2014 was yet another remarkable year for the retail industry. \u00a0Big box players like Target and Walmart <\/a><\/strong>continued the frantic search for their now-elusive mojo. \u00a0A growing number of pure play online retailers like Birchbox <\/a><\/strong>continued their materialization in the physical world, opening permanent brick and mortar locations. \u00a0Amazon captured our imaginations with the idea of drone delivery while their competitor\u00a0Alibaba<\/a><\/strong> took off on Wall Street with the largest global IPO in history! It was a year of disruption, discovery and digitization.<\/p>\n

I have no doubt that 2015 will give us lots to write about and share but in the meantime, here’s a look back at our top 5 posts of 2014.<\/p>\n

Enjoy and Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
