This document discusses IBM's Social Merchandising solution for retailers. Some key points:
- Social Merchandising combines internal and external customer data sources like social media, surveys, call centers to provide merchants insights into customer sentiment, trends, and perceptions.
- It aims to help merchants understand why customers perceive things like quality and value in certain ways, not just what is being said.
- The solution provides a dashboard that tracks key metrics and trends to help merchants make decisions around pricing, promotions, and inventory.
