Publication Online Availability(Springer, 2019-11-01) Gruen, Thomas; Corsten, Daniel; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75This chapter presents a research study of online availability (OLA) in six non-food consumer goods categories (baby care, fabric care, hair care, oral care, skin care, and shave care) at online and omnichannel retailers in six major countries (China, France, Germany, Japan, UK, and USA). It provides insight into the extent of online availability (OLA) and its opposite non-online availability (NOLA) using data from online retailers’ websites, reports from surveys of online shoppers, and surveys from managers of online retail and branded goods manufacturers. It illuminates online shoppers’ encounters with NOLA and reactions to it with a detailed examination of switching behavior to alternative options. It estimates the lost sales opportunities and provides guidelines for improving OLA.Publication How Direct-to- Consumer Brands Can Continue to Grow(Harvard Business Review, 2021-11-01) Rangan, Kasturi; Higgins, Matt; Schlesinge, Leonard; Corsten, Daniel; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75Direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands such as Allbirds, Casper, Peloton, and Warby Parker have creatively found a weakness in the marketing citadel of incumbent brands. By using data gleaned from daily interactions with customers, these brands have been able to adapt how they serve their unique customer communities across a start-to-finish purchase journey. The best of them have parlayed that ability into a profitable business model applied across multiple channels and customer segments. But as successful DTC brands mature, they must recognize the need to evolve. The authors offer four principles for continued success: (1) Focus on deepening customer relationships, not just making comparisons with competitors. (2) Accompany the customer beyond the initial transaction. (3) Omnichannel is about value addition, not cost reduction. (4) Strengthen the core first; consider extensions later.
