Algolia CEO Bernadette Nixon will be at the eTail East Conference to discuss how retailers can better adapt to further improve the online and in-store shopping experience for their customers.
You can read the session summary here and join us at the panel on Tuesday, August 9, 2022. You can also visit Algolia at booth #504 and speak to our search experts on how to craft the best hybrid retail experience for your business.
The top minds in retail will be meeting at eTail to explore the most pressing issues in the industry, including what disruptions organizations will need to adapt to now and in the near future. Algolia will be there to lead a panel with Party City, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Lowe’s Companies on how the lines between physical and digital have blurred and what steps businesses are taking to ensure that they can succeed in this constantly evolving environment.
While the pandemic has forced retailers to accelerate digital innovation, it also has altered how customers shop. The lines between physical and digital are now less defined, with more consumers searching and purchasing via mobile and desktop, while also seeking out retailers near them through online searches. The commonality: making decisions through search.
Once a consumer has found the item they want or the retailer that they want to shop at online, search is the make-or-break moment in their decision making process. How quickly and easily can a product be found? Is this the right variety of product being presented? Does this retailer appear to have what the consumer is searching for in stock? Once a consumer finds what they’re looking for, does the product look as appealing online as it would in person?
Hybrid retail must address these types of questions to guide customers digitally while engaging them as much as a physical shopping experience. Search merchandising, or searchandising, drives sales through curated search results for ecommerce retailers. Organizing products with a searchandising approach demands a search as a service solution that puts marketers and business owners in control of what appears in their search.
The online search experience also impacts traffic to physical locations in buy online, pick up in store (BOPIS) scenarios. The right mobile search experience lets brands better differentiate themselves and improve conversion rates. While the end result is a buyer visiting a brick-and-mortar location, the mechanisms driving the sale are digital.
Retailers now struggle to build an online presence that can provide a modern experience, accurate inventory, and an engaging discovery experience. Brands are also challenged to balance physical retail and grow margins with online engagement, all while facing rising labor and commodity costs, leading to rising cost of goods sold (COGS).
With competition from well-established online platforms plus new, niche, online-only retailers, the competitive landscape is pushing brick-and-mortar vendors to evolve and adapt if they are to maintain and grow market share. Retailers now need to strategize around search concerns that include:
