The march of the internet into retail is relentless. Online is where
customers spend their time and, increasingly, their money. The internet
is also changing. The rise of mobile is giving web access to millions
more developing nation consumers, while simultaneously resetting the
expectations of customers in highly developed markets. No retailer,
anywhere in the world, can afford to be without a response to these
fundamental changes in the way their customers are shopping. This is a
handbook for planning, implementing, operating and enhancing that
response. Packed with statistics, case-studies and examples, The
Multichannel Retail Handbook is above all a practical guide. It provides
useable tools and decision-frameworks. It offers actionable advice and
recommendations. It takes the retailer to from "why-what-how" through to
"when". The 2016 Edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect
the changes that have taken place in this rapid-moving sector since the
original edition was published.
