7. RETAILING FRAMEWORK
– At start, BEECHTREE was only a store-based retailing brand which had some physical outlets
in some cities of Pakistan. While the Pakistani economy has steadily been moving online, a
large part of the consumer’s retail experience still relies on brick-and-mortar shops.
– That is, until the government-imposed lockdown from COVID-19. Since then, retail foot traffic
dropped to an all-time low — down 70% on the previous month’s baseline.1 When spring came
without its usual crowd of shoppers, retailers scrambled to adapt to this new normal.
– The retail industry, despite these challenges, continued to bloom, as consumers shifted their
attention online. Since then, the conversion of offline to online consumers has continued to
multiply.

articles is launched, they set a high price for them and tag them as “New Arrivals” on their

down the prices of specific articles and offer 30% to 50% off for increasing the sale and to sale
the available stock rapidly.
