RETAIL

The last few years have demonstrated that retailers of all sizes and segments concur that a physical store presence is still a necessary and vital part of the retail landscape. From opening new stores, to doing more remodels, to making store operations more efficient, retailers are tirelessly working to make sure their customers’ brick and mortar experiences are top notch. The annual “Store Experience Study” represents the 20th year of collaboration between RIS News and IHL Group. As such, it brings the retail industry the definitive study that examines trends for the coming year in terms of technological advances that impact retail operations, growth plans, budgets, and planned technology purchases for 2023 and beyond.
