AI and machine learning are poised to revolutionize the retail sector by 2026 according to Gartner. AI has the potential to reveal valuable consumer insights, provide a comprehensive customer view, and facilitate personalized interactions. In addition to enhancing customer experiences, AI’s impact on retail operations includes the optimization of supply chain processes, reduction of expenses, and boost of operational efficiency. Let’s delve into the transformative power of AI in retail and learn how to integrate it into shopping with Cappasity.

Minimizing returns with AI

AI plays a pivotal role in reducing returns for retailers; a common pain point that can lead to increased operational expenses and decreased profits. Retailers can harness AI capabilities to predict and prevent unnecessary returns by delving into customer data, purchase histories, and feedback. This analysis helps to identify reasons for frequent product returns. Retailers can also create better product descriptions, offer accurate sizing recommendations, and implement virtual try-on experiences.

Additionally, AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can address customer inquiries in real-time, minimizing post-purchase dissatisfaction. In curbing returns retailers cut operational costs. There’s also the potential to promote sustainability through the reduction of waste and minimize the environmental impact associated with reverse logistics.

Creating intelligent promotions

By analyzing a customer’s purchase history, online and in-store behavior, as well as data on their preferences, lifestyle, and shopping habits, AI can help retailers to create real-time promotions tailored to each customer’s unique profile. Additionally, AI can map out a shopper’s buying journey and offer incentives that encourage conversions at various stages. This shift from generic discounts to targeted product offers ensures that customers receive deals on items that genuinely align with their interests. This has the effect of boosting sales, fostering customer loyalty, and optimizing promotional budgets.

Producing the product that meets customers’ expectations

By leveraging AI-powered analytics and consumer behavior insights, retailers can gain a deeper understanding of customer preferences and trends. For instance, AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns in consumer behavior, such as popular colors, styles, or features. This information allows retailers to tailor their product offerings to meet specific customer demands, resulting in more personalized and targeted products that resonate with their target audience.

How to integrate AI-powered personalization with Cappasity

Cappasity offers its enterprise clients access to an AI-driven analytical system designed to analyze consumer behavior on websites or mobile apps. For instance, Cappasity’s AI technology assists brands in measuring consumer engagement by tracking interactions with 3D Views, such as rotating items and zooming in.

Moreover, Cappasity’s AI generates a heatmap (Zoom map) for each product, visualizing customer interactions with product 3D Views. Retailers can use these heatmaps to conduct A/B testing, comparing and analyzing reactions from different focus groups to enhance product packaging.

With Cappasity’s AI technology, retailers can extract precise data on consumer behavior and preferences. Each 3D View on a website is associated with relevant tags, enabling the collection of specific data on distinct audience segments. For instance, you can observe how consumers in particular age groups respond to specific product categories. This analysis proves valuable when studying diverse audiences and their interactions with various products or categories. Enriching your understanding of customer behavior, the extracted data also aids in crafting targeted marketing campaigns tailored to different audience segments for enhanced campaign effectiveness.
