Market analysis, rising trends, case studies and consumer insights are combined to help you mitigate risks and seize opportunities for retail success in the years ahead. The report includes:
: Hindsight
An examination of the context that has led to an unprecedented number of store closures in recent years. Lack of purpose and a fear of new technologies have driven a renewed push to consider not only when and where to open stores, but what the stores should do.
: Insight
Bricks-and-mortar stores still serve a purpose, but in order to adapt, retailers will have to combine the best technologies from e-commerce with the tactile, present quality of in-store browsing. Here, you’ll find the key trends that are revolutionising physical retail.
: Foresight
As retailers embrace future stores that are not weighed down by technology, but supported by it, new spaces will adapt to better meet customers’ needs. We gaze into the far future to imagine how the future store might change.
: Lab Notes
The report includes practical strategies to harness the intelligence within your organisation, from redefining the metrics of a store’s success to using data and technology as a means to cater for the different moods of consumers.
