Post-Covid-19 impact: Customer-First collaboration between Retailers and CPGs in a new reality

Webinar On Demand

Webinars

The events of the past six months have had huge repercussions for grocery retail.

But despite reporting record revenues, many retailers are struggling to convert sales into profits. With higher running costs, changes in Customer behaviour, stock shortages, social distancing, and growing price sensitivity, there is little doubt that this will continue for some time to come.


There's never been more value in being able to track how Customers are influenced by the changes going on around them and respond to future trends before they even materialise. Doing this effectively, however, requires Retailers and CPGs to come together, pool their insights, and work out how best to meet those future Customer needs.

In this webinar, we'll explore how to overcome the barriers that are holding many Retailers and CPGs back, what needs to change, and how both parties can benefit from Customer-First Insight Activation.

Join experts from dunnhumby as we:

  • Explore how to launch a new data and media insight activation during these uncertain times
  • Learn how companies around the world have recently done so successfully
  • Demonstrate how it can be done effectively while teams work remotely
  • Show the importance of design consultancy ahead of execution

Retail success takes many forms in today's dynamic marketplace. From large legacy retailers to disruptive start-ups and all manner of competitors in between, the paths to retail success involves common principals around which there is a wide variation of understanding and execution.

To bring clarity to the issue of what makes a winner, dunnhumby, the global customer data science firm, conducted a massive survey of more than 7,000 U.S. shoppers for the second annual Retailer Preference Index (RPI), the first study of its kind in the industry. In what's quickly become known as retailing's equivalent of research firm Gartner's often-cited Magic Quadrant, dunnhumby's RPI is a ranking of more than 50 large food and consumable retailers based on a combination of shopper sentiment and financial performance.

The "new normal" isn't really normal at all. Life amid COVID-19 has forced U.S. consumers to adopt new behaviors, dramatically impacting how they shop, work and go about their daily lives. Trips to the grocery store are now once weekly trips to buy essentials and stock the pantry for home cooking. And, vulnerable consumers now rely on online ordering and delivery services they were once reluctant to try.

On average, it takes 66 days for new behaviors to become automatic. The majority of U.S. consumers will cross that milestone under pandemic restrictions very soon. Retailers should prepare now to successfully serve their customers after the "COVID curve."

FOR RETAILERS

Smarter operations and sustainable growth, powered by Customer Data Science.

FOR BRANDS

Better understand and activate your Shoppers to grow sales.

Retail leaders must objectively understand how their business currently considers Customers before trying to set a more Customer-centric direction and focus. There are some formal assessment methodologies, like dunnhumby's Retail Preference Index (RPI) and Customer Centricity Assessment (CCA), which offer detailed evaluations of a business' capabilities, strengths and weaknesses based on Customer perceptions (RPI) or global best practices (CCA).

The approach outlined below is not intended to replace these formal tools; rather, these observations are intended as a kind of 'toe in the water' to help retail leaders form early hypotheses and points of views. These are rules of thumb, heuristics culled from global experience. Later, leaders might use these observations to informally check progress from time to time as a way of assessing whether the "program in the stores matches the program in our heads".
