The cover of The Ultimate Guide to Omnichannel Retail for High-Consideration Brands: an associate showing a client a tablet in a furniture showroom

Twelve chapters, from the first visit to the second sale.

Most of it works whatever software you use, and some of it works with none. Where it helps, it shows how Stitchwork does each part.

  1. 01

    The considered purchase

    One customer, three weeks, five touchpoints — and two versions of the same Saturday.

  2. 02

    Where it slips away

    Six leaks between the website and the floor, and the incentive problem underneath them.

  3. 03

    What clienteling is — and isn't

    Selling from memory, and how it differs from a CRM, a loyalty scheme and marketing automation.

  4. 04

    The omnichannel clienteling stack

    Capture, identity, the record, action and proof: five layers of technology, each with a test.

  5. 05

    The strategy

    Six stages of a considered purchase, the move for each, and where the second sale comes from.

  6. 06

    The moments that matter

    Ten reasons to be in touch, when each one comes round, and whose list it lands on.

  7. 07

    Follow-through, and who gets the credit

    Why task lists fail, five rules that make follow-up stick, and a credit split people accept.

  8. 08

    Messages, consent and trust

    One person writing to one person, from the record, with permission you can show.

  9. 09

    AI in clienteling

    What an assistant is good for, and five rules for pointing AI at customer data.

  10. 10

    Optimise and measure

    Order-value ranking, holdout groups, attribution that counts the showroom, and ten numbers to watch.

  11. 11

    How Stitchwork puts it together

    The five layers in one product, and what your client sees on their phone.

  12. 12

    Your first 90 days

    From a notebook to a business that remembers, a month at a time.

+ The scorecard: fifteen questions to put to one real client's record, and what your score says to do next.

Chapter 11 shows how Stitchwork puts the five layers together. To see them on screen now, take the five-minute product tour: one week at a watch shop, in eighteen real screens.

For brands where people buy from people.

Founders, managing directors and heads of retail at brands with showrooms, studios or ateliers, where four things are true at once:

  • The order is worth a conversation — usually four figures or more.
  • The decision takes weeks, with research online and at least one visit in person.
  • People sell it: associates, designers, stylists, fitters, specialists.
  • There's a quote, a fitting or an appointment, not just a basket.

Watches & jewellery · Bridal · Furniture & interiors · Kitchens & bathrooms · Tailoring & made-to-measure · Musical instruments · Art & galleries

Nothing in the second version needed a better salesperson. It needed the business to remember.

Four questions, answered.

"Is it really free?"
Yes, and there's no form. Press Download and the PDF is yours: 24 pages, to keep and pass round your team.
"Is it a sales pitch for Stitchwork?"
Most of it works whatever software you use, and some of it works with none: the habits, the follow-up rules, the credit split and the scorecard are yours to use either way. Where it helps, it shows how Stitchwork does each part, and one chapter is about Stitchwork alone.
"We're a single showroom. Is it too big for us?"
No. It's written for a single showroom as much as a group, and the 90-day plan starts with a catalogue, last year's orders and a notebook's worth of habits. The scorecard tells you which chapter to start with.
"Can I see the software it describes?"
Yes. The five-minute product tour clicks through one week at a watch shop running on Stitchwork, in eighteen real screens, with no sign-up. When you'd like to see it with your own catalogue, book a demo: thirty minutes with the people who built it.
