BUTTERFLY EFFECT INTELLIGENCE™ HAS EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN UNDERSTANDING THE RETAIL MARKET ACROSS VARIOUS CLIENT SEGMENTS, INCLUDING LOW INCOME, MIDDLE MARKET AND MASS AFFLUENT.
Important factors to consider when building a value proposition for the Retail segment include:
What are the key market drivers influencing retail clients globally and locally? E.g. How are clients affected by changing regulations, political uncertainty, technological innovations and leading rewards programmes?
What are the needs and aspirations of retail clients in different income bands, at varying life stages? E.g. How will the needs of a middle income, married professional with young children be different to the financial needs of an affluent, retired individual?
How are your competitors responding to the needs and aspirations of different retail clients in different income bands, at varying life stages? E.g. Is communication targeted and customized to clients based on what is known about them through Big Data?
It is essential to have an accurate picture of the complex and intricate market dynamics and competitor landscape of the market, enabling you to design your own compelling value proposition based on what makes your company unique and special.
It is valuable to assess your competitors against the following attributes:
