Becomes Industry’s Largest Independent Personalization Player Globally
Technology advances are enabling retailers to introduce new levels of customisation, with companies introducing artificial intelligence (AI)-based hyper-personalisation experiences to tailor and follow consumer shopping trends.
This week in the UK, Amazon’s devoted team of observers will note its continuing dominance over everything from groceries to yoga mats; and, as it ties Morrisons into extending its same day delivery partnership.
The grocery giant is now wholly reliant on Amazon if it is to continue to compete on the delivery front. Morrisons will become a retailer on Amazon’s Prime Now website and app and continues as a wholesaler to Amazon’s other UK grocery customers as per the “Morrisons at Amazon” agreement three years ago.
The message is clear: Trying to beat Amazon at its own game is futile. Brands need to play differently to survive now that it has captured the minds and wallets, if not the hearts, of such a significant chunk of the market.

Research shows that brands and retailers believe artificial intelligence (AI) will give rise to significant opportunities across retail, creating more meaningful relationships with customers.
While almost 60% of businesses would trust fully automated AI-driven marketing campaigns to deliver meaningful content to their customers, only 45% of customers believe personalised adverts displayed to them are relevant, according to a study by international law firm CMS, in partnership with Retail Economics.
In a time of choice abundance, poorly targeted marketing is not enough to satisfy increasingly demanding shoppers. To earn their loyalty, brands and retailers need hyper-detailed alignment with their needs.
Ask any marketing professional, selling online is getting increasingly challenging. Today’s shopper is rich in options. However, between Amazon and Alibaba alone, shoppers are certain to find exactly what they need, provided they are willing to trawl through page after page of cut-price products. In a world dominated by e-commerce giants, smaller e-tailers are increasingly asking “How can I compete?”
