Retailers are starting to close the gap between bricks and mortar and digital sales.
Online shopping on the rise
"Today's customer demands multiple touchpoints. The customer
is in charge, and the retailer must be able to say: ‘We'll meet you
wherever you want us to'."
- Paul Greenberg, Executive Chairman, National Online Retailers Association.
Closing this divide is about letting the customer choose their preferred style of interaction – mobile, in-store, online or
social – and creating seamless pathways between these modes.

#3 Think immersive
Apps can help with particular stages in the purchase journey. Personalise your site to welcome back a particular shopper.
If you only sell online, think hard about how a physical space could boost your business.
Even if it's about bridging the gap with services like Click & Collect, or ensuring your brand is the face of delivery when goods arrive at a customer's door, the
traditional channel can pay dividends.
#4 Bricks are the new black
Shoes of Prey allows customers to design their
own shoes in studios across the US and Australia.
Etsy opened a pop-up shop in New York City to
feature the site's designers and makers.
#5 Find novel ways to connect
#6 Invest in social media
People shop in social tribes. Align your strategy across social media so customers enjoy a seamless transition
from one channel to the next.
