After the click on the order button, the work really begins for successful online retailers: Because those who accompany their customers through the shipping process and beyond the arrival of the package with good services not only increase the satisfaction of their online buyers, but also their own sales. That's why the Munich-based start-ups Adnymics and parcelLab are putting individual after-sales services at the center of their joint presentation at this year's plentymarkets Congress.
Munich, March 08, 2017 - March 17 is a must-attend date for the e-commerce industry: that's when this year's merchant congress of ERP system provider plentymarkets will take place at the Kongress Palais in Kassel. 40 expert presentations await the approximately 1,500 participants of the 10th plentymarkets Congress, 60 exhibitors will flank the event with their information booths.
These include the two Munich-based start-ups Adnymics, a provider of personalized parcel inserts, and parcelLab, developer of a customizable parcel tracking solution. Together, the two companies want to show visitors what personalized after-sales services can look like - and how online retailers can benefit from them in concrete terms.
After-Sales Services: The personalized customer journey doesn't end after purchase
The topic of personalization has been the perennial hot topic in e-commerce since last year: big players like Zalando or About You are setting new standards with their focus on personalized customer approaches, which are quickly adopted by customers. In the meantime, numerous studies have proven: Online shoppers expect personalized services, offers tailored to them personally, or individual consulting services.
Retailers who meet this need can look forward to significantly increased conversion rates. But what many retailers forget: The personalized customer journey does not end with the purchase. Retailers can also provide individualized support along the path from the order to the customer - with the service from parcelLab. The start-up offers retailers the opportunity to communicate with their customers even after shipping confirmation, instead of leaving this contact channel to the logistics service provider. Personalized shipping messages inform the buyer at any time about the whereabouts of his order.
This not only pleases the customer, but also reduces the number of inquiries to the retailer's customer service department by up to 30 percent. Once the package has reached the customer, Adnymics' solution enables online retailers to use the emotionally charged moment of unpacking to address customers individually: the company evaluates the buying and surfing behavior of online shoppers and uses this to generate individually compiled package inserts with product suggestions, personalized voucher codes or specially created editorial content.
As a result, the package inserts achieve a significantly higher relevance for the customer than their classic predecessors - which, as has been proven, has a very positive effect on the repurchase rate of online shoppers.
Together, parcelLab and Adnymics are upgrading the entire shopping experience from ordering in the online store to the moment of unpacking to an ideal, individualized customer journey. With their services, the online retailer appears to take personal care of each individual customer. This not only increases customer satisfaction, but also turns expensive one-time buyers into loyal existing customers.
