In Italy, consumers confirm the desire to return to stores. Two studies illustrate this, analyzing first the January 2023 sales period, then shopping center performance for all of 2022. Positive data that bode well for the future.
The mutated international context imposes logistics and increasingly efficient inventory management, while the world of fashion (and Retail in general) wonders about the sustainability of free returns. Bizeta’s ID-STORE is the ideal solution for this new scenario.
A few weeks ago, we analyzed the emerging of new hyper-stimulating formats packed with experiences when it comes to physical stores. This time we are dealing with a trend that is the complete opposite: that of minimalist stores.
The most important names in international luxury have started investing again in physical Retail, both in Italy and abroad. At the same time, we are witnessing the birth of new store formats: from the launch of the “brick-and-mortar” of e-commerce giants to the experimentation of very original stores.
On one hand, Fashion & Luxury intends to double its investments in technology by 2030. On the other, the very young seem to still be fond of the physical store. In this coexistence between innovation and tradition, it is important to be mobile and omnichannel.
According to a study by McKinsey & Company, during 2022, global Fashion & Luxury will exceed the levels of turnover recorded in 2019 by anywhere between 3% to 8%. The success of several events supports this trend: physical Retail is by now set to overtake the pre-pandemic numbers.
By the end of 2021, 828 new stores will open in Italy, an increase of almost 8% compared to the current number. In this favorable scenario, the VISION BeanStore Retail application by Bizeta (integrated with ERP tree web by Sintesi Software) is the perfect instrument for the best results.
Between the physical store and the online store there no longer is a break in continuity. It is precisely thanks to this integration that many brands have obtained excellent results regardless of the pandemic. OneStore by Bizeta is the Retail solution that goes right in this direction.
Dark stores, retail outlets reconverted into warehouses to face the needs of e-commerce, are a phenomenon known for some time now. However, for a few months, word has been that they are the post-pandemic future. Let us see how realistic this forecast is.
From flagship stores bringing Made in Italy all over the world to new executive showrooms, all the way to stores once considered solely for selling now becoming actual relational centers. The renewal of Fashion & Luxury also passes through the design of innovative environments.
Following the latest global events, the public who is progressively returning to stores shows never-before-seen characteristics. Once again, technology can come to the aid of Retailers, anticipating needs, and engaging an increasingly multi-faceted clientele.
A 2020 influenced by lockdowns and a pandemic approaches its end. Fashion experts, while processing the usual year-end evaluations, notice how, in any case, Fashion is completely able to respond to crisis. Innovation, internationalization and omnichannel are the keywords to intercept the consumption habits for the years to come.
