</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fragrance is one of the most popular product categories in global e-commerce, but it can also be more complex to ship than many other items. Many perfumes contain alcohol, which means they are classified as flammable liquids and subject to dangerous goods regulations. Because of this, retailers must carefully manage packaging, labeling, documentation, and destination requirements when shipping fragrances internationally.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For many U.S. e-commerce brands, Canada is often one of the first international markets they expand into. While cross-border shipping between the United States and Canada is common, fragrance products can introduce additional regulatory and shipping considerations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For e-commerce brands expanding into new markets, following a clear process can help reduce delays and ensure shipments reach customers safely. With the right preparation and the support of experienced logistics partners, brands can confidently ship fragrance products to customers around the world. <a href="https://www.asendiausa.com/">Asendia USA</a>, together with its Canada trade compliance team, helps fragrance shippers navigate cross-border regulatory and compliance requirements.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Follow the steps below to help ensure your fragrance shipments reach their destination.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1.  Confirm the Product Classification</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first step is confirming how the fragrance is classified. Many perfumes contain a high percentage of alcohol, which can place them under flammable liquid classifications. This affects how the product must be packaged, labeled, and transported.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fragrances are commonly classified as UN1266 – Perfume Products under Hazard Class 3 (Flammable Liquids). A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is typically required to confirm the correct hazard classification, flash point, and handling requirements.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Misclassifying fragrance as a standard cosmetic product can lead to rejected shipments or compliance issues. Reviewing product ingredients and applicable regulations early in the process helps prevent these problems.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2.  Choose the Right Shipping Method</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once the classification is confirmed, retailers must determine which shipping services can support fragrance products. Some transportation methods restrict flammable liquids, and regulations may vary depending on the destination country.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dangerous goods restrictions can limit available transport options, particularly for air shipments. Some services or transportation modes may not allow flammable liquids, while others may require specific handling procedures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In many cases, shippers must also complete dangerous goods training certification (such as IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations for air shipments) and receive carrier approval before shipping fragrance products classified as hazardous materials.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Selecting a shipping method that complies with both dangerous goods regulations and destination country requirements is essential to prevent shipment refusals or transit disruptions.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3.  Use Secure Packaging</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perfume bottles are usually made of glass and contain liquid, which makes them more vulnerable during transit. Without proper protection, bottles can break or leak.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To meet dangerous goods regulations, many fragrance shipments require pre-approvedpackaging designed to safely contain flammable liquids. This packaging typically includes:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Secure inner containers</li>



<li>Protective cushioning materials</li>



<li>Secondary containment to prevent leakage</li>



<li>Durable outer packaging</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dangerous goods shipments often require UN-certified packaging that has been tested for transporting flammable liquids and includes absorbent material and leak-proof inner containers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Proper packaging helps protect the product, reduces the risk of spills, and ensures compliance with shipping regulations.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4.  Prepare Accurate Documentation</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">International shipments require clear and accurate documentation to move smoothly through customs. Fragrance shipments often require detailed product descriptions and proper classification codes in addition to standard customs paperwork. Depending on the product classification and destination, documentation may include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Dangerous goods declarations</li>



<li>Accurate HS codes for fragrance products</li>



<li>Detailed product descriptions</li>



<li>Customs documentation required by the destination country</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For air shipments, shippers may also need to complete a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods outlining the UN number, hazard class, quantity, and packaging instructions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Errors or missing information can lead to delays or shipment holds, so careful documentation is essential.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5.  Understand Duties and Taxes</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Import duties and taxes may apply depending on the destination market and product classification. These charges can affect the final cost of the order once it reaches the customer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Understanding potential fees ahead of time helps retailers provide more transparent pricing and avoid unexpected charges during delivery.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Considerations When Shipping Fragrance to Canada</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Canada is an important cross-border market for many United States retailers. However, fragrance shipments entering Canada must comply with Canadian import regulations and may require specific packaging and documentation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Retailers should also consider duties and taxes that may apply to fragrance products entering the Canadian market. In some cases, postal networks may limit shipments containing flammable liquids, which can affect delivery options.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Preparing shipments carefully and understanding Canadian requirements in advance can help ensure smoother cross border deliveries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Asendia USA operates a dedicated trade compliance organization supporting Canada-bound shipments, helping ensure shipments meet regulatory requirements before entering the Canadian market.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Logistics providers such as <a href="https://www.asendiausa.com/">Asendia USA</a> support e-commerce retailers with global delivery networks and cross-border shipping expertise.rce retailers with global delivery networks and cross-border shipping expertise.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">GrubMarket, the AI-powered technology enabler and digital transformer of the American food supply chain industry, as well as one of the largest private food eCommerce companies globally, today announced it has completed the acquisition of&nbsp;Nogales, AZ-based Delta Fresh Produce, a leading distributor specializing in tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, grapes, watermelons, and various other fresh produce commodities sourced from&nbsp;Mexico.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Delta Fresh&nbsp;manages an extensive farming and distribution network across&nbsp;Mexico, including over 900 acres of open-field production, 1,400 acres of indoor production, and state-of-the-art packing facilities across&nbsp;Baja,&nbsp;Sonora,&nbsp;Sinaloa, and&nbsp;Central Mexico. Strong, longstanding grower relationships allow&nbsp;Delta Fresh&nbsp;to access thousands of additional acres of production throughout&nbsp;Mexico, enabling the company to supply customers year-round. The company&#8217;s extensive customer base includes prominent grocery retailers such as Walmart and Kroger; national restaurant chains including Subway, Jack in the Box, In-N-Out Burger, and Chipotle; as well as national distributors such as Sysco and AWG.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Established in 1928, Delta Fresh Produce is a multi-generational business success story. Today,&nbsp;Atanasio Panousopoulos&nbsp;leads&nbsp;Delta Fresh, after taking over from his father, a produce industry pioneer in both the U.S. and&nbsp;Mexico. In his 30 years of experience with the business, Atanasio has grown&nbsp;Delta Fresh&#8217;s&nbsp;expansive U.S. operations to include a sprawling 156,000 square foot warehouse in&nbsp;Nogales, AZ; an 80,000 square foot facility in&nbsp;McAllen, TX; and a 30,000 square foot space in&nbsp;San Diego, CA, while continuing to strengthen the company&#8217;s grower relationships, some of which have spanned decades of partnership.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore,&nbsp;Delta Fresh&nbsp;is highly regarded for its proactive approach to food safety. The company maintains Primus GFS certification and has been an industry leader in establishing rigorous standards for safety practices that go beyond regulatory requirements, including frequent random audits of both its growing operations as well as distribution facilities. After the acquisition, the business will continue to be managed by its current experienced, mission-driven leadership team led by Atanasio.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Atanasio Panousopoulos&nbsp;comments: &#8220;Joining GrubMarket marks an exciting new chapter for Delta Fresh Produce. We are proud of our deep-rooted heritage and the operational excellence we&#8217;ve achieved through the generations. GrubMarket&#8217;s commitment to AI technology and innovation aligns perfectly with our vision to further elevate our capabilities through integrating technology into our operations at scale, strengthening our customer relationships, and driving future growth. We look forward to the incredible opportunities that lie ahead of us, as part of the GrubMarket family.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mike Xu, CEO of GrubMarket, said: &#8220;We are thrilled to welcome Delta Fresh Produce to the GrubMarket family.&nbsp;Delta Fresh&#8217;s&nbsp;longstanding legacy in the produce industry in both the U.S. and&nbsp;Mexico, extensive grower and distribution networks, and exceptional reputation for food safety make them an ideal partner for GrubMarket as we continue to expand our strategic presence across&nbsp;North America. This acquisition significantly enhances our capabilities to serve customers nationally with high-quality, reliable produce year-round.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As part of GrubMarket&#8217;s portfolio,&nbsp;Delta Fresh&nbsp;will have access to GrubMarket&#8217;s proprietary, AI-powered software solutions, including; WholesaleWare, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) ERP platform that provides food industry wholesalers, distributors, and shippers with seamless financial management, powerful sales support, online ordering, precise inventory management, lot traceability, grower accounting, and automated routing and logistics; GrubAssist, GrubMarket&#8217;s groundbreaking suite of agentic enterprise AI assistants that empower food supply chain businesses with deep insights, intelligent analysis, and automated order processing; Orders IO, GrubMarket&#8217;s custom-branded, mobile eCommerce solution; and GrubPay, the company&#8217;s digital payments platform specifically designed for the needs of the food supply chain industry.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">eCommerce has increased since the Covid-19 pandemic. But what do online shoppers desire beyond convenience? For many companies, particularly those in retail, there is pressure to migrate into eCommerce. While migrating may be easily done, it&#8217;s important to think about what you can do to make your online shopping experience more than just convenient for your customers. So, <a href="https://www.advp.com/blog/tips-for-marketing-your-brand-online/">what do online shoppers desire when they shop online?</a></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-ease-and-convenience-of-online-shopping"><a></a>The Ease and Convenience of Online Shopping</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Online shopping lets you pick up your device and press several buttons on the screen to find what you want. Whatever you desire magically appears at your door a couple of hours or days later. Perfect! At any time or day during the week, you don&#8217;t need to go out or physically carry the items. Just a few clicks and you&#8217;re done.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By contrast, traditional shopping can be frustrating when you can only shop at certain times the store decides to open. Also, there&#8217;s no guarantee they&#8217;ll have what you want when you visit the store. Plus, think about the time and effort it can take. The time to go to and from the shop, search the shelves, talk to an employee when you need assistance, and get in line to make a purchase. Overall, online shoppers enjoy the ease and convenience of eCommerce, and it is often the primary reason they shop at their favorite stores online.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-accessibility-to-a-range-of-online-goods"><a></a>Accessibility to a Range of Online Goods</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But what keeps online shoppers coming back to their favorite online stores? The best eCommerce stores can beat traditional retail by offering more goods than they do in their storefronts. There are often more choices in eCommerce stores, and it&#8217;s easier to find what you&#8217;re searching for. Physical stores also have limits on space. There are also time limits on the availability of products. When the items are sold in a shop, the shelf is empty until it&#8217;s physically replenished.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-ability-to-compare-and-pick-prices"><a></a>The Ability to Compare and Pick Prices</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shopping online allows customers to take their time comparing prices among different retailers. Plus, when it&#8217;s online, you can compare and contrast instantly rather than visiting different stores in person.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To attract online shoppers, it can be helpful to offer discounts and special promotions for your online store. This can make shopping in your online marketplace even more appealing and convenient. Sometimes, customers will already be willing to pay more for online delivery and convenience, so offering special discounts and promotions can be that extra cherry on top.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-online-shoppers-want-access-to-every-benefit-of-ecommerce"><a></a>Online Shoppers Want Access to Every Benefit of eCommerce</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As an online business owner, it&#8217;s important to consider how you can appeal to your customers. As online shopping increases in popularity, it&#8217;s only natural to appeal to your online shoppers. Ask yourself how your online store can deliver a service or product to make the shopper&#8217;s life easier. <a href="https://www.advp.com/blog/tips-for-setting-up-an-e-commerce-store/">Do you have an efficient order delivery system?</a> Do you also provide extra services to promote customer loyalty, such as CRM programs or subscriptions? Analyze the range of products you provide online. How do you prioritize those products so it&#8217;s convenient and easy for customers to seek what they want?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, think about your price approach. How do promotions and price discounting suit your store? You must ensure your overall product and service packages match your price point.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Adventure Web Interactive, we collaborate with Maryland eCommerce businesses to develop <a href="https://www.advp.com/solutions/ecommerce/">eCommerce solutions</a> for them. We have seen how an optimized online store with fast loading speeds and an easy user interface encourages online shopping, customer loyalty, and satisfaction. When you can build an easy-to-use online store with the convenience, product range, and clarity customers desire, you can appeal to the expansive online shopper base.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Premium men&#8217;s golf and lifestyle brand, TravisMathew announced today its full redesign and renovation of its flagship storefront location at Fashion Island in&nbsp;Newport Beach, California. The revamped store features a wider selection of the brand&#8217;s lifestyle, activewear, and outerwear apparel and footwear, including the recently announced TravisMathew Women&#8217;s collection.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">TravisMathew opened the Fashion Island location in 2014, marking the apparel brand&#8217;s first physical storefront but prides itself on being more than just an apparel store. The location boasts games including a custom TravisMathew branded shuffleboard and elevated glass ping pong table.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Fashion Island was our first retail location and since inception we have had such a strong presence with both the local community and visitors of their outdoor dining and shopping experience. The location truly matches our brand values that are premium and aspirational yet approachable and fun,&#8221; said&nbsp;Ryan Ellis, CEO of TravisMathew. &#8220;Our goal with redesigning this location is to provide our customers with a reimagined, elevated shopping experience and a dedicated space to our new women&#8217;s line. In addition to new product offerings, we have created an entertainment space for all.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On&nbsp;Saturday, June 25&nbsp;from&nbsp;10 a.m. to 2 p.m., quarterback and TravisMathew Ambassador,&nbsp;Matt Ryan&nbsp;will be stopping by the store to mingle with media and customers as they get their first look at the redesigned and renovated storefront. Ryan has been a fan of the brand since day-one and officially became an ambassador in 2021, a natural fit for the avid golfer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">TravisMathew invites the community to join them in celebrating the expansion and renovation as well as its 15-year anniversary&nbsp;Friday, July 15&nbsp;–&nbsp;Sunday, July 17, where customers can enter a raffle for a chance to win&nbsp;$1,000&nbsp;worth of TravisMathew merchandise and enjoy discounts up to 50% off.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the opening of the Fashion Island storefront, the brand has launched 30 more domestic locations, including eight in its home-state of California stretching from Roseville to San Diego. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Inflation&#8221; is a word at the forefront of many conversations right now—for good reason. From gas stations to department stores, consumers are feeling the pressure of rising prices. Customers at Natural Grocers®, the nation&#8217;s largest family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer, can shop with confidence knowing they can still get high-quality organic and natural products at Always Affordable<sup>SM</sup>&nbsp;prices.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>ALWAYS AFFORDABLE PRICES: A FOUNDING PRINCIPLE</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Our parents founded Natural Grocers in 1955 with the belief that everyone should have access to affordable healthy natural and organic foods, nutrition education and live in a thriving, regenerative environment.&nbsp;This includes the food we all put on our tables.&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Always Affordable Pricing&#8217;</strong>&nbsp;is one of our Five Founding Principles to which we have stayed committed for over 67 years. We work hard to generate long term relationships with vendors and farmers to secure the best possible pricing on wholesome natural foods and supplements. These types of partnerships have historically helped us to maintain premium quality and offer accessibly priced nutritious foods and vitamins, even when families have been impacted by inflation,&#8221; said&nbsp;Heather Isely, Natural Grocers&#8217; Executive Vice President.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Company&#8217;s&nbsp;<strong>Commitment to Quality</strong>, another founding principle,&nbsp;is evidenced in its high product standards and continuous improvement of these standards. For example, Natural Grocers, which sold only cage-free eggs since its founding, enhanced its product standards in 2016 to sell only free-range eggs. Likewise, in 2014 the Company adopted advanced product standards designed to remove all confinement dairy products from its stores and sells only 100% pasture-based dairy products.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Natural Grocers makes every effort to base its product standards on relevant scientific evidence to best support the sustainability and health of the food system, the environment, Crew members, and its communities, and is committed to continuing to drive higher product standards within the industry. The Company prides itself on its transparent approach to product selection and encourages dialogue with customers, investors and industry peers. &#8220;Going into our 67<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;year, we hope to inspire other companies around the world to follow our lead and to realize that it<em>&nbsp;is possible</em>&nbsp;to offer high-quality organic and natural products at &#8216;always affordable prices&#8217;,&#8221; said Ms. Isely.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>IN-STORE SAVINGS FOR &#8220;FOOD-AT-HOME&#8221;</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here are some practical, consistent ways customers can save at Natural Grocers:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li>Shop Natural Grocers Brand Products: Natural Grocers has its own house brand, which also happens to be the family legacy. From the bulk line (refrigerated for freshness and prepackaged for sanitation purposes) to grocery and household staples, to vitamins and supplements, the house brand of about 1,000 items provides customers with nourishing options that families can afford. Products from this line represent affordability AND premium quality customers can trust.</li><li>Become an {N}power® member: customers can sign-up for {N}power, its free customer-loyalty program, to get exclusive discounts, newsletters, members-only features and more.<sup>[i]</sup> </li><li>Natural Grocers good4u® Meal Deals: each month, {N}power members enjoy discounted prices and fabulous recipes to help customers prepare healthy meals for their family of four or more with a price tag that averages around $14!</li><li>Natural Grocers Nutrition Center: Known as America&#8217;s Nutrition Education Experts<sup>SM</sup>, Natural Grocers offers FREE nutritional health coaching, in-store nutrition classes and recipe demos.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">China&#8217;s leading local on-demand delivery and retail platform, Dada Group (Nasdaq: DADA) launched in July 2021 an open platform dedicated to making autonomous delivery services smoother and smarter. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the middle of the 7<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;415 Intra-City Shopping Festival, the open platform will have a lot to deliver – not only packages, but also a better fulfillment experience, for the massive shopping spree.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>First show during &#8220;415 Intra-City Shopping Festival&#8221;</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The autonomous delivery operation open platform will definitely play a vital role during this year&#8217;s &#8220;415 Intra-City Shopping Festival&#8221;, an on-demand O2O shopping spree that is happening till&nbsp;April 17, the event was initiated by Dada&#8217;s on-demand retail arm, JDDJ, 7 years ago.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The event will be reaching its largest-ever scale with over 150,000 offline stores across over 1,700 cities and counties engaged, to provide consumers in&nbsp;China&nbsp;with products across all categories, deliverable within one hour.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Coming along with the scale is the large number of orders, that pose challenges to deliverers&#8217; fulfillment capacity.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/H41jiwwg-qU/hqdefault.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The autonomous delivery operation open platform proposes a smarter solution that helps lower costs, and improves efficiency for delivery partners, thanks to its three key functionalities, which are smart dispatching system of unmanned vehicles, human-vehicle interaction system, and smart order management system. In addition to providing massive delivery orders, the platform also enables its partners with digitized operation tools, and a secure delivery experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For instance, the platform has now realized automation in order distribution for supermarkets, and can manage pick-ups, terminal connections, and abnormal order processing through its human-vehicle interaction system, to empower connected unmanned vehicles in fulfilling online orders in an efficient way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A platform that empowers and creates value for all parties involved</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The on-demand delivery industry is becoming more open and collaborative as an ecosystem. Technology is playing a core role in optimizing operational efficiency of all parties involved.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Positioned to be the establisher of the unmanned delivery ecosystem, Dada aims to link its upstream and downstream partners, and scale up the R&amp;D of the software and infrastructure for autonomous delivery services as part of its latest efforts to empower retailing with smarter delivery solutions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bearing Dada&#8217;s vision of building up an ecosystem that is creating sustainable value for all parties, the autonomous delivery open platform is an example of how Dada is leveraging technology to innovate the on-demand delivery.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Data also show strong potentials and a promising future of the platform – according to the company&#8217;s Q4 results, orders fulfilled by Dada Now for SME merchants in Q4 increased by 100% year-over-year. Furthermore, since the open platform&#8217;s official launch in&nbsp;July 2021, it has delivered over 30,000 orders for supermarket partners, meanwhile, its delivery fulfillment rates remained stable at over 95% even during heavy promotional periods and bad weather, disclosed the company on its Q4 earnings call.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An example worthy of note is the open platform&#8217;s mobilization amid the current epidemic resurgence, where citizens&#8217; booming online orders of daily necessities have posed a challenge to deliverers&#8217; capacity. To address the issues, Dada has deployed its autonomous delivery operation open platform to ensure citizens&#8217; daily supplies. On the roads, in the markets in cities and provinces such as Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and Hefei, unmanned delivery vehicles that are connected to Dada&#8217;s autonomous delivery operation open platform are seen delivering the much-needed groceries and medications from big-name chain store partners such as SEVEN FRESH, Yonghui, to delivery spots in communities nearby before staff pick up the packages at the spots – ensuring a thoroughly contactless store-to-home process.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Ultimate Loyalty Experience<sup>SM </sup>is here, and guests of The Fresh Market can join the company&#8217;s first rewards program to &#8220;Sign up &amp; Save&#8221;, receiving exclusive savings on high quality products, rewards and a free slice of birthday cake during their birthday month—just to name a few of the member benefits! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Available in all 159 stores and on the company website, The Ultimate Loyalty Experience boasts many features including automatically loaded and clippable curated member-only Loyalty offers, digital coupons and &#8220;The Club Hub&#8221; purchase frequency programs, which allow guests to earn free items or dollars off favorite items. Currently launching with five Clubs: Market Meal Kit Club, Artisan Cheese Club, Whole Panini Club, Floral Club and Coffee by the Cup Club, loyalty members will have the opportunity to help pick the next club—the most in demand request may become the next purchase frequency club making this the customized loyalty program that guests have been asking for.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Fresh Market researched the best loyalty and ecommerce programs and platforms globally to identify the features, functionalities, technologies, value propositions and use cases that made them great. &#8220;We took all the best of the best elements from our key learnings and applied them to our brand, our guests and our business model to create the Ultimate Loyalty Experience,&#8221; said&nbsp;Kevin Miller, Chief Marketing Officer at The Fresh Market. &#8220;We know that our brand, our products and our guests are special and unique, so we are thrilled that our Ultimate Loyalty Experience has been custom built from the ground up to provide a strong value exchange for our guests that will help us serve them even better —and we have a few surprises for them in the upcoming months too!&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition to the Club Hub frequency programs, which range across all store locations, the company has localized offers too. For example, a Wine Club in&nbsp;Florida&nbsp;stores and a &#8220;Little Big Meal&#8221; Club in&nbsp;Boca Raton, Florida. The ability to customize and create frequency programs to meet guests&#8217; needs down to the store level is another unique member benefit.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">NewStore, a modular, mobile-first omnichannel cloud platform for retail brands worldwide, today announced GANNI is using the NewStore Omnichannel Platform to power the shopping experience across its stores. By leveraging mobile point-of-sale (mPOS), order management, store fulfillment, and clienteling, the brand&#8217;s stores can now cater to its community of customers, offering global omnichannel capabilities at the hands of iPhone-enabled store associates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">GANNI, the beloved Danish fashion brand founded in 2009, is rooted in its Scandi 2.0 sense of style. It sells apparel and accessories in more than 600 luxury retail stores, including 24 of its own concept stores located across&nbsp;the United States&nbsp;and&nbsp;Europe. Through the NewStore platform, GANNI can more easily handle sales and returns as well as manage inventory more responsibly through two fast, easy-to-use iPhone apps. Associates can also collect valuable customer information from the palm of their hands, which has resulted in a 900% increase in its average customer data capture rate at the POS.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;With NewStore, GANNI now offers a truly global, modern shopping experience,&#8221; said&nbsp;Anders Lindberg Madsen, Product Owner, Unified Commerce Platform, GANNI. &#8220;The platform is not only the lightest tech stack I&#8217;ve ever seen for retail, but also the most powerful. If we want to spin up a new store, we can do it with just a box of iPhones. It&#8217;s practically unheard of.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With its enterprise order management system, NewStore gives GANNI employees access to customer, order, and store inventory information all in a single view. The data is unified into one source and accessible via mobile, making global omnichannel operations like store fulfillment possible. On the front-end, mPOS enables associates to process in-store and endless aisle transactions anywhere on the store floor. They can also see clienteling data, including a customer&#8217;s past purchase history across channels and countries, enabling them to offer a better overall shopping experience. Associates are also able to fulfill endless aisle and buy-online-pickup-in-store (BOPIS) orders using only an iPhone. All of these capabilities are powered by NewStore&#8217;s pre-built integration with Salesforce Commerce Cloud.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;NewStore now has customers operating in more than 55 countries. Brands such as GANNI leverage NewStore to ensure seamless omnichannel wherever they operate globally,&#8221; said&nbsp;Stephan Schambach, Founder and CEO, NewStore. &#8220;By replacing its existing tech stack with our platform, GANNI&#8217;s store associates have real-time customer, order, and inventory data at their fingertips, enabling them to create amazing shopping experiences everywhere.&#8221;</p>
