Online & mobile stores provide personalized experience

Online store and mobile app provide uninterrupted and convenient shopping functions and also more personalized customer experience. Customers can trace their order and delivery status or contact the merchant at any time on web or with their mobile.

Pick up at store encouraging cross-channel sales

Merchant provides online consumers with the option of picking up goods in stores to achieve the purpose of cross-channel sales. When the online consumers pick up the goods and stay in store, merchant takes this opportunity to recommend products to them through face-to-face communication. According to statistics, this strategy successfully leads 15-20% of online customers spending again in the store. Moreover, merchant holds free wine tasting activities in the store from time to time which effectively attract online consumers to the physical store. The staffs can understand the preferences and needs of customers by face-to-face and provide personalized services which increase customer satisfaction.


Create community for information sharing

Nowadays, there are more channels for promotion and publicity through various social media, however excessive advertisements may become annoying to customers. Merchant established a group on social media platform for sharing knowledge and information about liquor in a soft perspective. Customers can also exchange opinions with others. Under the mutual influence of the community, the purchase behaviour will be encouraged. In addition, merchant invites KOLs to share product reviews and opinions in their social media platforms.

Merchant use an enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems that integrated with different sales channels. Apart from centralized management of product, order and inventory information, the ERP systems also aggregate and analyse customer data from different channels.
