Trade is change
Changing customer needs require retailers to continually respond to trends. The emergence of online stores has increased this pressure as online purchasing has become the social norm. Customers expect intuitive user interfaces, barrier-free payment options and fast deliveries. Companies that cannot provide this service face challenges.
In stationary retail, smart concepts such as showrooming are crucial for success. In a highly competitive market, managers must identify customer needs and trends, develop adaptation strategies and create a positive shopping experience.
