Why experiential is the Future of Retail
Illustrated with 20 killer best practices
© Lululemon
“I certainly don’t think we’re in the midst of a retail
apocalypse and I do not believe that Amazon is killing
retailers.
I believe retailers' bad service is killing retailers.”
Laura Alber, Williams-Sonoma's CEO at Recode's Code
Commerce event, 2017

Consumers don’t care about channels. They care about a unique &
personalized experience

Successful services offer convenience, time-saving and
human advice (Price scan, Click &Collect, Personal shopper
…)
While other technology services are still considered
“goodies” 
And above all, people want to be left alone unless
they ask for help

Pairing the right service with the right in-store customer experience is
key for retailers
In-store experience will be US retailers’ 2nd largest area of marketing
spend, with 55% of retailers investing in it by 2020

“Media is becoming the store. As a result, stores must
become media… stores are the most powerful,
measurable, manageable form of media that a brand has
at disposal.
Stores can’t be just about distributing products. They need
to be about distributing experiences — less stores, more
stories”
