Shift: Trends in Retail 2010-20

We’re in the final stages of writing a major presentation on retail trends 2010-2020 and have identified 8 major, emerging trends in retail which we see carrying through the coming decade.
What’s impressed me as we’ve compiled the research is how many of these projected changes can actually work to the advantage of the independent retailer. This is a little counter-intuitive given that many of the trends over the last 20 years have worked more to the advantage of the mass and chain store formats. However, we believe going forward, that the independent’s direct personal connection to their customers and their store environment provides them with a real potential gain over their larger competitors.
We need to underscore the words potential gain because any such benefits will only come to those store owners who are truly prepared to act on the information. Sure the report will cover what’s coming and provide strategies and tactics to adapt and succeed but what it won’t provide is the sheer will to seize the opportunity. That’s where you come in and that’s the strength of the entrepreneurial spirit!
We’ll let you know as soon as the 2010-2020 presentation is ready and how to get your copy or presentation booking.
