Provide Personalised
Experiences
Your customers, both on and offline, crave a
personalised, bespoke service. Its actually much
easier to achieve this online.
You cant magically change the layout of your
brick-and-mortar store to suit individual customers
preferences. But online, with the smart use of data
and the right technology, its possible to provide
customers with unique personalised experiences.
For example, giving your customers relevant product
recommendations or discounts in real time is the
online equivalent of having a helpful personal shopper
in store.
And these tailored recommendations will pay off conversion rates are 5.5 times higher when customers

Stock Indicators
Nobody likes to miss out.
The principle of scarcity means were inclined to
place a higher value on items that are running out.
Stock indicators and countdown timers do this job for
your website, proving the popularity of your product
while also inducing urgency in your customers.
Your customers will also appreciate the clarity, by
providing fair warning you reduce the likelihood
theyll suffer last minute disappointments.
If your stock does run out, leaving your prospect
forlorn, why not get their email and contact them when
the item is restocked? This personalized service will
keep customer happy and enable you to make the
sale in the future.

Showcase Your
New Stock
Despite your customers loving a discount, brand new
products still hold an allure and higher status than
sale products.
Limited edition lines in particular can create mayhem
- with fashionistas camping outside stores or bashing
their refresh buttons online in the desperate hope
of being one of the only people to have a certain
product.
Whether its on the high street or online, you put
your new stock where your customers can see it.
Make your new stock the main feature of your site.
Run campaigns drawing attention to key pieces and
complement them with fresh content to convince your
customers.

The Strategy
We launched a tiered lead generation campaign to re-engage visitors
and rescue abandoned shopping baskets. When visitors showed
intent to exit from the M&S website, we served them an overlay with
a discount incentive designed to encourage a purchase. The overlay
message dynamically changed depending on the value of items in
each visitors basket.
Visitors then simply entered their email address to grab their unique
promo code. An email was instantaneously sent to their inbox, giving
them the opportunity to purchase at that moment or come back later.
