Helsinki Outlet, a renowned retail hub housing over 40 brand stores in “The Village,” is excited to unveil its collaborative venture with Wishibam and Coniq, aimed at enhancing customers’ experience. 

After 4 months’ work, the project was successfully launched. Today more than 50% of brands are selling online products available at the outlet.

The revamped program will introduce an advanced white-label app and a fresh website, leveraging Coniq’s customer engagement platform and Wishibam’s system to cater to Helsinki Outlet’s devoted customer base.

The introduction of a user-friendly app, featuring receipt-scanning capabilities, seeks to streamline user engagement and elevate customer satisfaction, fostering stronger connections with Helsinki shoppers. The choice to partner with Coniq stemmed from the pursuit of seamless customer communication, enabled by a unified customer interface and the ability to synchronize loyalty transactions with their communication platform. Coniq’s integration with Helsinki Outlet’s upcoming e-commerce platform, powered by Wishibam, adds another dimension to the collaboration, promising an efficient loyalty solution for Helsinki Outlet.

Wishibam’s pioneering platform bridges the online and physical retail realms, empowering outlet retailers to offer products in real-time while granting customers the convenience of outlet prices, product availability, and flexible delivery options like click & collect and home delivery. This disruptive model has already seen success with industry leaders such as Compagnie de Phalsbourg and VIA Outlets, significantly enhancing customer satisfaction and bolstering brand turnover.

Charlotte Journo-Baur, CEO of Wishibam, expressed pride in partnering with Coniq for the launch of Helsinki Outlet’s revamped ‘Friends’ program. “By harnessing Coniq’s single customer view, Wishibam aims to deliver an unparalleled experience that surpasses customer expectations. We are poised to set a new standard for omnichannel experiences, driving customer engagement and loyalty.”

Ben Chesser, CEO of Coniq, echoed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are honored to collaborate with Helsinki Outlet in revolutionizing their existing loyalty solution and look forward to helping them create memorable retail experiences for their shoppers.”

Coniq’s proficiency across mixed-use retail environments, encompassing marketing automation and data capture, ensures efficiency for both retailers and shoppers. Helsinki Outlet will gain valuable insights into member purchase data, enabling targeted communication and personalized customer experiences. Coniq’s technology will also play a pivotal role in monitoring membership volumes, tracking repeat shoppers, and understanding customer behaviors. Implementing Wishibam’s technology ensures a seamless omnichannel experience, with promises to increase customer acquisition and enhance satisfaction.

Jenny Hollmén, Head of Marketing at Helsinki Outlet, shared her anticipation, stating, “This strategic collaboration marks a significant milestone for Helsinki Outlet, ushering us into a new era of seamless integration and personalized customer experiences. We selected Wishibam and Coniq for their commitment to delivering innovative solutions that empower our Outlet Brand Partners to thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.”
