Physical retail isn’t dead—but boring retail is! Remarkable Retail equips the savvy retailer with eight essential strategies to deliver a powerful customer experience.

Despite the clickbait headlines that warn of a “retail apocalypse,” many brick and mortar retail brands are enjoying strong growth and profits. Others, however, are destined to become obsolete because they offer merely convenience, decent prices, or an okay shopping experience. In Remarkable Retail, industry thought leader Steve Dennis argues that retailers can no longer count on scarcity to drive sales, or settle for providing indifferent in-store experiences, because customers live online and have a wealth of choice and information at their fingertips.

In the book, Dennis unpacks the trends that are squeezing traditional stores and presents eight essential strategies for visionary retail leaders who are prepared to reimagine the customer experience in the age of digital disruption. A remarkable retailer is digitally enabled, human centered, harmonized, mobile, personal, connected, memorable, and radical.

In most retail categories, digital channels are now central to the consumer’s journey, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t also shopping in stores. Packed with illuminating case studies from some of modern retail’s biggest success stories, Remarkable Retail shows retailers and those in adjunct industries such as manufacturing, marketing, and tech, what it takes to create big buzz around the in-store experience.

In an age where consumers have short attention spans and myriad options, Remarkable Retail is your crucial roadmap to creating a powerful retail experience that keeps your customers coming back for more.

    Today we face a veritable tsunami of information, and our challenge is often how to separate the signal from the noise. A shopper can readily find a vast amount of data and perspectives from a plethora of sources, including fellow shoppers. Most retailers’ websites contain highly detailed product information pages, and many now include customer reviews, demonstration videos, and the ability to do side-by-side product comparisons. Sites that aggregate product or service information like TripAdvisor, eBay, and Rakuten do much of the same but typically add the ability to compare products across different retailers. There are seemingly endless product review sites, expert blogs on just about anything you can imagine

    The shift from wanting ever more stuff to desiring memorable experiences
  • Fabian Vieyrahas quoted4 years ago
    The notion that disruption comes out of nowhere, catching once-powerful companies unaware, is rarely true. What’s far more common is that new brands catch fire slowly, consumer behavior shifts over many years, and most technologies take a while to grab a meaningful foothold
