Share This Post

Introduction

A McKinsey study highlights a swift digital adoption by retail stores to facilitate a more diverse range of customers. In the tech-drive and digital era, retail companies are investing in new tech solutions. In fact, it has become a norm for retailers to follow the tide of success.

Here are the top twelve trends that continue to be in the spotlight for retail stores in America:

1.     Personalized Customer Journey

In retail stores, personalization of customer journeys has become a new norm. It gives retailers and customers more control over their shopping experience.

2.     Hybrid Retail Experiences

Hybrid experiences are reshaping the contemporary retail space. As the in-store shopping experience comes back into spotlight, retailers focus on a unified omnichannel customer to deliver memorable shopping experiences by combining the best elements of the physical and digital worlds.

3.     Digitally Conscious Consumers

Millennials and Gen Z are digitally conscious of their choices. And retailers have become tech adopters to meet the specific needs of digital natives. It is also a chance to shift baby boomers and Gen X to more convenient digital services.

4.     Seamless Customer Journey

One of the common trends in the retail space right now is providing a seamless customer journey. Most customers want to purchase items based on convenience and whether or not it caters to their needs.

5.     Rise of eCommerce over Big-and-Mortar Retailers

While sales of physical retail stores are rebounding, eCommerce continues to break new records. The rise of eCommerce has paved the way for retailers to improve customers’ shopping experiences.

6.     Preparing to Not Depend on Third-Party Cookies

That’s right – Google third-party cookies are on their way out, and retailers are finding other ways to track and review customers’ actions.

7.     Workforce Empowerment

Retail owners now ensure workforce empowerment to positively impact business operations. In fact, empowered employees are highly motivated to attain and retain customers.

8.     Social Community Efforts

The social community around social commerce is expanding and growing across channels. Retailers now develop custom apps for specific customers to showcase their commitment to local communities.

9.     Multi-purpose Retail Business Model

Unlike the conventional single-purchase framework, retail stores now adopt a multi-purpose business model to promote a wide range of products. Specifically, the subscription-based model has become incredibly popular among consumers.

10. Supply Chain Disruption

Since COVID-19, retailers now understand how easily the supply chain can get disrupted. Retailers are now learning to navigate new restrictions impacting sales or changing consumers’ minds.

11. Autonomous Shopping and Contactless Payments

In terms of tech advancements, there is a high degree of innovation around autonomous shopping and transparent contactless payments in the current retail space.

12. Grow in BOPIS

As BOPIS grows, customers want an all-in-one, integrated, and transformative buying experience. Using app functionalities, stores deliver a heightened user experience. 

Conclusion

Like other industries, you can expect seismic shifts in the retail landscape. Despite unforeseeable and unprecedented events, tech solutions will continue to help retail stores evolve.

A decade ago, it was unfathomable for retailers to access and review multi-channel real-time data to make instant business decisions. In 2022, retail owners can make data-driven business decisions to increase sales and render more value for their customers.

“To Whom It May Concern,

Let me take a moment,out of my very busy day to review my experience of Sebastian Chaviano.
.
Sebastian is a dream customer service/technical support person. He’s extremely professional and nano-second responsive in every interaction. We’ve even worked on a chronic issue where I learned that his perseverance and patience are also outstanding. Over my 33 years of working in Silicon Valley, I’ve rarely met someone as easy with which to work as Sebastian.

That said, over the past 3 months of getting to know Nova POS, for the first time, I’ve also worked with Frank, Jeffrey, Jose, & Tomer – all provide the immediate service and answers I’ve required. You have a great team at Nova POS. Keep up the good work.”

Hello,
 
My name is Mert Firat, and I am the proud owner of multiple flourishing retail chains in a rapidly expanding big city. Since 2008, Nova has been a cornerstone of our ability to operate in a such a fast-paced urban environment. The top-notch customer support team at Nova has consistently exceeded my expectations, ensuring any and all concerns are promptly addressed. The live-support feature has been a lifesaver on several occasions, with expert assistance just a click away. The user-interface of the software is incredibly easy to learn, operate, and teach new employees. This hassle-free experience is imperative for the entire company,  from the CEO to every newly hired employee. What has truly set our experience apart are our account manager and technical support manager, who have been a game-changer in streamlining the process and finding creative solutions. We could not be happier with Nova, and would not be here today without the outstanding experience we’ve continuously been having for the past 16 years.
