If Eagle Eye CEO, Tim Mason, had the chance to launch another Tesco Clubcard loyalty scheme today, you can be sure he would ensure it was digitally enabled and data-driven from the outset, as he sets out in his new book,
Omnichannel Retail: How to build winning stores in a digital world.
In it, he argues that, while loyalty is far from dead, it has evolved to encompass the availability of relevant and engaging offers, compelling content and differentiated services, like order ahead, scan & pay or click & collect, made available via mobile. These capabilities can help any retailer or brand establish and maintain meaningful connections with customers that can help them not only survive but thrive by boosting sales and frequency – online and instore.

The Digital Imperative
Eagle Eye announces the launch of a new book,
Omnichannel Retail: How to Build Winning Stores in a Digital World, by our CEO, Tim Mason, to help deliver profitable, bricks and mortar retail in the digital age. To mark its publication, a series of 12 blogs summarises the book chapter by chapter, and includes exclusive excerpts as a preview of its key themes and recommendations.
Analogue Learnings
Eagle Eye recently celebrated the publication of our CEO, Tim Mason’s new book with a launch party that marked how far retailers have come. Thinking back to the days when store managers knew most of their customers by name, this second blog serialising Chapter 2,
Analogue Learnings, explores how loyalty first developed in modern retail.
Loyalty Is Dead
In Chapter 3 of
Omnichannel Retail, Tim argues that his Clubcard experiences and the best practice answers the question, “
is loyalty is dead?” Loyalty is an emotion, and so is far from dead. In fact, retail loyalty is alive and well – both in the traditional formats we’ve become accustomed to through stamp cards and points schemes and in many new guises.
Your Location In The Physical World
Omnichannel Retail explores the acquisition, conversion and retention strategies that will be effective for bricks-and-clicks retailers in future. Loyalty is not dead, but traditional customer loyalty today has limits. In this fourth blog post from the
Omnichannel Retail series, we begin to focus on the role the store has to play in the total retail offer.
How To Create The Digitally Augmented Store Of The Future
A well-executed ‘omnichannel’ strategy offers a seamless customer proposition across sales and marketing channels. It also does so profitably, thanks to the integration and optimisation of end-to-end operations too. In this fifth Eagle Eye blog serialising
Omnichannel Retail, we continue to explore the role of the physical sales channel in this mix.
How To Enhance The Customer Experience Instore With A Mobile Makeover
In this sixth in a series we look at how to get business buy-in for digital store augmentation. The ‘digitally augmented’ store is so important in levelling the playing field for bricks-and-mortar retailers. But many are struggling to modernise their legacy store estates, which is where the ‘mobile makeover’ comes in.
How To Use Customer Data To Optimise Business Performance
In this seventh Eagle Eye blog serialising our CEO, Tim Mason’s new book,
Omnichannel Retail: How to Build Winning Stores in a Digital World, we explore the first area retailers need to apply customer data insight. That is, to run their businesses better. The book makes the case for the digital imperative to connect with customers in order to better understand them.
A Practical Guide To Performance Marketing
The eighth Eagle Eye blog serialising the key themes explored in the book Miya Knights co-authored with Tim Mason,
Omnichannel Retail: How to build winning stores in a digital world represents the lessons he learned and how to use digital to overcome some of the marketing challenges he faced.
How To Win Customers With An Ecommerce Business Model
Although Tim Mason’s new book focuses on redressing the imbalance between businesses’ ability to connect with customers digitally as easily in stores as they can online, Chapter 9 recognises the key role ecommerce plays. If customers are increasingly blending online and physical sales channels throughout their shopping journeys, then it is worth understanding why.
