Empowering Store Associates with Local Knowledge
Retailers understand that store associates drive sales and influence the buying decisions of their customers. A strong associate is not only a product and style expert, but also knows the store inventory and has a grasp of customers’ preferences and buying history. Armed with a mobile device that provides real-time customer and product information, store associates know which products their customers are likely to buy.
Retailers also understand that all shopping is local and purchases are reflective of local tastes, culture, preferences and weather. Store associates with a strong understanding of these local buying trends, insights, and local preferences can deliver a more personalized shopping experience to their customers, leading to increased sales and better customer service.
