Clienteling Strategy & Personal Shopping Programme Development

I design and implement clienteling strategies and personal shopping programmes that help luxury brands identify, engage and retain their highest-value clients through exceptional relationship-led service.

Whether you're launching a personal shopping programme or strengthening an existing VIP service, I help luxury brands build meaningful relationships with high-value clients while delivering measurable commercial results.

VIP Clienteling Strategy for Luxury Brands

Every luxury brand approaches clienteling differently. My role is to help you design the strategy, structures and ways of working that enable your team to build stronger relationships with your highest-value clients and deliver a more consistent luxury experience.

Every engagement is tailored to your brand’s structure, resources and growth ambitions. This can include:

  • Identifying and segmenting VIP clients

  • Designing personal shopping and clienteling programmes

  • Developing tailored outreach and follow-up strategies

  • Creating appointment and client journey processes

  • Building reporting and KPIs to measure success

  • Supporting leaders to build, train and embed the right clienteling model across the business

What A Developed Clienteling Strategy Delivers

When luxury brands invest in relationship-driven service, the commercial impact can be significant.

Brands typically see:

  • Increased purchase frequency among VIP clients

  • Higher average order value and improved full-price sales mix

  • Stronger retention among top clients

  • Greater team confidence serving high-value clients

A well-designed clienteling strategy for luxury retail turns relationships with top clients into one of the most powerful drivers of long-term revenue growth.

A Tailored Approach

Every luxury brand is at a different stage. Some are launching a new personal shopping programme, while others are refining an established clienteling strategy. Every engagement is tailored to your objectives, but typically follows this approach:

Discovery

We start by understanding your business, commercial objectives and current approach to clienteling. Together, we'll identify opportunities to strengthen the experience for your highest-value clients and prioritise where to focus first.

Strategy Development

Working collaboratively with leadership teams, I design a clienteling strategy and personal shopping framework tailored to your business.

Streamlined Implementation

I work alongside senior leadership and customer-facing teams to implement new ways of working, ensuring the strategy is embedded consistently across the business.

Long Term Sustainability

As your business evolves, I provide ongoing strategic support to refine the approach, solve new challenges and ensure your clienteling strategy continues to deliver commercial results.

About Pippa

I began my career on the shop floor as a top seller before moving into leadership roles at Liberty London, Mulberry, NET-A-PORTER and MATCHES, where I spent over a decade building and leading personal shopping teams.

As Head of Personal Shopping for the international region at NET-A-PORTER, I led a team of more than 40 stylists across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, developing clienteling strategies that supported over £40M in annual revenue.

Today I work with both global luxury retailers and independent boutiques to design clienteling strategies and personal shopping programmes that strengthen relationships with high-value clients while supporting sustainable revenue growth.

My work combines strategic clienteling expertise with a deep understanding of the retail teams responsible for delivering exceptional client experiences every day.
