Labor Shortages Will Cause Personalization Problems for Businesses 

Loyalty
July 12, 2023
Recent years have brought a series of seismic economic shifts, some expected and some unexpected. E-commerce burst onto the scene as the standard medium of consumption thanks to the pandemic, with players like Amazon seeing explosive sales growth. And with that growth came a massive trove of customer data.

This data harvest brought a competitive edge to online players that brick-and-mortar stores were unable to match because it led modern customers to grow accustomed to deeply personalized and adaptive shopping experiences.

Modern customers are growing accustomed to deeply personalized and adaptive experiences.

Customers Expect Personalization Now More Than Ever

According to a recent national independent research study commissioned by PayiQ, 91% of consumers somewhat value a personalized customer experience, with 50% saying it’s very or extremely valuable. With personalization being a top priority among consumers, you’d think getting them to part with their data in exchange for a carefully tailored loyalty experience would be easy, but this simply isn’t the case.

91% of consumers somewhat value a personalized customer experience, with 50% saying it’s very or extremely valuable.

That’s because many consumers do not want to part with their personally identifiable information (PII), and this is especially true among younger generations like millennials. Privacy is a concern, and any business in search of personal data will face both a skeptical customer base and a whirlwind of evolving compliance regulations.

The Perils of the Demographic Cliff

The problem of this growing demand for personalization is compounded by the reality of the upcoming demographic cliff expected in 2030. As the baby boomers retire en masse, huge gaps will be created in the labor market. These openings will be filled by enterprising millennials who are highly educated, digitally savvy, brand-centric, and interested in lucrative careers. This employment shift will leave countless frontline jobs in businesses unfilled.

That’s why so many businesses are scrambling to find ways to replace people with technology. Soon many front-line positions could be replaced with a mix of unattended point-of-sale systems, robots, and 3D party services, all of which move the customer experience further away from brands and any form of personalized engagement.

Although elements of this shift are already underway, the impersonal touch of a technology-mediated customer experience will only dilute the value customers want from a brick-and-mortar experience. The only hope of keeping up with the personalization expectations of customers in a market unstoppably careening towards an unattended future is to implement a data solution that can keep up with—or match—digital players.

The impersonal touch of a technology-mediated customer experience will only deflate the value customers want from a brick-and-mortar experience.
