Showrooming refers to the phenomenon of consumers - or potential consumers - browsing products in a retail store, and then ultimately purchasing online at a lower price through another store. In the age of the Internet, the sight of a customer who will visit a store and use their smartphone to scan the barcode, hoping to find the same item at a cheaper price from a different vendor has become commonplace. Through exhaustive research, the authors of this book investigate this exploding trend and offer strategies, tools, and training approaches that can help to transform showrooming customers into in-store sales. Offering retail managers and owners deep insight into how they can stem the loss of resources to showrooming, this book, through a close, systematic examination of showrooming, provides insight and understanding of the value added through customer service and expert salesperson knowledge. Retailers will learn how to implement essential, incremental changes to infuse value in the customer experience and entice significantly improved in-store sales while building core customer relationships and enhancing loyalty. 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aSales management 606 $aMarketing 606 $aSociology 606 $aRetail trade 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 606 $aSales and Distribution 606 $aMarketing 606 $aSociology 606 $aTrade and Retail 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 0$aSales management. 615 0$aMarketing. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aRetail trade. 615 14$aInnovation and Technology Management. 615 24$aSales and Distribution. 615 24$aMarketing. 615 24$aSociology. 615 24$aTrade and Retail. 676 $a658.8/72 700 $aBachrach$b Daniel G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0937451 702 $aOgilvie$b Jessica$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aRapp$b Adam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aCalamusa IV$b Joe$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254959003321 996 $aMore Than a Showroom$92184123 997 $aUNINA
