Q: What strategies does Snoop Consulting use to improve customer experience through digital transformation and data-led personalization?
A: One key approach is unifying data from both digital and physical channels. Information from these channels is often siloed, but integrating it provides a comprehensive view of customer behavior and an easier path to personalization. Customers are initially grouped by affinity, identifying common preferences among segments. The next step involves tailoring experiences to individual customers and recognizing the unique needs and preferences of each person. This individualized approach can significantly improve the retail experience.
Snoop Consulting advocates for blending digital and physical experiences to provide a seamless and personalized customer journey. This involves recognizing customers across channels and creating consistent and engaging interactions both online and in-store. By cleaning and analyzing this data, businesses can better understand and connect with their customers.
