Retailers must compete for consumers’ attention. Many are already enhancing the in-store experience to lure consumers and increase dwell time by investing in F&B offerings and ensuring the right merchandise mix, for example. Using loyalty programs for example, retailers are capturing individual shoppers’ preferences across multiple points of sale to target consumers’ desire for customization and to maximize providing what is relevant without the noise. Customers value a convenient shopping experience with curated and thoughtful product assortments, in an engaging cultural and experiential environment. Retailers must learn the individual preferences of their customers and provide the best merchandising strategies to keep them coming back. The ultimate goal for retailers is to provide a customer journey across all channels in which there are no barriers between consumers and products and the walls between
- ffline and online shopping come down.
The core human desire for in-person connections
- persists. The engagements between shopper and staff
should become solutions-oriented interactions where salespeople, with the assistance of in-store technological innovations, are able to provide better service and communication.

Methodology
- From February 1 to May 23, 2018, an ICSC survey, conducted by the strategy and research
firm Alexander Babbage, tracked retail web traffic and consumer brand awareness among emerging and established brands.
- The web traffic analysis included retailers that opened or closed a total of 804 stores,
with an estimated 18.6 million square feet of gross leasable area, in 145 markets covering a population of approximately 222 million residents.
- For each store opening, a five-week buffer was set around the opening date, and the 13
weeks before and after the buffer were analyzed. For each store closing, share of web traffic was analyzed in the 13 weeks before and after the quarter in which the store closed.
- The analysis of consumer perceptions, including approximately 4,200 respondents,
compared results from a national benchmark (created from 21 retailers with 9,516 stores across the United States) to a subset of 923 stores in 10 markets where those retailers specifically had at least one store.
