NaturaCompany overview
-
Omnichannel Vision
Natura is building an integrated ecosystem within its business network through an omnichannel marketing strategy. This strategy works with the implementation of relationship selling, retail, and E-commerce simultaneously.
In 2020, Natura’s omnichannel vision and the rapid deployment of new digital tools were pivotal in helping them navigate through the pandemic crisis. Their business model, powered by people and technology, delivers a personalized shopping experience to its customers anytime, anywhere, through multiple channels and touchpoints.
-
More Digital Relationship Selling
Natura has empowered the majority of its consultants in setting up their own digital stores. They have expanded their digital presence with 1.6 million of their consultants engaged in their digital platforms(website and mobile application). Digital applications streamline the routine tasks of consultants (inputting and consulting orders, issuing payment orders, among other options), allowing them to spend more quality time with customers directly or virtually.
-
Personalized Customer Experience With CRM Tools
With CRM tools, Natura consultants have access to key information about their customers' buying habits. This helps them to understand their customers better, implement activation measures, and provide personalized promotions.
-
Minha Divulgação for Virtual Channels
Natura has developed a new feature called Minha Divulgação to boost sales conversion across virtual channels. Consultants can utilize this feature to improve the brand experience by creating and publishing personalized content across Facebook and Whatsapp, using the image library provided by the service. 24% of the customers in Brazil used the service more than twice a month. Minha Divulgação will be accompanied later by multimedia content such as videos, produced by actual consultants.
-
Financial Inclusion of Consultants
Natura emphasizes financial inclusion among its consultants, and bankarisation. In Brazil, they have offered a 100% digital bank account to its consultants. This account can be opened and managed directly with the Natura website or the digital platform. The financial inclusion is aimed at increasing the productivity and income of consultants.
Natura has partnered with financial institutions to empower the initiative. The service also offers acquisition of portable card terminals so as to meet the growing demand among customers who prefer credit and debit cards to complete their purchases. Earnings made by consultants from the sales on their virtual stores are credited directly to their digital bank account, as is the balance from the face to face sales made using the card terminal. Funds in this account can be used to make purchases with Natura cards, pay bills, withdraw and transfer money.
As part of Natura’s digital and financial inclusion strategy, they have launched a proprietary and scalable financial services platform called &Co Pay. Consultants can also make use of other services such as debit and credit cards, loans, microcredit, and loyalty programs.
-
Training Sessions for Consultants
Natura understands the importance of training its consultants to maximize their growth and productivity. They have conducted more than 3.6 million virtual training sessions. Natura reformulated courses for beginners and became 100% virtual to ensure more focus on digital training.
In Mexico, Natura launched podcasts on Spotify to improve the engagement of consultants. These can be accessed by anyone who wishes to know more about the business model. With the episodes lasting 30 minutes on average, the podcasts are simple, humorous, and include talks about how the model works, how to build valuable relationships, the differentials of the Natura brand, and how to organize finances, among others.
-
Annual Meet-Ups
Natura organizes a series of engagement actions. This includes the Annual Encounter. The Annual Encounter brings together a large audience (co-workers, consultants, leaders and end consumers) to talk about their ambitions and their plans to achieve those. The occasion also recognizes the consultants for their achievements and continued support over the years.
-
The Natura Experience Centre
Natura aims at eliminating deviations and providing the best possible service for consultants by monitoring information related to logistics, product availability, and real-time monitoring of systems and technologies. This is the key function of the Natura Experience Centre. The team is reinforced with new members whose responsibility is to minimize the impact on consultants by monitoring and enhancing the key business processes, and reacting rapidly to new problems.
-
Nat, the Virtual Assistant
Natura has developed a virtual assistant called Nat. Nat was introduced through social media and now completely controls the official Natura account on Twitter. Nat provides agile responses to the doubts of the consumers, consultants, leaders, and business managers. Nat acts both as a virtual customer service assistant and a digital influencer, helping Natura to get closer to the youth audience and remain hyper-connected.
-
Social Selling
Natura uses social selling to build customer relationships. Their social selling platform has empowered its consultants to stay engaged in the business during the pandemic restrictions.
-
My Post - Interactive Brochure
Natura has developed My Post, an interactive brochure that can be shared across instant messaging and social media platforms. My post comes with a media library that helps to build customized content.
-
Powerful E-Commerce
Natura eagerly works on strengthening its e-commerce to meet the increasing demand in online purchases from home. Natura has developed partnerships with influential curators in the United States and has started selling its products through Amazon.
-
Concept Store
Natura has launched concept stores as a part of its brand’s program to transform its own stores by customizing them for an enhanced customer experience. Customers get more opportunities to test products, which can contribute to the brand’s multichannel sales. Visitors will be able to:
- Test Natura perfumed products with perfum.Ar digital solution
- Visit an Amazon community with virtual reality glasses
- Measure their skin’s hydration
- Analyze strands of their hair
- Personalize gifts in the Gift studio
-
Testing Fragrances Digitally
Natura is supplying its brick-and-mortar stores across Brazil with electronic devices that spread fragrances on demand. These devices are similar to digital tablets and act as alternatives to paper catalogs. Digital fragrances contribute to limiting the number of testers and samples across the stores, providing a hygienic alternative.
-
Okay Google, Talk to Natura
Natura is empowered by Google’s voice assistant as a tool for customers to make purchases. Customers just need to say ‘Okay Google, talk to Natura’ to search and purchase Natura products, with payment through a bank slip.
