Midsize retailers are focused on growth, but always with an eye on profitability. Although midsize retail firms may lack the resources of their larger competitors, they enjoy the advantage of being closer to the customers, and of being more flexible in strategy execution and pricing. But many retailers worry that these attributes may erode as their businesses expand.

The key to success with omni-channel sales
According to Retailing Today* “E-commerce is getting bigger, not going away, but it’s not putting a stake in the heart of stores either. Instead, as retailers learn more about how to move toward true omni-channel integration, the physical presence and the online presence will be more intertwined. Previous years’ rampant fears about ‘showrooming’ are giving way to success stories around leveraging stores in support of omni-channel strategies.”

:
