Retail

More than ever, both new and established retailers face tremendous competitive challenges as they seek to maximize traffic across multiple venues, customer loyalty, innovation and overall profitability. With the recent diversification of competitors (now spanning big-box retailers, focused specialty stores, and low-overhead Internet storefronts), retailers are under increasing pressure to differentiate their offerings and create a unique customer experience. Customers - conditioned by the plethora of options available and ease of obtaining peer recommendations and information - exhibit diminished loyalty while demanding that retailers provide greater incentives to "earn" and "keep" their patronage.
