Retail staff in stores will have to change how they work as more shops begin to roll out digital solutions in their stores, leading directors in retail have said.

As part of a seamless customer experience, retailers are trying to implement omnichannel solutions to tie up their online, mobile and in-store offerings. When digital solutions hit the shop floor, the existing shop assistants will have to be retrained and learn how to get the most out of the new tools, which may be complicated.

What's Wrong With Retail?

Best Buy is bombing out.Sears, owned by Kmart since 2005, is also sinking. And Radio Shack is a wreck. How did this all happen? First and foremost, these retailers all got caught, to varying degrees, in the muddle in the middle. Or maybe in the middle of the muddle. Today, to compete effectively, you just can't be beige or average, and their stores and their offerings were basically "so what?" in every possible category. If you don't stand for something in the consumer's mind and carve out a demonstrable and defensible niche, you're nothing. You can't save yourself with advertising, promotions, coupons, and circulars. These days, any kind of "brute force" spray-and-pray advertising (regardless of the channel) is the unavoidable cost of being boring.

iBeacons in retail stores blowing up app usage, ad engagement

One of the big debates regarding iBeacons, the tech that allows iOS apps to receive location-aware notifications over Bluetooth LE, is whether or not the experience will become intrusive for users. Imagine having your local grocery store’s app installed. Once the store has installed a few beacons, you could soon find yourself overcome with notifications as you walk around without ever even opening the app. You run the risk of users getting frustrated and potentially avoiding or deleting the app entirely. However, that hasn’t been the case when it comes to the iBeacons installed by inMarket in grocery stores across the country - app and ad engagement has skyrocketed since rolling out the platform.

GettyWalton's Five and Dime was the predecessor to Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart has a long history of stealing ideas from competitors. In a recent interview, Wal-Mart Stores CEO Doug McMillon said the tradition is part of the retailer's "DNA." "I mean going all the way back to Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, we had a part of our DNA that was interested in learning from others," McMillon told PBS' Charlie Rose. "Copying good ideas. Don't be so proud that you can't implement a good idea."
