Inventive Shopping

Inventive Shopping focuses on the crucial question, what kind of retailer do our customers need us to be?

To answer this, we work to reconcile the disruptive landscape of retailing with your customers’ fast changing behaviors, unexpressed needs and future expectations. We understand your customers’ constantly developing preferences, motivations and aspirations on a personal level, also taking into account your commercial and operational parameters. Then we use our insights to create compelling customer propositions, strategies and experiences that help connect your people to your customers, helping you every step along the transformation journey. Inventive Shopping Solutions is our unique vision for clients who need to think inventively in the business of retailing. It examines the fundamental role of retailing in the lives of people, transforming the value propositions and experiences retailers provide, as consumer expectations evolve, and new entrants and technologies disrupt the market.

How we help you define a new role in shopping

Inventive Shopping is how we help retailers explore and redefine the fundamentally different role they, as retailers, will be playing in people’s lives. It’s how we help transform propositions and capabilities into what’s next in retailing, enabling customers to shop cleverly and experience better. Because, as customer expectations evolve and new entrants and technologies disrupt the market, traditional retailers will need to create new experiential spaces to bring to life their customer strategies and propositions.

Make the six essential shifts in online shopping

What does all this mean for you, on the ground in the world of retailing? What are the trends you need to embrace and address? Inventive Shopping is how we help you unlock customer value, optimise staff potential and build the strategic people and technology capabilities you need to achieve the six essential shifts in retailing:

To create personalized experiences
To launch new channels

To re-evaluate the power and value of data
To empathize with your customers’ values
To redefine and orchestrate new value chains.
