The Best Use of Customer Insight award recognises organisations that have successfully used customer insight in an innovative way to gain competitive advantage. Entrants are required to submit information relating to strategy which drove the customer insight as well as the expected outcomes and the actual results of this use of customer insight. Judges will look for a consistent approach to data collection together with evidence of new data analysis methods where appropriate. Edinburgh Woolen Mill utilises InMoment to collect, analyse, distill and socialise customer intelligence.

“We are delighted to be a finalist in this category,” said Lynn Candlish, retail operations co-ordinator at Edinburgh Woollen Mill. “Upon implementing our insights programme, we quickly realised that through improving our customer metrics we can get better business results. It has been a real cultural shift for us. The retail team has done a great job of embedding the programme alongside a new customer strategy and we are already seeing some real improvements in our operation on the shopfloor. We believe effective and consistent use of our customer insights will ensure we achieve our goal of putting our customer at the heart of everything we do.”
