Currently, less than 20 percent of shoppers are confident that retailers are providing a safe shopping environment. As more and more states allow non-essential stores to open the big question is will shoppers return? Retailers and restaurateurs think so and they are finding new and creative ways to engage customers.
You may have already reopened your store for business, or your doors might still be closed, either way we bet saving money is always on your mind. In this Retail Adventures podcast Kizer & Bender & Baum share easy to do ideas to help you cut unnecessary costs and increase your bottom line.
In the "Now Normal" it’s far from business as usual as stores planning to re-open must follow stringent health and safety guidelines. What’s happening at retail right now includes frequent sanitation, "no-touch" is the rule, fitting rooms are closed, returns are questionable, and in spite of it all, retailers are creating new product opportunities customers love.
Welcome to the NOW NORMAL. During this Retail Adventures podcast Kizer & Bender & Baum discuss how our world - and retail - is changing daily, plus how retailers are learning to pivot.
