Consumer Acquisition And Connection In The Evolving Retail Environment

The dynamic and evolving retail environment continues to present retailers with challenging and potentially profitable e-commerce opportunities.

Retailers must look for ways to connect and measure success as customers transition from brick-and-mortar stores to an all-embracing omnichannel experience.

The fluctuation of store closures over the last few years—and the business landscape moving forward—illustrates the strategic importance of active portfolio management and a strategic plan for integration of online and store-based shopping.
