Everyone shops online these days, but there are certain experiences and products that resist the move to e-commerce. When we can order almost anything online, what compels us to make a purchase in person?

By understanding how retail has evolved through the years and what the current state of omni-channel retail is now, this book offers a formula for predicting retail trends that are likely to happen in the near future.

Learn:

• how the two essential aspects of shopping, discovery and fulfillment, contribute to when consumers are more likely to purchase online or offline.
• why shopping provides either "time well spent" or "time well saved," and how to leverage that.
• what retailers and retail real estate developers are doing to stay relevant.
• how a two-axis model can help you accurately predict online and offline shopping behavior for many products and shopping occasions.
