Why Insider?
Designing and delivering a unique and constantly evolving omnichannel shopping experience for customers is challenging for retailers. Brands must meticulously manage the performance of physical and online stores, plus a range of value-driven supporting channels and services to deliver a brand experience that consistently surprises and delights an increasingly diverse customer base. Insider’s platform allowed Virgin Megastore to unify its online and offline data and then leverage it to deliver personalized messages across 12+ channels—an advanced level of native channel support not offered by any other vendor.

USE CASE #3
Driving purchase decisions with Social Proof to increase CVR by 15.3%
The challenge
Virgin Megastore wanted to reduce the number of people who frequently visited product detail pages but didn’t add items to their cart. They needed a solution to motivate these hesitant shoppers to make a purchase, rather than click off the site.
The solution
Insider recommended using Social Proof, a conversion-boosting feature that displays real-time behavioral data from other customers on product detail pages. Social Proof highlights how many people have specific items in their basket, are looking at an item, or have previously purchased. This strategy helped emphasize the popularity of products, encouraging potential buyers to purchase based on the influence of the crowd.
