Omnichannel loyalty in Japan: stores, app and points in one place

For a lifestyle retailer, loyalty grows when every visit, click and purchase connects to the same customer. Working with NTT DATA, a Japanese lifestyle retailer brought loyalty and commerce together in one application, connecting stores, mobile and customer data to grow sales through personalized experiences.
Customer Proximity: Closer Relationships
Personalized digital experiences bring customers closer to the brand.
Sales: Omnichannel Growth
Sales growth from connected digital and physical channels.
Loyalty: Higher Engagement
Stronger loyalty and engagement with the brand.
Personalization: Data Activated
Customer data put to use for personalized offers and content.
One app to connect loyalty, stores and digital commerce
The retailer needed to understand the real contribution of its advertising and marketing actions, moving away from investment decisions where incremental impact was invisible and budget could not be reallocated with confidence.
目的
The initiative set out to increase sales through integrated digital and in-store experiences, and to strengthen customer service quality and long-term loyalty. The ambition was one brand experience across every channel.
機会
Personalization now works at scale. With loyalty, content, recommendations and ordering in one application, the retailer uses each interaction to know its customers better and tailor what comes next.
Connecting every channel around the customer

The retailer faced the practical challenge of linking disconnected store and digital journeys and turning customer data into personal experiences.

主な課題
1: Disconnected journeys. Physical and digital channels worked separately, with no link between a store visit and an online purchase.
2: Customer data not activated. The retailer collected customer information but did not use the data to personalize offers or content.
3: No digital ordering in store. Customers had no way to order products digitally while inside a store.
4: Loyalty apart from commerce. The loyalty programme ran separately from shopping, so rewards did not connect with purchases across channels.
