The Changing Face of Retail
What Modern Consumers Expect From Retail Customer Service
What does it mean to be a “retailer” in 2021? What may have been standard just ten years ago, no longer holds true. In the past year, big box retailers were forced to become direct-to-consumer brands overnight. Many businesses closed their store fronts and focused on online operations. Subscription services, personalized products and flexible marketplaces are now sought after by modern consumers. And, most importantly, customers no longer see relationships with retailers as transactional — they see brands as an extension of their identity.
