Is bricks and mortarretail dead?
Friday, 28 September 12
We hear lots about the “death of retail”
“JCB retailer’s shares fall by a fifth (...) it blames performance on disappointing demand for Euro 2012 kits and wet weather.”
“WHS sees 3 per cent fall in like-for-like third-quarter sales.”
“Mothercare- Strong performance outside UK helps offset cost of store closures but baby clothing retailer warns domestic market ‘remains tough.”

RELATIONSHIPS
SOCIAL BUYING
F2F
Brands have stolen the early march on developing relationships with consumers on the products and advocacy.
Its all about sharing, socialising, liking and making it easy to buy when you want to.
In-store is all about the experience, but it’s limited.
Friday, 28 September 12
Online retailers are becoming the norm
15
Online retailers have revolutionised what “good” customer service means, raising the bar.
When you want it, where you want it and social.
Organising for social means that traditional roles and responsibilities don’t need to exist or are carried out by customers.
