Is there still space for physical retail?
YES!
Points of Engagement
▪ The power shifted again, now the customer is in charge
▪ Retail now needs to change from transactional environments to attractional environments
▪ Retailers have to add more experience and expertise to create a difference
▪ Retailers must not only compete with offline competition but also compete with online
