Issues to consider in Retail in a new environment

Consumer has the power, just by

pressing a button

Retailers get more strategic when

negotiating – Why I need you?

Brands and retailers spread the word to

the web so customer knows more

Social media is top weapon to customer

knowledge

Consumer personal data is a must-have. Taste, habbits even

medical data.

Gen Y will not allow for mistakes and bad operation,

because they know

Complete change in retail landscape

Consumers get involved in product design and usage…

even R&D

Consumer experience is at the heart of the game, in all parts of value

chain

Retailers will not be just product sellers

but consumer entertainers as well
