The document proposes using technologies like computer vision, sensors, and data analytics to capture customer touchpoints and behavior in physical stores in order to better understand customers, increase customer experience and conversion rates, and improve marketing effectiveness and operational efficiency. A solution is outlined that involves collecting data from sources like video cameras, WiFi, beacons, and point of sale to analyze customer segmentation, journeys, and preferences. The goal is to help stores compete with e-commerce companies by gaining similar insights into personalized customer experiences.
2. • Customer Identification, prioritization and Engagement are the key factors to increase Customer Experience and increasing
the Customer Life-Time Value
• In the age of e-commerce where e-retailers record every touch point of their customers and leverage that for personalized
customer experience, stores lack behind in that area
• With the advent of new technologies in hardware and software both, stores stand a chance to get a competitive advantage
Context
• Analyze past purchasing behavior (in the store) and other activities outside the store ( Digital Presence) for identification and
prioritization of the customers
• Map the customer journey in the store for better customer service, marketing activities and operational efficiency
• Analyze customer behavior within store by sentiment analysis, feedback etc. for improvement in conversion rates through
better customer service.
