A non-technical guide to leveraging retail analytics for personal and competitive advantage Style & Statistics is a real-world guide to analytics in retail.
Independent shop owners have the benefit of knowing each customer by name, understanding their style and dislikes, and reaching new customers by referral and local advertising. That type of personalized service and promotion is simply out of reach for big brands and retailers. Style & Statistics takes the powerful insight of data analytics and puts it in your hands to ensure a personalized, white-glove treatment for every customer, no matter how many there may be.
As comprehensive as it is approachable, this groundbreaking new guide unlocks the digital world of retail for the people who can do the most with the information. While in-house executives and buyers may never meet in-store sales staff, their ability to excel at their jobs is intimately entwined, and this holistic approach illuminates a path to breaking down the silos in a retail organization through shared data and insight. Conversational examinations of each business component highlight the practical functions and obstacles professionals encounter on a daily basis and then demonstrate how data analytics can be applied to improve overall business performance, customer satisfaction, and as a result, profitability. Inspiring examples of a variety of retailers reveal you don't need any experience in mathematics or IT to effectively use analytics to enhance your contributions and value to your company.
