- #35: According to a Harris poll in the U.S., 69% of people webroom, while only 46% showroom. Some of the primary reasons for this have been offline retailers understanding the importance of omni-channel selling, resulting in the adoption of an ecommerce storefront, in addition to a focus on providing a better in-store customer experience. Whether that's through tactics like knowledgable sales staff, in-store pick-ups of online orders, in-store Wi-Fi, or smartphone discounts nudging shoppers to buy in-store, webrooming is creating waves in retail. Showrooming was once seen as an existential threat to bricks-and-mortar retailers, but it turns out the reverse dynamic is more popular. Reverse showrooming is actually more common than showrooming. In the U.S., 69% of people reverse showroom, while 46% showroom, according to a Harris poll. And showrooming isn't the territory of the young, as many might assume. In fact, the data shows that millennials too prefer to reverse showroom. For electronics, shoes, sports equipment, and cosmetics, more millennials say they prefer to reverse showroom, rather than research in store and then buy online. Amazon remains the No. 1 place where showroomers end up making their purchases, but it's an even more popular destination for reverse showroomers who ultimately buy elsewhere. Social media has also become a major referral source for bricks-and-mortar chains, not just e-commerce sites. But only recently have traditional retailers begun to capitalize on reverse showrooming. Offline retailers have realized they have a lot to offer, as long as they can integrate offline and digital, and beat e-commerce competitors on convenience. They're using tactics like knowledgeable sales staff, in-store pick-up of online orders, in-store Wi-Fi, and smartphone discounts that nudge showroomers to buy in-store. New initiatives for the connected in-store experience keep popping up: tablets and mobile phones used as register systems, robotic arms that deliver clothing into dressing rooms, and beacon hardware, which powers in-store maps and automatic hands-free payments.
