Improve Networks
Most of the retailers surveyed have had networks installed for more than two years – since network contracts are generally short-‐term/high-‐turn with a usual length of 3-‐5 years there are opportuni)es to improve networks

Sugges9ve Selling
[Opportunity]

Sugges9ve Selling
[Opportunity] There is a compe99ve advantage for retailers who have implemented CRM/Loyalty programs to gather, view, and u9lize customer informa9on

Addi9onal Mobile Services
[Opportunity] Retailers are beginning to gather email addresses and u9lize them to push promo9ons to customers – the next step is to push these personalized promo9ons directly to the customer’s smartphone as they walk in the store
In today’s web-‐enabled environment, where Apple and similar retailers have changed the playing field by shi[ing the way customers and retailers think about the in-‐store experience, retailers need to con-nually innovate to survive.
To succeed, retailers need to offer a seamless experience across all channels and con9nually research and understand their customer’s behavior, wants, and needs to achieve a deeper, more emo-onal connec-on and encourage customer loyalty.
