7 What are Customers really Looking for? Serving this always-connected consumer may look like the following: A potential customer sees an advertisement for a trouser on their smartphone traveling home from work. At home, they use their desktop to Google the brand. Once on site, they decide to buy a pair but select in-store pick up to try them on first. As soon as the buyer arrives in store, a clerk picks up the trouser and sets up a dressing room with a few shirts to match. The customer likes the trouser and two of the shirts. Unfortunately, their shirt sizes are out of stock. However, instead of losing the additional sale, the clerk places an order online for the right sized shirts to be delivered to the customer's home. The shirts arrive within a day, and the buyer is delighted.
