Physical Retail is where its at, it compliments online and most shoppers want a seamless online and instore offering. A thought provoking piece in the Indo, I've pulled a little of my thoughts on it into this post. In an era where online shopping is at our fingertips, there’s something irreplaceable about the in-person shopping experience. As retailers on Dublin’s Grafton Street and throughout Europe are finding, customers still crave the chance to engage directly with products. The smells, textures, and immediacy of physical stores resonate with shoppers, especially as they look for authentic experiences that online platforms alone can't offer. At Positive Retail, we believe that a physical presence doesn’t just complement online sales—it amplifies them. When customers visit a store, they often become more engaged with the brand, which can lead to online shopping even after they leave. In fact, research shows that a store within a 20-minute drive can increase online sales nearby by 10-20%. Having a store doesn't mean choosing one over the other; it’s about integrating both channels to maximise engagement and loyalty. Just like Adidas, North Face, and Decathlon, who are seeing great success through their expanded store networks, we see physical retail as a powerful way to build deeper connections with our customers. Shoppings should be immersive, interactive, and, above all, personal. So while online retail is crucial, let’s not forget: there's nothing quite like the magic of experiencing it in person. #PhysicalRetail #CustomerExperience #PositiveRetail #ShoppingExperience #Omnichannel #RetailTechnology Retail Excellence Ireland Keelan Bourke Brenda Kelly https://lnkd.in/eGkHnMWM

*Supporting Irish Retail & Hospitality: A Choice That Matters* As we head into the weekend, I urge you to think about where you choose to spend. Ireland’s retail and hospitality sectors are facing tough times, with recent data highlighting a challenging landscape. According to AIB Merchant Services Q2 2024 Retail Spend Outlook Report, overall retail spending in Ireland has seen a marginal decline of 0.1%, with in-store sales dipping by 0.3%. This is the first time in over two years that retail spending hasn't shown year-on-year growth. While a 0.1% decline seems minor, the impact on small businesses is profound. Many are grappling with rising operational costs, inflationary pressures, and increased staffing costs due to minimum wage hikes and expanded sick pay and pension obligations. For many retailers, these added expenses are eroding already thin margins, making it increasingly difficult to stay profitable. Additionally, regulatory costs and a lack of cohesive government strategy to support local business add further strain on these sectors. Tourism, typically a significant driver of revenue for Irish retail and hospitality, has also seen fluctuations, reducing foot traffic and affecting sales. For these businesses, the challenges are compounding, and every choice we make as consumers has an impact. At Positive Retail, we’re committed to empowering Irish retailers with technology solutions that help them manage their operations efficiently and remain competitive. Supporting local isn’t just about keeping shops open; it’s about preserving the vibrant character of our neighborhoods. So, as you make your plans this weekend, think about the ripple effect of your choices. Shop Irish, support local, and let’s give back to the businesses that make our communities unique.
