Retail re imagined : shopper engagement in a multichannel world.

Shopping is no longer prescriptive.
Almost everyone is a multi channel shopper. These channels have emerged fast. Shoppers need to be able to move seamlessly between channels. Returning to the store on their terms.
Mobile commerce is connecting and blurring the experience.

Physical stores need to be re imagined; great spaces will succeed. Fewer, better stores and treating every store as a flagship and asset.
Win through localising the experience.

Harness the social, people are far less trusting in institutions and traditional media. Engagement in peers they trust is more common.
Era of transparency nowhere to hide pricing.
CSR is still a major concern of shoppers. Factoring in the cost and message.

There is a mass problem with high St real estate vacancy, one solution is to bring back affordable living for Gen Y in these areas.
