90% of SME and Niche Retail Brands Are Missing Out - Big Time
Beyond product development, the success of a product is often determined by how it is marketed towards its target audience. Over the past few years, VK Transformation (VKT) has worked with numerous SME clients who experienced weak business performance despite their strong unique selling propositions, because of a lack of sales and marketing expertise, as well as an inability to properly utilise customer data.
​
With the advent of the digital age and the rise of e-commerce with Covid-19, the use of data science, and in particular, artificial intelligence (AI), as a tool in marketing, has become imperative to differentiate from the increasing competition. This is especially so for businesses who have successfully built and grown a sizable presence but have hit a growth ceiling, finding it difficult to take their business further with a wealth of customer data that remain untapped. According to an Adobe report, only 12% of smaller organizations are using AI for marketing.
The Data Science, AI & Machine Learning technology and how it can help businesses
While we are working with SMEs throughout the different stages of their business lifecycle (as shown in this diagram), it is important to recognize that the use of data science, AI and machine learning can help businesses accelerate sales performance.

Far East Flora’s Transformation with Alavi x VKT
Due to increased competition and broader targeting, in an attempt to grow its customer base, the team at FarEastFlora.com was not getting the expected ROI from their marketing investments which led to their decision to engage VKT.
​
We collaborated with Alavi, who utilised their AI engine to identify products to market and audiences to target, which the company then used to boost revenues without sacrificing its bottom line. In just 3 weeks, FEF Singapore managed to accelerate their growth profitability, with RoAS increasing by 21.75%, while AOV shot up by 20.33%. Today, the team at FEF continues to enjoy an extended partnership with VKT and Alavi.
