The return of Brick and Mortar retail is back
🔹Retail Real Estate Enthusiast dedicated to improving communities through development and strategic leasing. 🔹Quarterly columnist for International Retail Magazine with “The Power Of The Pop Up”.
“Great service is what creates loyal customers.” - Scott Tannen CEO of Boll & Branch Successful post-pandemic retailers are returning to the basics to maneuver in a digital age. While retailers continue to use the pop up medium to test markets, launch products and meet new customers, gimmicky attempts to woo consumers through doors is losing their luster. While “instagrammable” spaces are fun, retail experiments are prioritizing serving customers versus offering a playground with friends. Converse opened a holiday pop up in Boston where customers could design a complete personalized shoe and take it home. Kendra Scott has a pop up in Laredo, TX that allows customers to experience its Color Bar just like permanent stores to offered a tailored experience. nuuds opened a seasonal store in Los Angeles and offers guests personal shopping services to find exactly the right fit for their personality. An article in Fast Company details what other retailers are doing to differentiate themselves in a cluttered retail market and serve customers. #popup #popupstore #popupshop #retailrealestate #retail #marketing #gpretales https://lnkd.in/gvW-_HSE
