「零售商大遷移」(Great Retail Migration)，過往消費習慣一去不復返 2021-9-2 17:20

在過去一段時間，疫情肆虐，零售業面臨急速的轉變，消費者趨於網上購物，然後已經漸漸成為最新的購物情況，過往的消費習慣一去不復返。 (圖片來源：Shutterstock) 「2020年，東南亞有 4,000 萬個網路新使用者，代表該地區目前有超過 70% 的人口都會使用網路。在 2020 年的線上商務交易中，新購物者貢獻的占比超過三分之一。而在這類群體中，有八成的使用者表示將會繼續使用線上購物，且全球各地都呈現了類似的趨勢；只有 23% 的客戶表示，疫情結束後會恢復實體店消費的習慣。在 2020 年的線上商務交易中，新購物者貢獻的占比超過三分之一。而在這類群體中，有八成的使用者表示將會繼續使用線上購物。」 (截至Think with Google段落) 網上購物已成現在進行式，而消費者對於購物體驗也有更大的期待，雖然網上商店無法做到和實體店鋪一樣的體驗，但對於消費者的整體消費歷程也可以提供流暢便利且個人化的體驗。零售業銷售重點：數碼化轉型整合全渠道銷售零售商大遷移的浪潮，對於商家的數碼化轉型至關重要，從傳統零售邁向數碼化整合平台，全渠道的銷售及整合，會是這波浪潮的關鍵。在因應此波轉型浪潮，Posify整理Google觀點，提供3個數碼化轉型要點，幫助零售商未來業務成長。傳統商家踏出品牌經營第一步在全球接受問卷調查的國家/地區中，有超過 75% 的受訪者表示，自己在 2020 年居家防疫期間透過網路發掘了新品牌。另外，有 30% 的線上購物者購買了新品牌的產品，這表示他們對於陌生公司與品牌抱持開放態度，願意接受全新品牌所帶來的商品及服務。 (圖片來源：pexels) 對於零售業來說，投資品牌形象經營勢必消磨不少成本，但對於消費者來說是可以增加彼此的信任度與加深品牌連結，根據統計，只要消費者認同產品與品牌的價值觀，他們會願意多花將近 31% 的金額。(資料來源：KPMG, Global Retail Trends, 2020) 品牌經營商戶除了實體店舖的廣告外，也可以利用數位工具來達成事半功倍的效果，例如：Facebook粉絲專頁經營、Linkedin專頁經營、品牌官網建立等方式，更快速的傳播、觸及關注您品牌的用戶。建立D2C品牌官網，直接與消費者面對面溝通品牌官網能夠進一步建立長期的客戶關係。使用者也比較偏好直接與品牌互動：55%消費者喜愛直接在品牌網站上互動直接透過品牌官網互動讓消費者對於品牌較安心，信任感較足，而品牌更有機會提供高質量的購物體驗提供給消費者。 Posify提供多國貨幣設置以及英文、繁中、簡中語言介面來將行銷管道本地化，藉此建立品牌聲譽並贏得客戶信任。而在品牌網站上，商戶可以提供清楚的產品資訊、付款資訊、物流資訊及更有附加價值的服務資訊 (例如會員方案、保固服務和個人化建議等)。因此，購物者為了享有安心保障和更有附加價值的服務，也會願意支付多 20% 的費用。(資料來源：Ipsos x Sixth Factor, D2V and Marketplace Regional Integrated Report, 2021) Posify只要15分鐘，打造獨特風格品牌官網。整合了共三十多款市面上電商常用的頁首、頁尾和網頁設計模板，商家只需要按自己的品牌需要和喜好從中挑選一款，只需一個按鍵，相關的預設模板便可即時套用。您亦可透過內置的編輯器，進一步調整內容，快速完成整個網頁的設計。建立品牌官網，為您的客戶打造極致的銷售體驗。 (圖片來源：Posify) 蒐集第一手客戶資料透過網站Google Analytics分析瞭解銷售對象，並為其量身打造合適的購物體驗。根據 Google 的內部研究，比起不使用第一方資料的零售商，使用第一方資料的零售商收益平均高出 1.5 倍；且若進一步搭配採用更周全的解決方案 (例如跨通路管理)，則收益更可高達 2.9 倍。隨著保障隱私權的聲浪日益高漲，投資第一方資料策略不再是奢侈作為，而是必要舉措。 Posify為您的官網串接數碼化行銷工具Google Analytics，讓您第一手蒐集網站資訊，提供最直接的數據，對於擬定行銷策略是一大優勢。 (圖片來源：pexels) Posify已為零售商大遷移做好準備 Posify因應零售業變遷，提供全通路銷售渠道整合，只需一個系統，您便可以同時管理實體店舖、網上商店的商品、銷售及庫存數據，打通線上線下全通路銷售解決辦法。為您的客戶於線上和線下購物，提供一致體驗。現在立即登記一對一免費諮詢，讓專業的顧問提供開店諮詢：https://www.posify.me/hk/consultation

冇廣告Budget？唔洗怕！ Posify送您4個Instagram小貼士，免費獲取更多曝光流量！ 2020-9-17 15:49

根據Statista在2018年的調查顯示，Instagram每月活躍用戶超過10億，當中超過5億的用戶表示每天都會使用平台。因此如果品牌和圖片能夠更容易被用戶搜索得到，再引流到網店結帳，必定可以帶來不少免費曝光和生意。貼士一：以SEO的角度去撰寫Instagram 用戶名稱及姓名圖片來源：IG截圖平時我們在Google等搜尋引擎想搜尋某類型的產品或商店時，都會輸入相關的關鍵字，其實Instagram的原理亦相同。例如您的店鋪事務是售賣歐洲的代購商品，你便可在用戶名稱或姓名輸入「歐洲代購」、「名牌」等一些常見的熱門關鍵字眼，盡量避免過多的符號和意義不大的字眼，以便提高自己IG商店的搜尋結果排名，增加曝光率。貼士二：在每張商品圖片加入精準有效的Hashtags（標籤）圖片來源：IG截圖加入Hashtags（標籤）可以算是其中一個最能直接為您商品帶來曝光機會的方法，因為只要用戶在查看該標籤的相關照片時，您的圖片就能出現。但需要注意的是，加入過多的標籤雖然能提高圖片被搜索到的機會，但比起單純的瀏覽量，能有效為您帶來生意的標籤才是更重要。因此，在加入標籤前，可先參考網路上Instagram中的熱門hashtags數據，亦可使用例如Hashtags Finder等網站軟件，去為您提供一些更具方向性的的建議。貼士三：為圖片加入ALT TEXT，讓Instagram更容易判斷你的圖片內容圖片來源：IG截圖 ALT TEXT是用戶自定義替代文字，讓電腦能透過替代文字更容易判斷圖片的內容， ]nstagram在最近幾年亦新增這項功能。此舉原意是通過語音功能，讓視障者能「閱讀」圖片上的ALT TEXT，從而感受圖片社交的樂趣。另一方面，愈精準的圖片描述，愈亦有助Instagram替您將圖片分享給適合的用戶群組，從而有效增加轉換率。操作: 新帖子界面→進階設定→撰寫替代文字貼士四：善用「限時動態精選」功能，建立您的IG最佳櫥窗圖片來源：Adidasorginals - IG截圖每個IG用戶只可以填寫150字的字體簡介和輸入一條網站連結，大大限制了商家利用Instagram引流客人到網店結帳消費。這時候，利用「限時動態精選」是一個很好的解決辦法。「限時動態精選」英文是Instagram Stories Highlights。一般的IG Stories在24小時之後就會消失，而Instagram Stories Highlights則可以讓用戶保留stories在置頂位置，稱得上是你IG店的最佳櫥窗。Stories Highlights最多同時顯示4則，超過4則則會被收在右邊。如果專頁擁有超過一萬名粉絲，你更可以在Stories中加入購買連結，刺激客人直接到你的網店結帳。以上這些都是一些簡單而實用的辦法，正所謂「寓娛樂於工作」，一於邊玩IG邊做生意，快來試下吧！你的網店流量和生意，或許也會隨之而悄悄上升呢！網店完整功能免費試用：https://bit.ly/3jvcAEB

Online Shop Would be a Better Alternative for Merchants than Physical Store Nowadays 2019-12-6 12:07

Compared with the same period of last year, the total value of retail sales in the first half of the year fell by 2.6%, and the retail sales in July fell by 11.4%. The Hong Kong Retail Association even predicts a negative growth in overall sales throughout the year. The path of economic development is full of uncertainty. Source: Freepik The recent social movement in Hong Kong isn’t the only reason why the overall merchandising revenue of Hong Kong is declining, but also due to global political turbulence, like the China–US trade war. Some merchants started their online business just to find their way out through this mess. So, how exactly can running an online shop benefits merchants? Source: Photo by Matthew Henry from Burst Hong Kong has always been well known for its sky-high shop rental. Many merchandising startup companies are intimidated by this costly situation. However, things can go a little bit easier for them when they start their businesses online. Running an online shop means there’s no monthly rental pressure. It’s flexible and low-cost, hence enhancing cash flow flexibility and provides a better business environment. If there’s no physical store, merchants won’t be affected by whatever troubles caused in the street.

Merchants can reach their target customers without limitation thanks to globalization, expanding the market from local to global. No matter where customers at, they can go online shopping anytime and anywhere with their mobile phones and credit cards. Physical stores can never provide such convenience like online shop. Due to this dramatic change of consumer behaviour, it’s now a perfect moment for merchants to shift their businesses to the online world or start an online business.

Quick Guide - How to Keep Customers Coming Back for More? 2019-11-15 17:13

In one of our previous articles titled “Does giving out promotion really increase your revenue?”, we talked about how giving out discounts and promotions do not exactly equates to higher revenues. While it may draw in a large crowd in the short term, it does not retain them nor bring customers who may stay after the promotions have ended. To build from that article, we want to talk about how do you keep customers coming back. Retaining customers is a very important part of having a business. This is because a 5% increase in customer retention could effectively increase the profit by at least 25%. How is this possible? That is because returning customers are easier to sell to, especially once they are aware of the quality and deliverables. In fact, returning customers are 67% more likely to purchase from a business that they have already purchased from compared to a new business. Data Source: (“The Value of Online Customer Loyalty”, Baim & Company Mainspring) Source: Shutterstock Why Customers Are Not Returning To Your Business? Source: Shutterstock What are some of the reasons that customers stop coming back to a shop once they have completed their first purchase? Some of those reasons could be that: Further purchases could be made elsewhere If a customer realizes that there is no difference in buying from the current business or elsewhere, then there is no reason to come back. There will just do their buying in another establishment which is more convenient for them, or even online! The business does not carry items that fits their needs Customers like to buy things that suits their need. To push that one level higher, they would like to buy things that are personalized or within their preferences. Knowing that they like and having goods that meet those preference will be highly valuable in retaining their attention. Customer Service is not great “Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning” - Bill Gates There is no denying that great customer service that makes customers feel welcome and special are the best way of keeping customers around. However, making customers happy isn’t the only marker for great customer service. A proper customer service team must also learn how to deal with complaints and unhappiness while turning them into future opportunities Now that we know some of the possible reasons for what keeps customers from coming back to a business, the question now is how do we fix them. Here are some steps to consider to improve customer retention: Source: Shutterstock Have a loyalty program to reward returning customers There is no better way to show appreciation to returning customers by allowing them special prices whenever they visit. Retail outlets like Jack Wills have membership tiering which allows loyal customer to enjoy discounts of up to 30% whenever they purchase from one of their many outlets. Not only that, an effective loyalty program also makes customers feels special on occasions such as birthdays (which is personal to the customer) by giving further freebies and promotions. The goal is to make the customer feel like they are given special treatment by a business compared to other businesses, hence the reason to keep coming back for more. Keep customer’s up-to-date with the latest offerings Whenever a customer says “NO” to a sales offering, they are not saying “NO” to the business forever. It may just be that the current offerings is not what they are looking for at the moment. That means that the business can still get the sale from that same customer in the future. The best way of making sure that the customer comes back is by keeping them updated on what the business have at all time.

According to a new report “Digital Retail on the Rise” by KPMG China and GS1 HK, the fast-emerging digital technologies such as online payment and mobile wallet are transforming consumer shopping behaviors. Source: Shutterstock KPMG and GS1 commissioned YouGov to conduct two surveys in this report, polling more than 300 largely Hong Kong-based C-level executives as well as 1500 consumers in Hong Kong and across 9 GBA cities. The report provides an overview of digitalization and technology trends in retail sectors in the Greater Bay Area (GBA). Source: Designed by Posify A.

Most of the consumers across all areas reported having consumed online media, free and paid channels within the past year, with the rate among Mainland consumer standing at 69% which is slightly lower than the 74 % of Hong Kong respondents who answered this question in the affirmative. This indicates that the fasting-emerging digital technologies have transformed in the ways consumers behaved. B. Survey about CEOs in Great Bay Area Data Analysis – The Most Important Digital Technology for Businesses in the Next 2 Years The C-level survey shows that data analytics is the most preferred pathway for businesses in the coming two years, at 23 percent. However, while 77 % of polled executives said they are just collecting data, only one-third are currently analyzing the information. This reflects that it is not common for enterprises to use data analytics to drive better business insights. Developing Multichannel Strategy is No Longer Difficult as the Past Developing a multichannel strategy was one of the biggest challenges faced by the organizations in the past, but there is a significant drop from 42 % to just 23 % in executives’ responses about it this year. It reflects that the enterprises have overcame the perceived barriers and implemented at least some form of working solutions to omni-channel retailing. C-level Executives’ Growth Strategies for the Next 2 Years In terms of growth strategies in the coming two years, O2O marketing and real time data analysis are ranked as third and first respectively. 28 % of surveyed C-level executives said they will seek to develop more integrated O2O marketing and fulfilment strategies to bridge online and offline channels, and 37 % of them want to become more data-driven to generate more real-time insights.

Does Giving Out Discounts Really Improve Your Business? 2019-10-23 10:41

Let’s face it, we all love a great deal, especially after seeing how much we are saving if take the deal. The prospects of having a great deal were so strong back in the 2000s, that it led to the meteoric rise of Groupon, the kings of providing great deals. Source: Shutterstock However, that is not to last for long… Within a few years from their inception, the business took a nose dive to oblivion. What happened to the company that Google wanted to acquire for USD 6 Billion in 2010? What happened to the company that had reached IPO in 2011? Source: thewisemarketer.com This is where we are going to breakdown the effectiveness of discounts and promotions, and see what we can do to perform it effectively. What did Groupon’s promotions actually did for customers and vendors? While Groupon’s promotion mechanism did pull a huge crowd and buyers in, it was not all sunshine and rainbows for the vendors who needed to execute the deals being sold. The first cracks of the company’s business model started with their vendors complaining about the deals being ineffective in keeping customer traction. The customers who did buy deals at amazing low prices did not build loyalty towards the vendors, but constantly kept on moving to the next amazing deal available. So while customers continue to enjoy great deals, the vendors are left to service this deals at very little margin (and sometime without profit margins). This led to a mass exodus of vendors participating in Groupon deals and Groupon having to pour in millions to get vendors to offer their services in Groupon. Eventually the pressure was too big for Groupon, which led to their closure. “Discounts and Promotions can bring in the crowd, but it does NOT build customer loyalty.” I am not saying that discounts and promotions are bad but you should have a plan on how you want to build traction once a customer has enjoyed that discount. Just giving discounts at times gives a bad message about your products. For example, it may make your customer think if: Does your product really bring the value it should be bringing? Is there a defect on the product, hence the discount? Is this shop trustworthy? Did they just raise the base price and used a discount to entice me? In fact, an article published by Harvard Business Review shows that rewards that are given have short-term effects, but a reward that is earned gives a long-term impact. What this means is that by rewarding customers based on their actions, instead of just giving it for free, is the better way of providing discounts and promotions. So what are examples of discounts and promotions that requires customers participate in to reap the benefits? Source: Designed by Posify Customer Loyalty Programme There are many ways to run this programme but the best rules to keep in mind is this: Customers need to spend X amount in a Y period of months to maintain their Membership status so as to continue enjoying Z discount There should be tiers to reward different level of membership which could bring bigger discounts Upselling Promotions The idea of discounts mostly works when the deal is of a sizeable amount. Giving discounts on single items does not benefit the business as the profits from that deal is not enough to sustain the business. However if the deal is sizeable, the discount is warranted. Hence apply discounts and promotions if customers buy in bulk, or buys related items in a single purchase Vouchers and Credits Vouchers and Credits are great ways to keep customers coming back. Assuming after an initial purchase, issue a voucher than grants customers a discount when they purchase again. As for credits, allow customers to take back store credits at a discounted rate. This way you can first obtain the money, and customers are allowed to spend their credits at any time. So here are the best ways to run discounts and promotions, but it does seem that the bookkeeping needed to track all the discounts will be a headache. This is where Posify comes in!
