The everywhere, anywhere store
The transformation of the retail sector has only just begun. We are still in the early days of a fundamental shift. You might think online has matured already – it hasn’t. It’s only just begun. Research shows that online might account for 53% of all sales in just ten years’ time. Richard Lim, the CEO of Retail Economics said, “Successful retailers have always had to reinvent themselves to stay relevant. However, the pace of change will inevitably prove too fast for many. It definitely feels like the digital retail revolution is only just getting started.”
The only way to keep pace – and get ahead of the curve – is to enable your customers anywhere and everywhere. If half of the purchases will be online, then the other half will still be made in physical stores. That’s an opportunity as well as threat. The point is to deploy the technologies needed to ensure that there are no barriers to the sale wherever the customer happens to be.
