Create the ideal customer experience
with Atcore Omnichannel Marketing

Omnichannel marketing is a hot topic these days - and with good reason. If you truly succeed in your omnichannel approach, you will be able to deliver a great omnichannel experience across all channels, which ultimately means a higher engagement and more sale. However, when it comes to omnichannel retail, the missing link is knowing what the consumers really want.

Luckily, we can’t read people’s mind. What we can do, is to use the data available and to listen to the consumers. Based on their preferences, needs and online behaviour, we are able to create a personalized omnichannel experience.

Why? Because we want consumers to stay within the experience of one brand to encourage higher engagement and more sale. Today, shopping exclusively through a single channel every time is a rare, maybe even non-existing phenomenon. Customers shopping experience involves both physical stores, online, from brands alike and across channels - but people tend to stay with your brand, when all channels work together in a seamless shopping experience.

Modern purchase behaviour is driven by personalized engagement through timely and relevant content, whether it is B2B or B2C. It’s about providing consumers with what they want, when and where they want it. This is omnichannel marketing.

"Online sales are growing steadily, in spite of a furious competitive online market with both price pressure and international players."

Matas is a Danish based business, founded in 1949, that operates a chain of drug stores across Denmark. The store's motto is "Good Advice Makes the Difference". The chain consists of +290 stores, employs approximately 2,300 people and has an annual revenue of approximately 1.6 billion kr (About 300 million USD).

Challenge

Matas faced a series of challenges. Dramatic increase in competition from large supermarket chains, pure play webshops and international competitors in an increasingly price focused marketspace. While their digital presence delivered sales in their webshop, it also meant a lot to their physical sales in their 296 stores. Like most retailers, Matas struggled to understand how much online research impacts offline purchase. They were therefore unable to aggressively increase their marketing spend to face the fierce competition.

Work

Atcore envisioned a solution where digital and physical sales were fully integrated and where it was possible to document digital ads effect on physical sales, as well as using the full dataset to intelligently promote their offerings digitally to consumers. The Atcore data team therefore integrated all transaction and behavioral data across offline and online, which revealed fundamental knowledge for the entire business. It gave Matas the capability to dramatically increase budgets while maintaining positive ROI.
