Today’s agenda We will highlight some of the key trends in Retail using Compete’s panel of 2M consumers and our Online Shopper Intelligence quarterly survey.  Ship to Store Facebook Effect on Retail Online Sales Tax Impact
Retailers have made some decisions that could signal next evolution in online retail business model.  LL Bean announces free shipping on all orders…is this the beginning of the end of shipping charges? Walmart begins home-delivery pilot in San Jose market…will home grocery delivery finally go mainstream? Best Buy is latest retailer to announce plans to reduce its store square footage…could a day come when a retailer moves its business entirely online?
The Numbers
Retail segments that offer essential household items and “one-stop” shopping experienced the largest traffic increases. Total Online Visits – by Retailer Segment (in millions) Largest YOY Declines Largest YOY growth
Office supply and department store retailers both experienced healthy YOY gains in conversion rates. Online Conversion Rates – by Retailer Segment Largest YOY Growth Largest YOY Declines
Consumer intent to purchase online appears strong during the next 6 months. What categories do you intend to buy online in next 6 months? (n = 3269) Source: Compete Online Shopper Intelligence – Q1 2011 Survey
Looking ahead ,[object Object]
Trends indicate home improvement retailers primed for success during their peak spring and summer seasons
Increased focus on monitoring and stealing market share from competitors
Traditional mass-merchants need to identify ways to differentiate themselves from Amazon’s growing online reach,[object Object]
One of the ways traditional retailers are trying to differentiate themselves is by offering to ship to store. What is Ship to Store? Retailer delivers order or pulls from shelf Consumer picks up order at store 2 Consumer places order on Retailer site  3 1 Select Retailers That Offer
Ship to store has become an increasingly popular shipping option for shoppers in the last year. % of visits that ship-to-store is selected during checkout
Consumers choose ship to store because it is cheaper than paying shipping costs. Why do you choose the ‘in store pick up’ or ‘ship to store’ option? (n=1611) Source: Compete Online Shopper Intelligence – Q1 2011 Survey
The main reason consumers do not select ship to store is due to the inconvenience of picking up the order. Why don’t you choose the ‘in store pick up’ or ‘ship to store’ option? (n=1357) Source: Compete Online Shopper Intelligence – Q1 2011 Survey
Looking ahead ,[object Object]
Will be counteracted by online retailers who offer free shipping and eliminate inconvenience of visiting store
“Buy online, pick up in store” marketing likely to become more focused on instant pickup of in-store products
What about applying this concept to grocery?

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Today, we’ll have two presenters. My name is Damian Roskill and I am the Managing Director of Marketing here at Compete. I’ll be leading the webinar.Our supporting presenter today is Jason Caine. Jason is a Director at our Retailpractice here at Compete.Jason will walk us through specific examples that highlight how competitive intelligence is being leveraged by Compete’s retail and consumer products clients to increase their marketing effectiveness across the online funnel.
  2. But before we begin, some webinar logistics.Today’s webinar will be recorded – we’ll email a link to the recording after the webinar.If you have any questions during the webinar, please enter them into the questions box on the right. We’ll work through all the questions at the end of the webinar and try and answer as many as we can.If you’re having technical difficulties viewing the webinar, try using a different browser such as Firefox.Finally, we’ll be tweeting during the presentation, so, as a reminder, the Twitter hashtag for today’s webinar is #oce.
  3. Let me also take a minute to give a little background on Compete.Compete is a leading provider of marketing effectiveness products and services. We help marketers measure advertising and promotional effectiveness, website effectiveness, search marketing and competitive benchmarking.We do this by leveraging a panel of over 2 million US consumers to give marketers insight into consumer behavior.Compete combines these products with industry specific expertise to offer our clients insights tailored to their industry and needs.Compete is part of Kantar Media, a subsidiary of WPP – which enables us to offer our clients a holistic view of consumers by leveraging other companies in the Kantar family such as Kantar Retail and Dynamic logic.
  4. Increase in home improvement traffic could be sign of improving economyDeclines in electronics retailer traffic likely due to lack of new hot products
  5. Office supply retailer conversion rates likely helped by decreased trafficHealth & beauty retailers likely losing some market share to mass merchants
  6. Walmart plans to offer more real-time “pick-up today” at all stores by summerBest Buy was one of the first to introduce this offering; likely cause for flat numbers
  7. Retailer point of differentiation in offering this service might be weakened as free shipping goes more mainstream
  8. Gas prices will likely weigh on costs associated with ship to store vs. traditional shipping in the short-term
  9. Walmart has experienced success by creating a community-oriented dialogue intended to spotlight and get to know its customers (vs. pushing its products)
  10. Retailers are successfully creating awareness but do not capitalizing on an opportunity to build deeper relationships with their customers
  11. Opportunity: Integration of more community oriented product reviews from friends on Facebook pages could increase their influence
  12. Some states have begun requiring online retailers with a physical presence in a state to charge a sales tax.
