The mall of the future: It’s nothing like today

The mall of the future: It's nothing like today | IntelliRetail.com

Forget the fluorescent-lit indoor mall that’s been synonymous with shopping for years. The future of retail will look starkly different 25 years out.

Full-body scanners that take your measurements, and recommend the clothes that best fit your body. Seamless checkouts that can be done from inside the dressing room or on your mobile phone, eliminating the need to wait in line.

Innovations like these are already threatening to become mainstream. And, as consumers shift a larger chunk of their spending toward the Web—where they’re offered a seemingly endless pipeline of products—experts say bricks-and-mortar locations need to undergo a complete makeover to stay relevant in future decades.

How Start-Ups are Changing the Future of Retailers

There is a wave a foot in the start-up community with companies developing products that will make it easier for consumers to find the best price for an item. Consumers will even be able to check out where the product is available locally for the best price – all from just standing in front of a retail shelf and looking up the item on their mobile device. This creates a huge problem for retailers. It’s as if every store on the planet is located in the palm of a consumer’s hand.

Can Department Stores Regain Their Relevance?

In the heyday of department stores, fashionable ladies flocked to luxury emporiums like Le Bon Marché, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and Selfridges. Department stores were wondrous and bright communal playgrounds, places to socialise and explore the seemingly endless stock of goods, often from far-flung locales. In the fight for consumer dollars, department stores have lost significant ground to monobrand stores, specialty retailers and e-commerce players. Can they regain their relevance?

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.
