How to manage loyalty programs from HO to various stores?

$

0

Your retail mix is the only reason shoppers visit your store. So, a better catchment will not delight them – after all they are in your store only for this very reason. But that’s where your loyalty management program comes in handy.

Because you can reward them for what they consider it as a mundane task – shopping. That’s how you delight customers. Further, a properly designed loyalty program not only rewards loyal customers, but also helps you provide a window to understand them more – what are they like, why do they buy what they buy, and finally, how do they see you (your retail store)!

Our Head Quarter solution (HQ) allows retailers to roll out, monitor, as well as manage loyalty program.
There are three things you require to manage a loyalty program – Loyalty Card, Loyalty Card Pattern & Loyalty Program Manager.

Let’s see how you can delight customers.

Step 1: Create a Loyalty Card. Assign a meaningful name to it – one that makes business sense, (say) Gold Membership. You can do this through our Loyalty Card Master module.

Step 2: Create a card series using Loyalty Card Pattern Assign module. Here you will specify important loyalty card information such as how many loyalty cards will the series hold, their naming pattern, card value (for points), validity period etc. For e.g. a Gold Membership can have 100 cards (100 customers), with the prefix GM, running from GM00 to GM99 and valid for say six months.

Loyalty Management Solution

Remember, a loyalty card is unusable without proper matching pattern.

Step 3: Assign the card(s) to different stores/outlets. HQ allows you to do this using Pattern Assign History module. Now, you have a loyalty card to be given to customers.

HQ gives you the Loyalty Card Program Manager module!

Step 4: With it, you can create loyalty programs for a specific category (say Kid wear), Items (say Jeans) or Bills (value). Here, you specify important details such as the min & max value etc. and assign it to different stores/outlets. For e.g. you can create a Gold Program such that customers gain 1 point for every instance of purchase they make for bill value over 1000, situated in (say) City Mall.

Step 5: Assign the loyalty card to the program.

Done!

Wait. You can actually do more than just that.

Your customers can decide on whether they want to redeem or collect loyalty points from their subsequent purchases, upgrade/downgrade loyalty programs, reassign loyalty cards, view program performance through reports and so on.

But that’s for the next week. Watch this space for more details.

  • The user has to be in the store to access the software
  • Store information was not available to him at an instant
  • Did not have Business Alerts and notifications
  • Did not have provisions to send SMS Alerts and E-mails to his customers

Being a Mobile store, the Inventory list keeps fast changing, the prices keep fluctuating and stocking has to be accurate. Thus, instant access to store information is key, decision making has to be instant. A cloud/Online POS solutions is thus a perfect fit for consumer electronics retailers

He was aware of his problems and also knew he wanted a cloud solution to overcome his problems. His search was quick. It led him to an efficient and proven online POS solution from GoFrugal – Cloud POS

In general, the report card of a student decides his/her future, report of a client decides the fate of the developers, the reports given by a customer decides the excellence of a retailer. REPORT decides whether a man can have his peace or not.

A good report motivates the retailer to improve his business in terms of both quality and quantity. But who/what justifies good or bad? Day-to-Day expectations of a customer varies which hinders growth and process. It is really hard for a retailer to survive long without a good analytical report thereby changing a retailer’s life into a constant struggle for survival.

The needs may vary based on geographical location of store, and labor hours (freight break-down, shelf put-away during customer peak vs. non-peak hours), seasons and various other factors

Changing Dynamics in Pharma Distribution & Retailing

$

In the recent wake of GlaxoSmithKline’s decision to discontinue the practice of paying physicians to promote its pharmaceuticals and medical devices, pharma retailers are in a state of fix.

As argued succinctly by Phil Baumann in his influential article, the above decision only unearths more questions than answers. The most important of which is - Is the industry ready for such a change?

‘Pay-for-promotion,’ Baumann says, was not only a marketing tactic, but also the fundamental, and probably the only way, of bridging the information gap between physicians (doctors) that need the ‘prescriptive knowledge‘ to treat their patients, and manufacturing companies that makes such knowledge available in the first place.

The reality of a barrage of medical representatives queuing up to impress, but also inform-educate, doctors is a well known one. This kind of ‘white promotion‘ – one where two parties (medical reps from pharma distributors and doctors) engage in a meaningful manner for mutual benefit – is hard to done away with, especially when its alternative is not clearly visible in the horizon.

But this is where Baumann introduces the role of the crucial third front -  ‘the pharma’. In all deliberation, refers to Pharma Software for distributors and retailers. He perceives this as an oppurtunity for these intermediaries, that in his words, ‘…opportunity for pharma is to envision itself as a source of trustworthy information rather than as a seller of…

The Rise of New Age Pharmacy Distributors and Retailers

Let’s understand the dire practicality of it. Doctors depend on the upstream knowledge channel to prescribe drugs to their patients, and while they have their peer network to draw information from, it is limited by its size, time and necessity.

Pharma Distribution Software

Are we going to witness a see-through change in the Pharma industry?

Distributors have, on the other hand, the oppurtunity to work with manufacturers to get sensitized on newer drug offerings, as well as the privilege of working closely with the doctors, while retailers form the bridge for distributors to gain end-customer insights.

This puts them in an ideal position to become ‘knowledge incubators‘, as well as alternative informative marketing channel, of the industry.

While the news was made available in UK, the spokesperson for GSK India said that the proposed changes are designed to “bring greater clarity and confidence that whenever we talk to a doctor, nurse, or other prescriber, it is patients’ interests that always come first”.

Where does it leave Pharma Distributors and Retailers, especially in India?

Well…nowhere, for the moment. For traditionally, the pharma industry has always followed a ‘push’ form of distribution – from drugs to data. Now, with the customers becoming more informed about the ‘over-the-counter’ drug purchases they make, it is time for the entire distribution channel to start listening to them, and that involves distributors as much as retailers.

 It is at this juncture, where they can unearth the oppurtunity!

But the question is, ‘Have they invested in a suitable technology at their point of sale terminal, i.e. a pharma distribution software to capture knowledge, and make it available upstream?

Successful POS Customer's Journey

Retailer’s Journey

Mr Karthikeyan, is yet another successful retailer and entrepreneur who has worked hard to grow his dream of a Retailing. A first generation retailer & sole bread winner moved into city with family to start his retail journey.

In 2007, he took over “Amman vegetable market” a loss making business from his owner and turned it profitable and subsequently in 2011 he started “Amman Pazahamidhirsolai,” in chennai suburbs incurring heavy losses forcing him to shutdown. His biggest constraint was no parking space with no visibility to his shop.

Finally he did ensure his next biggest venture “Daily Mart” with up-front investment started at a prime locality. A store sized 5000 sq feet & turnover of Rs 15 crpa, sells groceries, provisions, food and beverages. He strongly believes customer service & satisfaction is very critical and willing to invest on skill training for his employees to deliver customer delight.

Karthikeyan - POS Customer

Mr Karthikeyan, MD, Daily Mart

He feels that government policy on the cap for bigger supermarket players & restricting them to open new stores, will ensure that smaller independent retailers like him survive & grow. E-commerce adoption into his business is very critical to his business, as he believes, it def’ly aids or influences the buying behavior.

Like many kiranas or the mom-pop stores, it is the business built on a reputation for some it is earned over generations. RAI – Retail Associations of India, the voice of Indian organized & modern retailers, is working with GoFrugal to understand the pulse of such Independent Retailers. We plan to interact with such emerging, independent retailers who form the back-bone of Indian Retail.

Consumer buying behavior is changing and shoppers are coming of age. It is seen with their demand to ‘touch, feel and experience’ any product before they buy

Evidently retailers are investing hugely in delivering the pre-sales experience to their prospects and customers. The demand from shoppers is such overwhelming that even some e-tailers are pulling up their socks and going an extra mile to enable their customers to ‘try before they buy’  and deliver the in-store experience at customers’ door steps

We would like to reciprocate the favor to our beloved retailers, well we have already begun

This Diwali – upgrade your Retail with GoFrugal

Retail mix – “Product – Price – Place – Promotion”

The above 4 components are most important for a retailer. Almost every retailer uses permutations and combinations of the above to manage their everyday business. But successful retailers do a little different -

Successful Retail mix – “Product – Price – Place – Promotion – POS – Profit

POS is a very important component and complement to any retail business. It manages all the 4P’s and delivers the much needed P – Profit. Thus, choosing the right POS is very critical as it becomes the fulcrum to controlling all business operations.

Retailers generally take no time in altering and changing the 4P’s if they do not aid to the business growth. But seldom do we evaluate the performance of a POS and the business impact it makes. Ask the following questions about your POS -

Is your POS

  • Capable of increasing sales and revenue opportunities?
  • Capable of understanding customer needs and allowing you to maintain optimum stock?
  • Helpful in creating smarter sales staff to ensure great customer service?
  • Reducing spillage and controls thefts and malpractices?
  • Future proof? – can it be topped up with features and clients as you grow within the store or with more store?
  • Helping you monitor business through your laptop, tablets and smartphone?

If the answers to the questions are ‘NO’. It gives you a reason to reconsider. An incapable POS is a giant speed breaker to the business, a capable POS should allow you to constantly go forward, further and farther

This Diwali, we urge you to upgrade your retail and go GoFrugal. Profit now

Retro retailers were less explored and so the customers. Retailers handled things manually and even customers did not mind waiting or spending much time in queue. This traditional way of handling things continued for a long time

When technology came to place, people started getting things easily. They are able to get anything they want from anywhere and anytime. As technology has brought more and more convenience in day-to-day life, peoples’ mindset has changed now-a-days. They do not want to spend much time in getting served by the retailers. But, the retailers found hard to cope with the expectations of the customers.

Less queue, quick service time, good shopping experience and quality product were the major things that piled up in customers mind. Accordingly, retailers thought of automating their business and simplifying the process.

reordering

GoFrugal’s POS feature – Reordering

Since then we GoFrugal focused lot on providing a software that makes the retailers’ job easier. We raised the bar in the mind of retailers in line with their customers by providing retail software by which they can handle things easily, effectively and build a better customer relationship

We were amazed to know from surveys that retailers spend nearly 2 to 3 hours in manual ordering. Consequently, a retailer looses nearly 5 days of sales every month. Due to this, the revenue and reputation of the business are affected.

To overcome this, GoFrugal came forth with an exclusive feature called ‘Reordering‘ that helps retailers save time hugely, order as per needs and focus more on sales.

The major advantage of our auto reordering is that it is very easy to use and helps retailers to order based on  different metrics just by a single click.

  • Based on sales (Today, last 2 days, this day last month, customer date)
  •  Based on purchase (Last month, last year, customer date)
  • Order quantity from sales order
  • Based on fixed minimum and maximum quantity levels
  • Order for last N days sales

and still lot more metrics available in reordering features that helps retailers save 2 to 3 hours in each order.

Spend your precious time on sales than in administrative work. Try our advanced reordering feature to enjoy real benefits and get valuable outcomes from the time you spent so far just on manual ordering. click here for Free Trial

Our Resolution for NewYear 2015 – help Retailers with complaint resolution is Assure time and enjoy uninterrupted business

Your retail employee : Sir, we have a problem with our Retail POS System, we need help

You (Proprietor / Owner) : Hmmmm, let me call the salesperson who gave us this retail POS System and see how he can help

(you call the salesperson on his mobile phone and the following could be the responses)

The call generally ends with a pledge and a promise and lacks any assurance of results and resolutions

You know it, your business cannot wait, nor would your customers. Situations like these are scary and make you feel powerless to solve your own problems

As a customer, you have every right to demand best quality of support, but are left being powerless and unsure during the hour of crisis

It is during such times that a retailer should consider the overall value proposition of a POS Software.  The following are the questions one should ask to oneself to evaluate the support provided by a POS vendor -

  • Will I be able to instantly reach my POS vendor through a single hotline (read customer care) number for support? Thus support and service is a responsibility of a company and not individuals
  • Does my POS vendor have a centralized 24×7 support system similar to the way I reach Bank’s 24×7 customer care or that of Mobile networks 24×7 customer care? This will ensure guaranteed reachability
  • Will I be able to communicate my problems and get promised of resolution with finite time range?
  • If I do not get resolution on time or am feeling unhappy with support, do I have the power to escalate and demand prompt support?

As a retailer, with the above you will be paying for ‘Results and resolutions and not for promise and pledges’

At GoFrugal, we power retailers to make ‘Instant complaint registration to getting resolution on-time’. Our 24×7 Assure support at a glimpse -

Enjoy uninterrupted business

Support at GoFrugal

Hear it from Mr. Mahendra of Shringar Fashion group, Bangalore – “In the past  10 years, I have purchased 5 different billing softwares. Everytime, my experience with support had been a nightmare. I believed on a few friends in the company to get support, but when they resign or unavailable, I was stranded for support, forcing me to change the software itself

I curse myself for not having gone with GoFrugal earlier, today, am feeling at peace for the professional quality support that is offered. Most of my issues are solved with GoFrugal support agents through chats itself. Kudos to the support team”

Hear it from Mr. Sanjay, Selections, Shillong – “I have enjoyed with GoFrugal retail POS system since 2011. I have not had anyone from GoFrugal visit my store in Shillong, as there has not been any necessity. All my problems and issues were solved in assure time online”

Make the right decision by choosing GoFrugal retail software, who offers you the above professionalism in support and provides you the power to demand quality support and delivers consistent, reliable and instant support, allowing you to be at peace

Indian retailers need consultation, not just software

$

Indian retailing is unique in its nature, unlike western world where businesses are similar in the processes & operations, Indian retailers operate in their unique way. For example, no two supermarket owners operate their business in the same way, a supermarket may have only groceries & packaged products, another supermarket may have Vegetables & fruits additionally, and another supermarket may sell meat outside their shop. So when they want to automate their business, right from sourcing to selling & accounts to customer relations, same software product may not be sufficient to fulfill their requirements. Not only for supermarkets, Apparel, restaurant, bakery, electronics, pharmacy all businesses are different either in the process or operations in one way or other.

If a retailer has a single store/outlet, the repercussions after buying software without clearly understanding how it supports its processes &operations may be little. But for a retailer with multiple stores in multiple locations problems can be compounding.

So as a software vendor, one has to study customer’s business requirements properly, understand the process and verify whether the software can meet the requirements or not. Also as a technology specialist, one has to advice customer the best practices to accelerate the growth of business.

GoFrugal, a pioneer in providing best business automation solutions to Indian Retailers & Food and beverages businesses, uses its unique solution delivery process to deliver its solutions to retailers.
