New Technologies, Tactics Make The Store Of The Future A Reality

Shadow RTP RT059 SR Store of the Future Aug 2015Despite the rise of e-Commerce, online channels will only account for 6.7% of global retail sales by the end of 2015, according to eMarketer. That means brick-and-mortar will make up approximately 93.3% of the predicted $1.6 trillion in worldwide retail sales this year.

Although eMarketer’s projections and several other studies have affirmed that brick-and-mortar is not dead or dying, it is experiencing a rebirth of sorts, fueled by consumers’ constant connectivity to digital tools and information.
