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.”
