Consent, Preference, & Insight Data for Retail

Retailers collect more customer data than almost any other industry — loyalty programs, email sign-ups, SMS marketing, and in-store checkout — but that scale creates its own compliance risk under TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and state privacy laws. PossibleNOW helps retailers turn consent and preference data into a competitive advantage: fewer opt-outs, stronger loyalty engagement, and a documented compliance record across every channel.

As the retail industry shifts more towards digital experiences, tailoring your messaging to your customers' interests is crucial.

Motivating customers to share their preferences allows you to personalize your content, increasing the likelihood of a purchase and their repeat business. But individualizing messages is increasingly difficult due to the depreciation of third-party cookies and the inaccuracy of big data. So, to ensure shoppers return, provide the ability and motivation for customers to easily share which of your offerings are of interest and their preferred communication channel via preference centers, websites, mobile devices, email opt-down pages, and service centers.

• 1. Consider the myriad ways customers engage: It's no longer solely in-store or online, but across social media, streaming platforms, mobile, desktop, and more.
• 2. Design opt-down pages rather than global opt-outs, allowing customers to state preferred methods of communication, topics and interests, frequency, and more.
• 3. Provide value in return, tailoring engagement to what matters most to the customer, incentives, and first looks to entice them to return again.
