Digital Marketing Researches & Reports

20th Annual POS Customer Engagement 2019 | Boston Retail Partners

Consumer Behavior | North America

Disruption and adaptation are changing the retail model and blurring the lines among retailers, brands, and wholesalers. Online pure-plays are opening brick-and-mortar stores and traditional retailers are experimenting with new store models and in some cases, expanded experiential brand strategies that include new revenue sources, such as services or food and beverage options. Retail is theatre and with technologies like augmented reality and virtual reality, the retail store is no longer the only stage where the theatre of retail can take place. As consumers “check-in” on retailers’ e-commerce and mobile sites, they automatically receive personalized offers and recommendations based on their purchase and browsing history. However, most shoppers are still anonymous when shopping in a physical store so they don’t get the same level of personalized service. This is an area of opportunity for retailers, new technologies will further empower customers as they can dictate their own personal stage and experience.
