Radio in store: così si comunicherà con i clienti nella Fase 2

Nella fase 2 di riapertura, sarà fondamentale puntare sulla comunicazione. Per questo lL Radio In-Store, servizio strategico di M-Cube, diventa strumento chiave per la comunicazione nei negozi.

Già da qualche settimana M-Cube (attivo su 240 clienti tra cui Despar, Esselunga, Benetton, Motivi, Elena Mirò, Etro, Tod’s, Carpisa, Yamamay) lavora attivamente nella creazione di contenuti per le radio In-Store dei retailer aperti, soprattutto nel settore della GDO, utili a gestire al meglio le criticità di questo periodo, e si appresta a farlo anche per le catene delle categorie merceologiche di prossima riapertura.

Per il personale di vendita sono stati creati messaggi per comunicare le misure adottate dall’azienda per garantire la sicurezza dello staff all’interno del punto vendita, informare sui protocolli e linee guida adottate dall’azienda e sulle nuove normative vigenti e ricordarne il rispetto da parte di tutti i membri del personale. Importanti anche i messaggi di incoraggiamento e di ringraziamento per favorire un clima positivo e sereno fra gli addetti. Questi messaggi vengono normalmente trasmessi negli orari a ridosso dell’apertura e della chiusura.

Per i clienti vengono realizzati due tipi di comunicazioni: informative ed emozionali. Le prime servono per ricordare al cliente le norme di comportamento, raccomandare l’uso dei dispositivi di sicurezza messi a disposizione all’interno del punto vendita, raccontare le misure che l’azienda ha adottato per garantire la sicurezza dei propri spazi e prodotti, annunciare tutti i servizi che il brand mette a disposizione per uno shopping sicuro, come, ad esempio, consegna a domicilio, shopping online, prenotazione posti in coda etc. etc.

I comunicati emozionali vengono utilizzati per fare sentire il brand più vicino ai propri clienti e favorire un clima positivo e rassicurante durante la permanenza in negozio.

M-Cube ha inoltre lanciato un servizio di comunicazione on-demand attraverso il quale il personale di vendita può attivare e gestire comunicati specifici tramite una app dedicata.

Nell’imminenza della riapertura delle catene della moda e del lusso l’attenzione si sposta anche su nuovi temi, in vista dell’introduzione o del potenziamento di nuovi servizi come appuntamenti, pagamenti senza passare dalle casse, ampliamento dell’offerta grazie agli schermi digitali.

Per far percepire il brand più vicino e attento ai propri clienti talvolta i messaggi vengono registrati da persone particolarmente rappresentative dei valori del brand (lo stilista, un testimonial importante).

Ma la radio in-store è soprattutto musica e serve per trasmettere atmosfere e stati d’animo: in questa delicata fase di riapertura al pubblico la selezione musicale, oltre a comunicare l’identità del brand, è un elemento fondamentale per creare un clima sereno, rilassato e rassicurante. Per questo il team di Sound Designer di M-Cube ha elaborato nuove playlist per questo periodo, pensate per trasmettere serenità, valori comuni e senso di appartenenza.

Secondo quanto afferma Mike Sponza, Head of Music e responsabile del reparto audio di M-Cube: “In questa delicata fase di riapertura al pubblico, la capacità aggregativa della musica diventa il un nuovo parametro dal forte valore emozionale che va a sommarsi ai rapporti tra la musica all’interno dei punti vendita e il mood, i valori e l’identità del brand. Negli ultimi due mesi, le canzoni sono state uno dei più solidi collanti tra le persone distanziate. L’esperienza maturata da M-Cube nella gestione dei palinsesti in-store di clienti attivi anche durante il periodo di lockdown ha dimostrato come la shopping experience tragga giovamento anche dalla messa in onda di canzoni che fanno parte del nostro background musicale, sia italiano che internazionale. Tali selezioni hanno contribuito a creare atmosfere serene e rilassate ed un clima piacevole e rassicurante nel punto vendita, rafforzando allo stesso anche il senso di comunità.”

 

Recruiting Day 2017 per i Bialetti Store

Al via la campagna di recruiting Bialetti Store 2017. Due sono le giornate di recruiting che  si terranno rispettivamente a Milano il 21 febbraio e a Roma il 7 marzo per la selezione di store manager e addetti vendita per i negozi presenti e di prossima apertura a Milano, Torino, Bologna, Verona, Roma, Rieti e Napoli.

I candidati dovranno dimostrare di avere esperienza pregressa nel ruolo di store manager e almeno un anno di esperienza per quello di addetto alla vendita, caratterizzati da ottime attitudini commerciali ed orientamento al risultato, discreta conoscenza della lingua inglese e preferibilmente di una seconda lingua, con conoscenze informatiche, spiccate capacità organizzative e doti relazionali e comunicative. Sono ricercate persone proattive, dinamiche e appassionate del proprio lavoro.

Monster.it, ancora una volta, affiancherà Bialetti nella selezione dei migliori talenti attraverso l’analisi dei curricula caricati sulla piattaforma online, la preselezione e la convocazione agli eventi di Milano e Roma, dove i partecipanti avranno l’occasione di sostenere colloqui di selezione direttamente con il personale di risorse umane e retail di Bialetti. Saranno selezionati 200 candidati, 100 a Milano e 100 a Roma, a cui sarà data la possibilità di intraprendere un percorso di inserimento come store manager o addetti vendita.

Il recruiting day – ha spiegato Nicola Rossi, country manager di Monster Italia – è la soluzione preferita dai grandi brand che hanno l’obiettivo di sviluppare campagne di recruiting estensive sul territorio. La nostra esperienza ci insegna che il processo di selezione diventa più efficace e si ottimizzano i tempi garantendo un impatto ad alto valore aggiunto. Si tratta di una formula che permette alle aziende di essere accompagnate in tutto il percorso di recruiting e di realizzare al contempo efficaci strategie di employer branding. Una soluzione amata anche dai candidati che possono valutare meglio la posizione e conoscere bene l’azienda incontrandola dal vivo.

La campagna rappresenta una nuova tappa all’interno dell’importante percorso di sviluppo intrapreso dal Gruppo Bialetti negli ultimi anni, nell’ottica di una crescita significativa del brand e della sua strategia di employer branding, che vedrà nel 2017 un importante piano di aperture di nuovi punti vendita tra Italia ed estero.

The connected store: technology is changing the role of the sales assistant

“The connected store is a necessity”: that’s how Henri Seroux, Senior Vice President EMEA of Manhattan Associates begins in this video interview conducted during the World Retail Congress.

Omnichannel in fact brings with it a change in the role of physical stores and of how new generation sales assistants must operate in assisted sales, particularly in the clothing and luxury goods sectors, but not only. To provide an excellent service, in fact, they must know the online and offline history of the customer, ensure completion of the order process, facilitate cross-channel returns and exchanges and accelerate payment and check-out.

Today’s sales assistants no longer remain behind the counter or at the till, but are constantly on the move inside the store, creating a new class of sales consultants (sales, customer service and order completion assistants) with specific skills able to ensure the best shopping experience possible, across all channels.

Costan zero-impact refrigerated counters in the Naturasì Biomarket at the Expo

A more sensible use of resources, low energy consumption and environmental protection are, broadly speaking, the foundations on which the organic industry is built, and are also the key themes for the Expo. These principles have led to the collaboration between Costan (brand from the Epta group) and Naturasì, which is participating at the Expo with the Biomarket, a 350 square metre retail area at the heart of the Biodiversity Park, where the buying experience is combined with sustainability. For Naturasì and Costan, this means protecting the environment, in particular by reducing energy consumption in the cold chain – which in a point of sale accounts for an average of 40% of the total consumption – thanks to the use of low emission counters and a transcritical CO2 refrigeration system, resulting in an almost zero impact on global warming potential (GWP).

“The green, natural refrigerant solutions used,” confirms William Pagani, Epta’s Group Marketing Director, “perfectly integrate into a wider project, which sees working alongside NaturaSì to promote respect for the environment and a more sensible use of resources.”

By using technologically advanced solutions, Epta guarantees excellent presentation and perfect preservation of food items, whilst maintaining quality. In specific terms, Costan has provided the Bellini Trend and GranVista plug-ins (incorporated unit counters) from the Rev UP Family, customized with pale wood cladding and abutments, guaranteeing maximum uniformity of the display and eco-sustainability of the store, thanks to the natural, 100% recyclable, materials chosen. Furthermore, the fittings of the new Rev UP range are designed to be energetically efficient, with savings of 62% compared to an open unit, and a 49.5% lower carbon footprint compared to previous models.

“The project completed in partnership with Costan” – comments Roberto Zanoni, the general manager of EcornaturaSì – “intends to promote organic and biodynamic Italian farming and agriculture as a sustainable model which, thanks to its characteristics, is a food system which is capable of responding to the great challenges of the Expo 2015. For us, Feeding the Planet means, in fact, protecting the fertility of the land, not polluting water and respecting the balance of nature, from production through to the selling of food products.”

Starbucks experiments an express format in New York

The new format devised by Starbucks, the US coffee shop giant, for fast consumption on site or take away, is located in a historic building at 14 Wall Street in New York. The case study is interesting, because it concerns an increasingly widespread mode of consumption that has aroused the interest of distributors and companies (think of Coop&Go in the Expo area but also of the British chains like Pret à Manger), but also and above all because it has a number of original aspects, in a decidedly interesting layout for this type of format and in a very limited space: less than 50 square metres.

The pilot project was designed “for customers on the move looking for the quality products of Starbucks in a beautiful environment, together with efficiency that comes from knowing from the outset what they want and being able to obtain it quickly”. Or, as Bill Sleeth, Vice President Starbucks Store Design said, “This location on Wall Street has been specifically designed to take what is at the heart of our cafés and distil it into a smaller space. It is a perfect example of how to balance great design, attention to detail and efficiency, while maintaining what is unique and makes us who we are: our coffee and the customer relationship”.

The new Cefla furnishing solution for the pet industry, a growing segment

A sector that has been showing positive trends for years, that of the pet world. So Cefla Shopfitting Solutions has decided to present for the first time at Zoomark, the international exhibition of products and equipment for pets which recently closed in Bologna, ad hoc furnishing solutions, not only fittings for specialist shops, but also corners to display pet food and furnishing projects for the dedicated departments of large-scale distribution.

Among the furniture proposals were:

System10 a shelving system with ultra-thin shelves that allows optimal use of display space with maximum density, both horizontally as well as vertically. Wireplus is the modular metal wire display system, combining lightness and solidity, creating an elegant, bright and harmonious environment. The range includes islands, end caps, mini-racks, baskets, price holders and partitions which can be combined with each other and with other Cefla products.

Digital Shelf System is the innovative and modular LED lighting proposal: with simplified plug&play installation and its total integration with the shelf, created to significantly improve product display and the customer shopping experience.

For the check-out, Cefla Shopfitting Solutions offers two alternatives: Futura Proxi with integrated LED lighting system and numerous technological features and Futura Plus a check-out created to have the highest possible level of operability, customer interaction and customisation.

Visit to the Coop Future Food District, experimenting the future in the Expo supermarket

[Not a valid template]

Three weeks after the opening and having turned off the spotlights on the “première” of the Future Food District, the much-awaited pavilion that Coop, with the consultancy of Carlo Ratti of MIT, has dedicated to future retailing technologies, the 2,500 square metre area on three levels is increasingly acting as a veritable store.

It attracts, due to its technological equipment and attractive layout, students and passers-by, who then often stop to buy, for example, the ingredients to make a sandwich, perhaps with Cinta Senese salami to feel a bit gourmet without spending a fortune. But it is also used, ensure those who work there, to do the shopping at the end of their shift by Expo workers or by foreign tourists to send Italian Style presents back home, thanks to the DHL counter. A do-it-yourself, low cost gourmet area (but there are others, in the less blazoned halls and among the street food, you only need to look) right in the middle of the big event of the Milan World Expo.

 

Everything is digital, from the price to product information. The products are those of the Coop but not only, there are various partners with their corner, from Barilla to Ferrari. Then there is a section dedicated to the food of the future, from pasta printed in 3D to insects and new packaging for fresh produce. But there is also the recipe book that is built starting from the ingredients. All with a view to technology and customisation of the culinary experience.

Many suggestions and ideas, some already present in certain retailers, especially abroad, others more futuristic.
Among the first there are holograms used for promotional purposes.
