create clear how-to’s in maneuvering your brand’s purchasing ecosystem. Don’t forget to incorporate visuals of your product suitable for every channel to entice customers.
Provide Consistent Customer Service
Customer service is a classic indicator of a thriving retail business, no matter what era or season. Good customer service turns customers into loyal brand advocates. Invest in responsive customer service agents who understand the needs of your customers and can provide tailored solutions to your customer’s problems. This is simply a gift that keeps on giving.
Forge Strategic Partnerships
Collaborations and strategic partnerships are key to achieving a better outcome for your business. Savvy businesses partnered with brands that complemented their product line and shared their vision. Established brands teamed up with up-and-coming entrepreneurs to rejuvenate their customer base, while allowing the latter to expand their horizons. It’s a competitive world out there but it doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game to survive.
Adopt Sustainable Social Practices
Advertising giant Ogilvy did a study in 2020, which revealed that sustainability has become an important priority in the brands that they patronize. While it sounds like a buzzword for some, there is no denying that consumers want to create a positive impact in society any way they can. And it starts with the brands they use. Do you want to be one of those brands? Heed your consumers’ call.
