plenty of brand and consumer data, it was far from being efficiently utilized.
The following key points emerged from the meeting
Target segment - Although all consumer segments had their own importance, the youth segment was the most important for EverShine.
Indeed, failure to read the mind of this important segment was the primary reason for the drop in the brands fortunes. This was evident from
the fact that this segment was deserting EverShine for new-age, nimble competitors.
Channels - The brands presence across, and use of online channels left much to be desired. In particular, its communication with
customers was reactive (e.g. responding to complaints on the call center). There was no proactive communication strategy, they were not
listening to the constant chatter on social media channels.
Customer Retention and Acquisition - The brand needed to retain its existing customers, as well as acquire new ones. However, between
the two, it was the former that was more important. Shekhar was reminded of a popular statistic that revealed that customer acquisition was
7x costlier to the company than customer retention.
Data Management - Consumer data volumes had been growing exponentially. However, data management at YourShop was localized, and
not co-ordinated at the country level. Data was scattered in hundreds of departmental silos. Therefore, although the company had managed
to acquire and store vast volumes of consumer data, it was practically useless. It was not possible to derive a single, unified view of the
consumer from this data.
Analytics - The company at best had average analytics capabilities, limited to basic analysis and reporting. They were not designed to learn
what they dont know, and could not generate any predictive insights. In the business landscape of today, the companys decisions had to
be data-driven. However, it continued to rely on historical information and intuition to guess the way forward.
Organizational Structure - The organizational structure was outdated, and unable to deal with the nuances of digital marketing and data
management. There was no Analytics department, and the Marketing and IT teams operated as watertight compartments, coming together
only when it was absolutely essential.
So, what was the solution? Among the various steps required to be undertaken, YourShop needed to come up with a Know-Analyse-Act
(KAA) strategy to tap into the full value of customer engagement, with a view to drive increased loyalty and sales for EverShine. The company
also planned to set up a Customer Center to practically implement this strategy.
Shekhar realized that these problems could not be solved without expert professional advice. After a survey of the market, he chose
Capgemini Consulting for this assignment, owing to their strong credentials in Digital Transformation.
