From Retail to Wetail: the future of retail communication

Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

The retail landscape has changed dramatically over the last 10 years. New technologies have forced retailers to rethink their business models and the way they will engage with consumers and shoppers in the future. “I think that a lot of retailers are facing up to the fact that the world is omni-channel or multichannel. The point is that retailers have to realize that they need to engage with shoppers whenever and wherever those shoppers are thinking about purchasing.” says Bryan Roberts from Kantar Retail in the latest Brand Z report about the most valuable Retailer Brands in 2012. During that period of time we’ve seen a pure-play e-commerce retailer, Amazon, become the most valuable retailer brand in the world. The role of the physical store has changed – moving away from merchandising products to offering unique brand experiences. To put it in the words of Vittorio Radice, CEO of leading Italian department store La Rinascente, “We want to be the place where we know that the people shopping there are not actually shopping for products, they‘re shopping for an experience.” This transformation is happening everywhere. Discounters have recognized the need to reinvent themselves and provide better quality and service instead of just cheap prices as evidenced by the move of Aldi Süd in Germany who is planning to grow the share of branded products in its assortment to as much as 25%. Shoppers should no longer be called shoppers if one thinks about the traditional definition: “One who visits stores in search of merchandise or bargains.” The times when people were searching for just merchandise or bargains are gone. The explosion of social media and the many possible brand interactions have created a new breed of shoppers. These people want to have a say in what is sold, they join forces to gain better prices and are more than happy to share their experiences if they feel listened to. So how do retail brands strive in such an environment? How will they engage with the new breed of shoppers? What does the future of retail communication look like? These are just some of the questions we will raise in this study and we hope that you’ll find the answers interesting.
