Humankind’s innovative eCommerce clienteling solution will be combined with Tulip’s market-leading clienteling platform

Today, Tulip, the market leader in delivering integrated Clienteling and POS solutions to enterprise retailers and brands, announced the strategic acquisition of Humankind, a pioneering eCommerce clienteling solution provider.

Founded by seasoned eCommerce executive David Weissman, Humankind has established itself as an innovator in enhancing personalized eCommerce customer experiences. Weissman, a 25+ year veteran in the field, has held leadership roles with retail technology leaders such as GSI Commerce and spearheaded direct-to-consumer eCommerce initiatives at retail brands including Target and BCBG.

“We are excited to join forces with Tulip,” said David Weissman, CEO of Humankind. “Tulip’s commitment to innovation and its vision for the future of omnichannel person-to-person clienteling align perfectly with our own. Together, we will be able to offer our customers a truly unified solution that will help them deliver exceptional customer experiences.”

With this acquisition, Tulip gains Humankind’s eCommerce clienteling product and its clients, including leading retailers and brands such as MM LaFleur and Dermstore. The combined company will deliver a cohesive platform that provides retailers with a single, integrated solution for managing person-to-person customer engagement across all channels, including eCommerce.

“The acquisition of Humankind is a significant milestone for Tulip,” said Ian Rawlins, CEO of Tulip. “It broadens our addressable market by improving a retailer’s ability to support omnichannel customer shopping journeys, it fulfills our vision of enabling both highly personal 1-to-1 customer interactions and person-to-person customer engagement at scale through a unified platform, and most importantly, it enhances the overall value we can deliver to our clients, empowering them to provide unmatched shopping experiences.”

Tulip’s acquisition of Humankind will enable retailers to offer exceptional, personalized shopping experiences across increasingly complex omnichannel purchasing journeys. Historically, sophisticated clienteling solutions have been segmented by channel, catering separately to physical stores or eCommerce sites. And more traditional corporate marketing strategies have not leveraged person-to-person interactions. By integrating Humankind’s eCommerce clienteling platform, designed to manage customer relationships at scale, with Tulip’s sophisticated clienteling platform, Tulip will equip retailers to deliver tailored and differentiated shopping experiences that redefine omnichannel person-to-person customer engagement in retail.

A channel-by-channel analysis of how retailers use clienteling communications to drive the highest value from their customers.

Tulip, the leading provider of retail clienteling software solutions, has announced the release of the Tulip Clienteling Benchmark Report. This benchmark report analyzes the clienteling strategies of retailers with physical locations in more than 39 countries, ranging in size from boutique chains to multinational brands, providing the most comprehensive view of clienteling practices worldwide. 

The benchmark report examines the communication channels retailers utilize in their clienteling strategies for stores and store associates to communicate directly with their customers outside of the store in order to drive sales. It analyzes which channels drive higher conversion rates and sales values, along with how sales trends are influenced by clienteling strategies. 

The analysis presented in the report helps retail stakeholders gain an understanding of how specific communication channels impact brand affinity, loyalty, and sales conversion.

By looking at the global aggregate data, a few key clienteling trends emerge:

• Retailers are leveraging clienteling to engage customers and increase sales, with a 28% increase in communications per store in January 2024
• Email has declined as customers’ preferred communication channel
• Text and social media are growing as preferred communication channels
• Voice calls, direct mail, and social media generate higher conversion rates and sales values
• Clienteling communications have a 5-15% conversion rate, while corporate communications convert at 2-5%
• Sales influenced by clienteling have doubled as a portion of total sales YoY
• Sales influenced by clienteling have 136% higher AOV than average store sales

Overall, the analysis in this report concludes that clienteling communications results in higher conversion rates and higher value sales compared to average store sales.

“The findings from the Tulip Clienteling Benchmark Report are clear. Clienteling is a high-value lever that retailers can use to boost sales, increase average order values, personalize customer interactions and enhance customer loyalty, and those retailers who have not yet implemented robust clienteling tools to engage with their customers are missing out,” said Tulip CEO, Ian Rawlins. “Retail brands need to take a holistic and continuous approach to clienteling, because in this new retail era, it’s adapt or perish. It’s as simple as that.”
