Introducing a white paper from Coniq, the total customer engagement company for growth-minded shopping malls, outlets, town centers and retailers. Coniq’s platform, IQ, provides a faster, economical and simpler way to generate revenue by understanding, anticipating and engaging customers through personalized experiences in real time across multiple channels and touchpoints.
Omnichannel retailing means more than e-commerce platforms where customers can buy products found elsewhere online. An engaging digital and in-store customer experience recognizes the shopper across all touchpoints with the shopping center, focusing not only on the transaction but on a personalized understanding of each shopper and their emotional connection with their entire customer journey — before, during and after purchase. It is a place where shoppers can see curated fashions and accessories simultaneously featured online and displayed within the center. It is an immersive digital experience where shoppers who are unable to make it to the mall still can, in effect, browse the store windows and see which fashions are being featured by the physical stores.
Three factors are driving landlords to adopt an omnichannel model:
Operators that fail to create an omnichannel retail experience will play catch-up as competitors change their operating models and technologies to drive more revenue from their physical assets.
Landlord-level e-commerce is no longer just theory. Real estate companies are putting it into practice. A few examples:
2018: Compagnie de Phalsbourg unveiled a unique proposition through Coniq’s partnership with Wishibam, enabling a store shopping experience with e-commerce.
2020: Citycon, which operates shopping malls across the Nordic countries and Estonia, launched a click-and-collect service that allows consumers to buy products listed across all the shops within a specific mall.
2022: AWR Lifestyle will be integrating its Shopify e-commerce platform with Coniq technology, working to collect smart data to better understand its customers.
