In the last few years, our continuing research on the “state of the store” has shown us that retailers increasingly understand the need to make
the store more relevant. Customers are rapidly tilting the tables with their growing knowledge of products and needs – aided in large part by their
breakneck adoption of smart mobile technologies – and retailers recognize consumers’ patience is growing thin for a store experience that doesn’t meet
their needs: quickly.

technologies and services into stores; growing consumer confidence and demand (as well as the ever-lowering price point of intuitive new technologies)

in order to make the store more than just a showroom for online sales?
