The closure of Hudson’s Bay is a wake-up call for retailers everywhere. Legacy brands can no longer rely on past consumer loyalty—they need to innovate or risk becoming obsolete. In this episode of Leap Into Livestream, I break down what went wrong with HBC and outline five key strategies they could have used to stay relevant, including Live Shopping, Social Commerce, AI-driven personalization, and monetizing digital space.
