SALT LAKE CITY [May 14, 2024]—Pearl-Plaza®, a leader in Experience Improvement solutions, is excited to announce its partnership with America’s Thrift Stores to implement a cutting-edge customer experience program aimed at delivering exceptional experiences to thrift store customers and donors.
America’s Thrift Stores operates a thrift store chain throughout the southeastern region operating in a highly competitive industry. With thrifting gaining popularity, the sale of second hand clothes is expected to exceed $77 billion by 2024,more than double the amount from four years ago.
With the increase in interest for thrift shopping, America’s Thrift Stores has implemented Pearl-Plaza’s XI Platform, incorporating post-purchase and post-donation surveys to supplement its traditional brand awareness studies with deeper insights directly from customer and donor feedback. The insights are instantly shared with employees through intuitive dashboards, enabling the identification of location-based experience themes for operational adjustments and improvement opportunities.
“This partnership is pivotal in helping us understand the shopper and donor experience across all of our store locations,” said Dominic Losacco, VP, Marketing and ATS On-Line, America’s Thrift Stores.“With a background in quick-serve restaurants, I understand the importance of service excellence. By leveraging consumer experience and personalized touch, our goal is to provide the best possible experience for both our thrift customers and donors.”
