ScS taps Go Instore technology for myScSlive service
Go Instore has teamed with sofa and carpet retailer ScS to launch myScSlive, a live video service offering personalised advice for customers shopping from their homes.
Integrated with Appointedd’s online booking and scheduling platform, this allows people to have instant live consultations with ScS store staff.
Customers can also pre-book two-way video calls with an in-store product expert at a time of their convenience.
“The last year has revealed the need to expand our digital offering. Many of our customers are now choosing to shop online instead of in stores but we want to deliver the same experience across both channels,” says Dan Bennett, Head of Online Sales at ScS.
“Go Instore will play an important role in offering an enhanced customer experience, and the Appointedd scheduling feature will be key to our strategy now that stores have reopened, and customers are returning”
“Appointedd’s booking features allow our customers to book VIP consultations with specialists with no distractions, to completely focus on the products they are interested in. We have already seen great take up with this feature with over 30,000 appointments booked.”
“Lockdown has caused a shift in consumer behaviour with almost half of all shoppers now choosing to shop online. Retailers must react to this change in shopping habits and consider how to replicate the in-store journey, online,” comments Andre Hordagoda, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Go Instore.
“Live video helps recreate the entire customer journey and bridges the gap between online and in-store channels. MyScSlive represents a hybrid way of visiting the ScS showrooms, adding a new and highly valuable channel to ScS’ offering.”
