How to Deliver Personalized Shopping Experiences With Fulfillment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remaining competitive and relevant today means retailers must be able to deliver personalized, seamless shopping experiences. Opportunities to personalize aren\u2019t limited to in store and online, the fulfilment centre also holds opportunity to deliver seamless customer experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Personalization?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Personalization is a business strategy that seeks to build brand loyalty through presenting compelling experiences to customers based on their likes and wants. Personalization requires businesses to have a deep understanding of individual customers which demands a strong data strategy. Businesses who get personalization right drive deeper customer loyalty while increasing sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

While consumers clearly want personalization, 73% of CEOs acknowledge the need for products, services and experiences that are more meaningful to their customers. (Accenture, 2018)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\t\t

4 Fulfillment Centre Personalization Tactics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Personalization ideas are limited only by imagination, not channel. From our consulting experience, here are 4 ways retailers can quickly improve customer engagement from the fulfilment center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Handwritten notes in shipment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes \u201cold-school\u201d does it best, and nothing feels more personal than a handwritten note. These can be as short as \u201cPacked by Steve\u201d or \u201cThank you for your order.\u201d The impact on your customer largely outweighs the effort of executing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Personalized shipping labels and packing slips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Branded boxes, envelopes and shipping labels extend the in-store and online experience. Customers are usually excitedly awaiting their package, so take that opportunity and extend a personalized experience with a promotion \u2013 you know they are going to look at the package!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Pre-Printed Return Labels<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Giving a customer the option to return to shipper is giving a customer time back in their day. When a customer receives their delivered purchase, a return label included in the packaging is an expectation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"return<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Customers remember the return process just as much as they remember the buy process. Make it a good experience. Up your personalization game with pre-printed return labels<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Maintain Your Brand Across Fulfillment Channels<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Branded boxes, matching tissue paper, same font and images? Whether you’re dropshipping, using a fulfilment centre or shipping from your store, customers expect an extension of your in-store brand. The customer doesn’t see your organisation as separate channels. To them, it’s all one “store.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer Journey Extended<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Personalization extends the shopping journey, either providing more opportunity to buy in-store or online due to being provided recommendations or afterward, with consistent branding and customized offers that arrive via packing slip or shipping label.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as your offerings need to omni-channel, your personalization strategy needs to be implemented wherever there’s a customer touchpoint. This includes packages coming from the fulfilment center. Meeting your customer where they are means your processes, data, and enabling technology have to be on point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
