The customer experience
Instantly connect shoppers with your team of product experts
Shoppers at Marks and Spencers are empowered to choose the customer journey that’s right for them. When scrolling through a product page, they receive a small pop-up in the bottom right of their screen of someone on a headset. When they click, they’re given the option of booking a virtual 1:1 shopping appointment on the spot, or booking a virtual or in-store appointment at a time that suits them. Emplifi supports the virtual shopping experience, and Appointedd connects the pre-booked virtual appointments with Emplifi, and in-store appointments with M&S staff.
“Appointedd enables our clients to meet their customers wherever they are. It shouldn’t matter if you’re online or in store, people should still be able to receive that same level of customer experience wherever they are. Working with Appointedd has enabled us to give our retailers the opportunity to provide exceptional customer journeys”
Bhavna Sakhrani, Global Head of Partnerships at Emplifi
“Our M&S Live Expert service helps us to offer our customers flexible, easy and rewarding shopping experiences whether they choose to shop online, in-store, or both. What’s more, connecting staff to online customers is increasing our conversion rates by up to 40% and receiving 92% consumer satisfaction scores. Our customers have booked a total of 500 appointments in just three months, demonstrating the high demand for our enhanced digital offering.”
