From insights on how to leverage digital customer experience data to future-proof online journeys to tips on using empathy-driven design to improve site experience, the report is packed with real-life learnings and use cases. With more than 450 retail clients from around the world and data covering billions of transactions and customer journeys, Contentsquare has established itself as an expert in the digital retail experience.

“We looked beyond the data for this report because we believe that the best insights come from simply speaking to the people who know. Who better to ask for advice about delivering outstanding digital experiences in the retail space than the experts themselves? The most innovative brands are the companies that ultimately know everything there is about customer happiness and the human digital experience. Contentsquare brings the insights and data that supports customer innovation and allows them the ability to understand their customers,” said Contentsquare Chief Customer Officer John O’Melia. “We’re committed to displaying customer data in a visual, intuitive, and easy-to-understand way: clear, accessible, actionable data—for everyone.

“We’ve seen a shift in retailers as they’ve become more and more digital-forward, both as a response to the pandemic but more so in preparation of what’s to come. There’s a realization that really great marketing is rooted in experiences, which are often digital,” said Contentsquare Chief Marketing Officer Niki Hall. “With chatter of Web 3.0 and metaverse getting louder, marketers are becoming more and more creative, trusting analytics to help them create content targeted directly at their current and prospect customers. They’re actively looking for tech solutions that support their brand ambitions, leaning into the growing bond between data and experience as it continues to define the next era of marketing. What Contentsquare provides from an experience analytics standpoint complements and reinforces the identity and experiences brands create. We each innovate in our own ways, with both ultimately joining forces to satisfy the customer.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
