GETTING TO 'WOW': CONSUMERS DESCRIBE WHAT MAKES A 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 SHOPPING
온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 | 1호 (2008년 1월)
New Wharton research finds that 35 percent of shoppers have had an extraordinary -- or "wow" -- retail experience in the past six months. But in order to hit that mark, retailers must deliver on as many as 10 different elements of the 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 experience simultaneously. Retailers are rewarded when shoppers tell others about their experience.
"Peoples' expectations are pretty high. It's easy to (fall short of those expectations), and hard to eclipse (bad 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브s, even) with something that's over-the-top," says Wharton marketing professor Stephen Hoch.
Wharton's Jay H. Baker Retailing Initiative teamed with Verde and the Retail Council of Canada to discover how retailers can create an extraordinary experience for shoppers. In an online survey, 1,006 shoppers in the United States and Canada were asked: "Can you think of a shopping experience that you had in the past six months or so that was especially 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브, in that the experience created delight and surprise for you in any way?"
A report based on the research, titled "Discovering 'WOW' -- A Study of 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 Retail Shopping Experiences in North America," points to five major areas that contribute to a 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 shopping experience:
-- Engagement: being polite and interested in helping, genuinely caring, acknowledging and listening.
-- Executional excellence: patiently explaining and advising, checking stock, helping to find products, having product knowledge and providing unexpected product quality.
-- Brand Experience: exciting store design and atmosphere, consistently 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 product quality, making customers feel they're special and that they always get a deal.
-- Expediting: being sensitive to customers' time on long check-out lines, being proactive in helping speed the 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 process.
-- Problem Recovery: helping resolve and compensate for problems, upgrading quality and ensuring complete satisfaction.
In all, respondents mentioned 28 elements of a 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 experience, such as salespeople who "immediately acknowledged you" or "could easily explain a product to you" or "seemed genuine."
Paula Courtney, chief executive of The Verde Group, says the typical wow 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 has 10 of those elements at the same time. Further complicating the mission for retailers is the fact that the most important elements vary among individuals.
Retailers can focus on creating a "bedrock," or platform, based on the five major pillars of retail satisfaction to increase the probability of creating a wow 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브. According to the research, four in five shoppers will tell an average of three other people about a wow 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브.
Brand experience and engagement are the strongest drivers of loyalty, according to the survey. The top response was related to engagement, with 63 percent of those reporting that during their 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 shopping experience, store employees were "very polite and courteous." Salespeople who were knowledgeable about the product in the store got the second-highest response at 55 percent. As for execution, about half of those experiencing a wow shopping trip stressed store employees' familiarity with products, their advice and the level of interest in the customers' needs as essential to a 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 shopping experience. Slightly fewer -- two in five -- pointed to surprisingly 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 product quality and store representatives who go out of their way to check stock as crucial elements of exceptional shopping.
Brand experience includes store design and atmosphere, consistently 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 product quality, making customers feel they're special and the sense that customers always get a deal.
Speeding the shopping process is another important trait of a 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 retailer, according to the survey. Three of the four aspects of the expediting pillar -- helping customers complete their shopping quickly and being sensitive to time and check-out lines -- are rated as "very important" by half of those who encountered each during the shopping experience they cited as "온라인카지노 장점 벳무브."
The ability of a retailer to resolve a problem once it crops up is another key factor in determining whether a shopper will have a 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 experience. One in four respondents mention that a store representative stayed with them until their problem was resolved. Fewer than one in 10 said they were compensated for a store error, or that a store representative broke company policy to resolve a problem or automatically offered a product upgrade.
The research also indicates that the components of a 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 retail experience vary somewhat by the age, gender and nationality of shoppers. Younger consumers, aged 18 to 30, were most likely to recall having a 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 shopping experience. Those over age 50 were more likely to mention store representatives who seemed genuine and caring. They also liked being acknowledged and treated courteously. Hoch notes that younger shoppers' retail experiences are colored by 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브er comfort with multitasking and familiarity with the Internet, making them more transaction-oriented than relationship-oriented and less tied to brick-and-mortar stores.
The best way to lay the foundation for customers to have 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 retail experiences is for store owners to hire and train staff who are able to take basic information about shopper preferences and convert that knowledge to customized service.
In the current recessionary climate, price is important to consumers, but only one factor in the overall wow shopping experience. The researchers found that of those experiencing a wow shopping trip, 43 percent said having consistently excellent products was a factor in their recent 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 retail experiences. That was the top response in regard to brand experience, followed by "getting a deal," which was cited by 31 percent of respondents.
While the 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 Depression led to an era of penny pinching, today's economic crisis is leading consumers to focus more on value than price, Courtney says. "With credit cards and retail and telecom, we are seeing value-based buying. ... People are being more scrupulous about where they buy and what they buy. More educated consumers are looking for a better value in everything."
Still, even in a challenging economic environment, she says, retailers are able to deliver a wow experience if they plan to provide the basic elements of a 온라인카지노 장점 벳무브 shopping experience. "Despite shortages of resources and store closings, it is still possible to delight and surprise," she contends. "The possibility exists when retailers have everything in place."
