  • Consider this Part 1 of our Top 5 Customer Segments you can build in Endear! Starting with number one… 🥇 Local online-only shoppers 🥇 These customers are the ultimate low-hanging fruit for store teams because… ✨ They already shop with you ✨ They live near your store ✨ They just don't know your store exists (yet!) Sure, they probably get tons of marketing emails from you already, but sending them a quick and personal message from a local associate is basically guaranteed foot traffic and sales. It can be as simple as: "Hey [firstname], I'm [your firstname] from Acme Austin! I noticed you're a fan of the brand — did you know we have a store just 10 miles from you? I'd love to help you find your next favorite product and show you around the store. Let me know if you want to stop by!” Boost engagement, foot traffic, and in-store purchases — all with one segment. Stay tuned for our other 4 top segments… 👀

  • Choosing between in-store and online sales? Why not both? 🤔 Smart retailers are realizing the customer journey doesn’t fit in a neat little box anymore. In 2025, it looks more like: 👀 See an ad on Instagram 💻 Browse the website for inspiration 🏬 Visit the nearest store to shop 📱 Get recommendations via text from a store team member  🛍️ Complete the look with an online purchase And that's just one path! The combinations are limitless ♾️ That’s why omnichannel attribution is such an important part of Endear. Retail associates can clientele with confidence, knowing they’ll get credit no matter where the sale happens. Thanks Retail Brew for featuring Endear in this story!

    I said it once before, but I guess it bears repeating: 🪦 The in-store-only commission structure should be a relic of the past 🪦 Thank you so much Andrew Adam Newman for bringing to light the many opportunities and creative strategies that can emerge when brands embrace omnichannel commissions. Customers are constantly moving between between URL and #IRL, so why shouldn't your #retail salesforce? We're so thrilled to be part of the solution and so impressed with what Anna Esrov and the Boll & Branch has been able to accomplish with incentives. As Anna said, it's all about meeting the customer where they are and optimizing for a great experience. Your associates are already doing the hard work, it shouldn't matter that it took an extra 24 hours for the customer to finally pull the trigger from the comfort of their homes.

    In the early days of e-commerce, some legacy retailers were hesitant to launch e-commerce stores, fearing that online sales would “cannibalize” sales from their brick-and-mortar locations. These days, retail rhetoric is less likely to pit in-store against e-commerce, favoring instead the buzzword “omnichannel” (which appeared 13 times in the recent NRF Big Show program). Since many shoppers choose to shop online one day and in-store the next, omnichannel’s adherents urge retailers to make either choice seamless. Here’s one way Endear, a customer relationship management (CRM) firm, is flying the omnichannel flag: Encouraging retailers to direct in-store associates to reach out to e-commerce customers, and to pay those associates commission for resulting online sales. Thanks to Endear's Leigh Sevin for the tip and insights, and Boll & Branch's Anna Esrov.

    Thrilled to have our series A announced on Axios today! Jinesh Shah and I are so excited take on this new chapter with Jensen Bryant and Andrew Albert at Channel Equity Partners We've always been very measured about who we raise from and how much capital we take in but the opportunities that came to the surface in 2024 were too exciting for us to sit back and play it "slow and steady". We're so grateful to all our customers and champions for their feedback - our roadmap is heavily influenced by what the #retail leaders in our corner tell us they need. Thanks so much to Geronimo Chala, Geoff Schneiderman, Jason Griffin Reidel, Sophia Wood, Amelia Meadowcroft, Kaitlin Gottlieb and so many others for their constant influx of ideas and recommendations that continue to push us to think bigger about the problems we can solve for the industry. I hope the article will also inspire folks to want to join us as we push to give omnichannel brands the retail CRM their stores need to increase sales. You can find all the open roles we have available here: https://lnkd.in/gmJ6kWW4
