Standaard Boekhandel | Hello Customer

Standaard Boekhandel's challenges

Standaard Boekhandel is a book retailer with a strong position as a market leader in Belgium and with over 200 stores throughout the country. They want to know how customers perceive their brand to remain relevant in a competitive market that's becoming increasingly more digital.

Their challenges:

Standaard Boekhandel relied mostly on mystery shopping and market research to evaluate the performance of the brand and its stores. But they wanted real-time insights from real customers.
Standaard Boekhandel faces a lot of competition from online platforms like bol.com and Amazon. They want to understand how they can stay relevant as a physical retailer.
Standaard Boekhandel wants everyone in the company to adopt a customer-centric mindset and to see customer feedback as something that offers chances for improvement and growth, and not as a control mechanism.

Hello Customer is our ‘customer pulse monitor’. It keeps us nurtured with customer insights, it makes sure we keep track of our performance so we can improve it. It’s like putting on your activity tracker when you're going for a run: Hello Customer tells us if we're on track.
