Disruptive Innovation for Your Holiday Shopping
July 14, 2015
As mobile evolves, its speed quickens and e commerce continues to grow to the primary learning platform
for retail forward brands, the consumer’s knowledge, power and resources are also growing in parallel.
Their options are expanding, their attention span is shrinking and there seems to be a new opportunity to
abandon cart around every aisle, click and tap.
Now more than ever, retailers need to explore new, unconventional and innovative ways to keep the
consumer engaged in-store and online from research to checkout.
But the innovators in the industry recognize this as opportunity… Do you?
The technology landscape is drastically changing
the way consumers shop across platforms.
