In a world that increasingly relies on remote workers, more businesses are searching for the ability to consult with experts located remotely. This ability decreases staffing costs for retailers, and improves the overall shopping experience of customers. On this week’s episode of Tech Tuesday, our Tech Expert Brian will demonstrate how at the Cisco Store, we can use our Webex by Cisco board to consult and collaborate with “My Stylist” on shopping decisions.

"OK Webex, call My Stylist"

Throughout the episode, Brian will demonstrate how a shopper that is unsure of their shopping choices can consult with our stylist, located remotely in her design studio. All Brian needs to do is approach the Webex board with the voice command, “OK Webex, call My Stylist.” Within a few short seconds, he’s conveniently connected with the stylist that can walk him through different clothing options to help him make his shopping decisions. For this particular episode, the stylist will help Brian dress to impress for an executive tour, elevating his casual look to a more professional but comfortable outfit.

This Webex board "My Stylist" solution at the Cisco Store can help us create an easy to use, touch based, high quality collaboration experience.

Data analytics are at the core of good business decision making. At the Cisco Store, we use DOMO to help us visualize and analyze trends and patterns in our data to better understand our business. On this week’s episode of Tech Tuesday, our Tech Expert Brian Domine will show off some of the DOMO visualizations we have displayed in the store, and how we use them to learn more about our online sales.

With DOMO, we have the ability to seamlessly connect our data sources through pre-built data connectors. On this week’s episode, Brian will be showing off the visualizations that were created through the DOMO Magento2 connector. The output datasets from this connector are updated in real time, on our own, personalized schedule. On this episode, Brian is only showing off our online sales analysis. However, when we do return to the office, we will be able to overlay our online sales data with in store sales, connecting the various datasets in the backend of the tool.

Watch the video now!

When creating DOMO visualizations, we can easily choose a previous or current period of time, or compare period over period. Brian will walk the audience through a variety of visualizations that we have filtered for the current period of time. He’ll show off our visualization of daily online sales, broken down by geographic store. We use this card to understand how our different online stores are performing compared to each other, as well as sales trends over the current month. We can also take a look at a year-to-date view of our online sales, to understand when there were spikes in orders or sales, and overlay that information with events like Cisco Live, the holiday season, new store openings, etc. to better understand sales trends.

With DOMO, we can also create cards that display our bestsellers across our different stores. This helps us understand what products our customers are most interested in for the current month, and allows us to better tailor our marketing efforts. Brian will show how the visualization helps us see that the Opti-Dri polo is currently our bestseller. Shop the look here. Additionally, he’ll show that our brand new collaboration with the Connected Asian Affinity Network has also risen in top sales this month. Shop that collaboration here, and give back to the CAAN Fighting AAPI Hate and Discrimination fund.

Today, we displayed our Magento2 ecommerce sales data visualizations through DOMO. At the Cisco Store, we also have the ability to connect our data to analyze marketing activities on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, email marketing through Klaviyo, and more. Learn more about the capabilities of DOMO here.

On the last episode of Tech Tuesday, we demonstrated an augmented reality view of Cisco Meraki at the Cisco Store. This week, we're taking it a step further: We're viewing Cisco Vision through an augmented reality lens, and demonstrating how we can control the real world, through an augmented one. Throughout this episode, our Tech Expert Brian will demonstrate how customers can use Cisco Store Xplorer to learn more about the Cisco Vision digital signage solution deployed in the store, and even change the screens in real time through the augmented reality application. 

Watch the video now!

Through the customizable hotspot, this time in bright blue, customers have the options of viewing the Welcome, Learn More, and Campaign Ads options. When Brian clicks on the "Welcome" option, the in-store signage will change to display a message just for him, personalized through the Xplorer app. He is welcomed to the store with a 10% off coupon code that he can scan to redeem at checkout. While interacting with the Cisco Vision hotspot, he'll also have the opportunity to learn more about the technology, which will bring him to a window with further information and product details on the Cisco Vision webpage. Finally, with the Campiagn Ads option, Brian will be able to see, in real time, the screens change to display the latest Cisco brand campiagn ads created by the Hatch, Cisco's in house creative agency. Within the Xplorer application, Brian can easily switch the screen between displays to engage with the content he most wants to see. Learn more about Cisco Vision digitial signage here.

At the Cisco Store Tech Lab, we are constantly exploring new ways to educate our audience about our Cisco + partner ecosystem. In this episode of Tech Tuesday, we're showcasing our latest method of showing off our technology, with the newly launched Cisco Store Xplorer app. Cisco Store Xplorer is an augmented reality application empowering every user to learn about and engage with Cisco and partner technology. Through the lens of a mobile device, hotspots reveal in store technology which can be further explored at the touch of a screen. Xplorer will be available in the app store upon return to office. On this episode, our Tech Expert Brian will demonstrate how our audience can use the Xplorer app to learn about our Meraki MV 12 cameras. 

Watch the video now!

Throughout the video, Brian will demonstrate how customers at the Cisco Store in San Jose can use their own mobile devices to uncover "hotspots" throughout the store that offer more information about selected technologies. Customers can read more about the technology at the "tell me" tab, or click on the "show me" tab to get an actual live feed of the Meraki camera. Additionally, customers can see related technology information, in this case, the MV32 Meraki cameras deployed throughout the store. We are able to fully customize these hotspots in our content manegement system to place the cards and hotspots throughout the store.
