In hardly any other industry is there as much discussion about permanent change as in retail. For decades now, people have been talking about the influence of the Internet on traditional, stationary retail, but despite various innovations, over 90% of food purchases will still be made in traditional retail in 2022.
Masterclass: Future of X - Retail
The future of (retail) trade
In the case of books, the share of online and mail-order sales is as high as 60% (source: Statista 2022).
Traditional customer segments are increasingly shifting and data-driven business models and automation are making their way into brick & mortar. Companies that have previously been successful with their online business are opening physical offices to be closer to their customers and, with this step, are also transferring the logics from the digital world to an analog environment.
Using new technologies, the point of sale is transformed into a space where brand messages and identities can be experienced in an immersive way. Customer demand for shortened supply chains, regionality, and sustainability presents retailers with a costly challenge, and finding staff that is skilled in using new technologies, whether live video shopping or tokenizing the business model in the metaverse, is also proving extremely difficult.
Goals:
- The masterclass provides an outlook on changing lifestyles in the next five to ten years with a focus on the retail industry
- You will learn about those technological, social and economic trends that will most influence purchasing in the future
- In entertaining working groups you develop first application examples for your industry
- We enable you to evaluate emerging issues in the retail environment and assess the impact on your business
