We’re\u00a0in the final stages of writing a major\u00a0presentation<\/a> on retail trends 2010-2020<\/a> and have identified 8 major, emerging trends in retail which we see carrying through the coming decade.
\nWhat\u2019s impressed me as we’ve compiled the research is how many of these projected changes can actually work to the advantage of the independent<\/em> 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\u2019s direct personal connection to their customers and their store environment provides them with a real potential gain over their larger competitors.
\nWe 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\u2019s coming and provide strategies and tactics to adapt and succeed but what it won\u2019t provide is the sheer will to seize the opportunity. That\u2019s where you come in and that\u2019s the strength of the entrepreneurial spirit!
\nWe\u2019ll let you know as soon as the 2010-2020 presentation is\u00a0ready and how to get your copy or presentation booking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
