How can they stay on top of what their customers want? How can they reach them effectively? Do shoppers still look at leafl ets, or should retailers shift local marketing funds to social media? These were the questions that gave rise to this book a little over two years ago. As it turns out, they are no less relevant today. If anything, the high pace of innovation in areas such as store formats, big data, advanced analytics, shopping-related mobile apps, and multichannel retailing has made them even more pressing. In this book, Dr. Jesko Perrey and Dr. Dennis Spillecke consolidate McKinsey’s perspective on these pressing questions. They worked with a team of more than 30 distinguished marketing practitioners and experts to incorporate our latest thinking regarding, for example, format develop- ment, advanced marketing mix modeling, highly granular geo-marketing, digital media, and fact-based promotion management. A unique combina- tion of strategic thinking and leading-edge analytics makes this volume essential reading for retail CEOs and marketing enthusiasts alike. Published to great acclaim in 2011, Retail Marketing and Branding: A Defi nitive Guide to Maximizing ROI successfully launched our series Perspectives on Retail and Consumers. It is my privilege to present the second edition today, as well as to announce an upcoming new volume, on technology in consumer industries, due for publication in 2013. I hope you xii FOREWORD will share my excitement about these books and be encouraged to seek out future volumes in the series. Dr. Klaus Behrenbeck Director, McKinsey & Company, Inc. Leader of the European Consumer Sector Cologne, January 2013 INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND EDITION Selling something you have in stock at your store to someone who wants it – that’s not a deal; that’s a transaction. But getting ready to sell things you don’t yet have to people who don’t yet know they want them – that’s more like a deal. As you read this, the reality of retail is shifting from traditional trans- actions to real deals. Retailers operate in an environment of fragmented needs, hybrid consumption, changing channels, multiple formats, big data, and real-time decisions. Building strong brands, developing compelling propositions, and managing marketing ROI is now more complex than it ever was. New entrants, many of them pure online players, are changing the rules of the game. Ever more demanding shoppers want it all – every- where and all the time. Social media spread the news at the speed of light, whether of a good deal or of a broken promise. Retail marketing may rarely have been more challenging, but it was also never quite as rewarding as it is today. When Retail Marketing and Branding: A Defi nitive Guide to Maximizing ROI fi rst came out two years ago, it struck a chord with retailers old and new. It turned out that tools for complexity reduction and approaches for balancing analysis with pragmatism were exactly what senior retail executives were looking for. Enthusiastic feedback from readers all over the world encouraged us to up the ante for an enhanced second edition: xiv INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND EDITION • all-new chapters on format development and fact-based promotion management; • thoroughly revised chapters on digital evolution and digital marketing excellence; • new interviews with Thomas Wagner of SevenOne Media, Armando Branchini of Altagamma, and Uwe Becker of OWM; • more than a dozen new case studies, including Amazon, American Express, Asos, Burberry, Dell, and Tesco; • updated facts and fi gures throughout, including three dozen all-new exhibits. SECOND EDITION ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We are indebted to all our fellow authors and the teams that have supported them in updating existing chapters and creating new ones, as well as to our distinguished external partners and collaborators for their contributions.
