E-Com's Immersion Into the Store

During the 2012 holidays 48 million shoppers showroomed, spending $68 billion. Retailers are redoubling their commitment to embracing and enabling mobile shoppers' online inside shopping patterns. A decade after e-commerce abstracted the paths to purchase from the store, 2013 marks a turning point – the immersion of e-commerce into the store.

Greg Girard, program director of merchandising and marketing strategies for IDC Retail Insights, will discuss the rebirth of the store as an essential omnichannel asset during his Shop Talk session "Showrooming and the Renaissance of the Store" on Thursday, June 20 at the 2013 Retail Executive Summit.

 

The twelfth annual Retail Executive Summit will be held June 19 – 21, 2013 at the Grand Del Mar in Del Mar, California. RES engages high-level retailers with thought-provoking keynote sessions and a series of concurrent workshops as well as intimate networking opportunities where retailers enjoy an ideal environment for sharing ideas and experiences with their peers.
