6 Stores Surviving the Crisis Retail
With the growth of e-commerce, news about the massive closure of shops and the bankruptcy of traditional retail brands has become commonplace in the modern economy.
But, according to experts in the industry, the retail apocalypse will not lead to the devastation of shopping centers, which, as many expect, will happen as a result of continued dominance Amazon and other digital retailers.
A number of retailers not only survived the impact of changing retailers, but also excelled in their development. These stores, including the largest competitor Amazon walmart, found alternative approaches to increasing the number of customers and serving the digital world.
The National Retail Federation noted an increase in 3,6% in retail sales in 2016, and they expect this number to increase this year, said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay.
“Dozens of retailers have announced plans to add new stores and sustain growth,” Shay said.
Flourishing retailers have a number of qualities that best suit their customers. Here are six of them.
