2018 Global Retail Trends and Innovation: Trend One: ’Smart Shopping’ [Video]

This is the first of four videos describing some of the world’s top retail trends, as presented by John Williams and Maureen Atkinson, Senior Partners at J.C. Williams Group. The topic is 'Smart Shopping' and several global innovations are included in the discussion. 

The video spans about ten minutes in length and is highly educational. 

J.C. Williams Group is part of the bigger Ebeltoft Group, which has now released its 2018 Global Retail Trends & Innovations Report. This book highlights some key insights into what innovative retailers are doing around the world. The release includes these video discussions as well as a free downloadable version of the book, available here. 

Feel free to comment below the video, and next week we’ll showcase the 2018 Global Retail Trends & Innovations Report’s second of four ‘hot trends’ for 2018 that will include a discussion of ’Interaction’. 

As well, directly below is last week’s introductory video which announced the ‘Retail Innovation of the Year’ winner of the 2018 Global Retail Trends & Innovations Report — San Francisco-based b8ta, with just nine stores in the United States, b8ta could become a terrific addition to Canada’s retail scene if the retailer finds the opportunity to move north of the border.
