HISTORY OF STOCKMANN
Stockmann is a department store, founded in 1862 by German merchant
Georg Franz Heinrich Stockmann. Stockmann have had an immensive effect
on Finnish history by moving Finland closer to modern Europe. Stockmann
is known of having the first escalators in Finland and as a host of the first
national television broadcast. Stockmann can also be considered as the
first actor that focused on the user experience and is still known of several
Stockmann-like factors like the elevator-girls.
RETAIL IN CHANGE
Many areas of retail and services are under big
reformation and new ways of paying and using
services are taken into use. Business is not any more
working only in traditional way when the customer
pay first by cash or card and then gets what he/she
paid for. More and more automatic and recurrent
transaction methods are used mostly on the internet/
application based services. When people get more
familiar with these new ways of paying the revolution
of retail will start. Usually people are willing to pay
constant fee of the things that they do several times
a week. Those are for example bus tickets (HSL), gym
membership (Esport), movies and series (Netflix),
computer programs (Adobe CC) and music (Spotify)
and many more. There are many areas where this new
transaction methods or continuous membership fees
are not taken into use yet. The possible services could
be related to eating, sports, working, commuting, and
other activities. One challenge would be to lower the
threshold of joining and creating the feeling that the
customer is not married with the service provider.
Especially younger generations are more eager to
have control of their lives and want to retain freedom

to select what services and products they buy. They are
also less brand loyal and that makes it more challenging
for traditional companies to get these people to buy.
All the products these days are shown and reviewed
on the web and even the prices are lowest on the web
stores. Therefore it doesnt make that much sense to
use a lot of valuable physical space to show the same
products live in the department stores. Question is how
to get people out from the web stores and to make
them buy your companys products and services and
be loyal to your brand? How to provide something that
the web stores can not provide? Answer is actually
pretty simple. By providing people with experiences
and activating them to use the products and services
as essential part of their life. Companies should let
people to use the products and services in real life
and let customers to make the decision of purchase
by themselves. The company that provides the best
experiences will be the winner in this game.
FUTURE OF STOCKMANN

mySTOCKMANN
When joining into My Stockmann, customer creates
an own profile with credit card details for automatic
and easy transactions. Transaction method could be
compared to the services like Spotify and Netflix.
Customer selects the services that he/she wants to
join in from the categories of e.g. Activities, Work and
Food. To improve the feeling of freedom and control
the customer can always modify his/her own selection
and by that way to control how much money will be
transferred automatically. Transaction happens weekly
instead of monthly to decrease the negative feeling of
engaging with the big corporation.
Experiences are in the essential role in My Stockmann
and and the co-operative brands are activated to take
bigger role in providing the services where they have
possibility to do marketing of their own products. This
requires Stockmann to make deeper collaboration
with the brands and create the new services together

with them. Constant evolution of the services is in
very important role when getting people to engage
with Stockmann. Its necessary to renew and improve
services all the time to get customer happily surprised
over and over again.
When joining in My Stockmanns services, customers
are introduced with many high quality and well
selected products that are closely related to the topic
of the service. When starting a Nike running school,
customer can buy new running shoes when he/she
needs them. Professional service providers from Nike
help the customer to select the right shoes and let
him/her to try shoes before making the final decision.
Since the running school is mostly about learning the
right technique and planning the training, the products
are not in the core of the running school.
