Salesforce, the global leader in CRM, announced that The RealReal, Inc a leading online marketplace for resale luxury goods has optimized and streamlined the overall consignor and shopper journey with Salesforce, creating a fully-personalized, intuitive digital selling and shopping experience.

Salesforce’s technology is also behind its new RealService model, which The RealReal announced yesterday. RealService uses Sales Cloud and Marketing Cloud to ensure all of its customer experiences are hyper-personalized, approachable, and full of options for how they connect with the brand:
- Sales Cloud helps The RealReal use its data to tailor every customer interaction for both buyers and sellers. It offers The RealReal a full view of a buyer’s purchase history, as well as their bookmarked items to help better anticipate customer needs and personalize every experience. With Salesforce, The RealReal is now also able to create a 360-degree experience and meet the seller where they are by scheduling virtual appointments at home or in-person at any of its retail locations.
- Marketing Cloud allows The RealReal to use real-time data to build personalized customer journeys and enhance account engagement from one platform across channels, such as email and social media.
With Salesforce, The RealReal has been able to successfully streamline its digital operations and improve the overall selling and shopping experience for its customers.
“Since day one, The RealReal has been a trailblazer in creating a luxury experience for their growing community of buyers and sellers,” said Sarah Franklin, CMO, Salesforce. “Salesforce is empowering The RealReal with the data, automation, and AI needed to streamline internal processes while putting their customers at the heart of everything they do.”
