成功案例

  • 一家大型全国连锁药店希望调整自身的忠诚度方案并为实施客户关系管理战略做好准备。L.E.K.结合竞争环境对该连锁店现有的忠诚度方案进行评估,判断调整措施是否能够改善利润率(或引导顾客行为)而不损害销量,以及该零售商是否应给予其顶级客户特别奖励。此外,我们还为其规划了最优方案架构与发展路径,最终成功降低了方案总成本,并改善了其成本效益比。
     
  • 一家大型宠物食品制造商希望提升其旗舰品牌在另一家全国领先的仓储式连锁店中的销量。针对该渠道中所存在的一系列挑战,如有限的宠物食品库存量单位(SKU)以及对自有品牌的过度重视,L.E.K.协助该客户制定了相关方案,大幅促进此项业务的盈利性增长,并总结出其他品牌可参考的有益经验。最终这项双方共同制定的策略预计将在三年内产生700万美元的营收增值。

Examples of our work

To learn more about how we help clients create value in the MDC sector, please refer to these insights and case examples:

  • A large national drugstore chain wanted to recalibrate its loyalty program and prepare the foundations for a CRM strategy going forward. We assessed the current loyalty program in a competitive context, assessed whether changes to the structure could save margin (or drive additional behavior) without negatively impacting sales, evaluated whether the retailer should differentially reward its top customers, and identified the optimal program architecture and path forward for the client. The resulting plan reduced overall costs and improved the cost-benefit ratio of the loyalty program.
  • A major pet food manufacturer wanted to grow its flagship brand’s sales within a leading national warehouse club chain. Facing a number of challenges within the channel, including limited pet SKUs and a large private-label focus, we assisted the client in developing a plan to significantly and profitably grow the business and identified potential lessons that could be extended to other brands. The agreed-upon strategy is expected to generate an additional $7 million in three-year cumulative operating income.
  • We assisted in reevaluating the growth and corporate strategy, and identifying areas for performance improvement, for a leading global mass merchant. We assessed the major dynamics of the market, conducted a detailed competitive review, evaluated the price and value proposition compared with competitors, and conducted detailed analyses across category management, store footprint and profitability performance. Ultimately, eight initiatives were identified to significantly improve financial performance.
