DEICHMANN places great importance on offering its customers an attractive shopping experience in its stores. Especially when targeting the core audience of families with children, varied, attractively placed promotional product ranges are a key component of a positive customer experience. DEICHMANN is a family-oriented retailer and has now also defined pets as members of the family and incorporated them into this concept.

The connection between DEICHMANN, as the German and European market leader in footwear, and the pet supplies sector may not be immediately obvious, but it becomes clear upon analyzing customer data.

Result:

A customer-centric expansion of DEICHMANN’s promotional product lines to include attractive new product categories from the pet sector, which will pleasantly surprise DEICHMANN customers and be met with a very positive response.
