🔍🛍️ Parisian Passages and Beyond As I continue my journey exploring the ever-evolving landscape of retail spaces, my latest adventure has led me to the iconic 'passages parisiens'. These historic arcades, reminiscent of London's own charming alleys, offer a mesmerizing blend of culture, history, and modern retail innovation. What's truly fascinating about these Parisian passages is how they encapsulate the essence of change while steadfastly holding onto their rich cultural heritage. In each passage, there's a story being told, a legacy being preserved, and yet, a constant adaptation to the modern consumer's needs and expectations. 🇫🇷 In the heart of Paris, these passages aren't just shopping destinations; they are living, breathing entities that represent the evolution of retail. From quaint boutiques to contemporary pop-ups, each turn offers a new surprise, a different experience. I'm excited to soon share with you all a detailed observation of several of these passages. We'll dive into how they are evolving and adapting in today's retail world while preserving their unique Parisian charm. Stay tuned as we explore the intricate balance of tradition and innovation, and how these historical passages are setting trends in the global retail space!! #passagesparisiens #culturalheritage #retailtour #retailexperience #topretailexpert #realretail #customerexperience Agathe Crochard Ghalia Boustani - Retail Consulting

As a supporter of Sunday openings in the German retail sector, I see significant potential for positive transformation, particularly in cities such as Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, or Frankfurt. In the consultancy-intensive luxury industry, Sunday opening could be a pivotal development. In these metropolises known for their vibrant urban lifestyles and discerning consumers, the option to shop on Sundays could make a substantial contribution to revitalizing the retail sector. Specifically in the luxury industry, where consultation and the shopping experience are paramount, the open Sunday might provide an additional opportunity to engage customers and fulfill their needs. The presence of high-end boutiques and exclusive stores in these cities creates an ideal environment for Sunday shopping experiences that go beyond mere transactions. It could not only allow customers to browse and purchase at their leisure but also highlight personalized consultation and social interaction. Overall, the concept of Sunday opening shouldn't be viewed solely as an economic measure for boosting revenue but as an opportunity to reshape the retail landscape in a contemporary and customer-centric manner. It is hoped that in the future, the benefits of Sunday opening, particularly in sectors like luxury, will be more strongly considered. What are your thoughts and experiences on this potential shift in the retail paradigm? How do you perceive the idea of Sunday openings, especially in cities with a strong presence in the luxury industry? #SundayShopping #LuxuryRetail #RetailRevitalization #UrbanLifestyle #ShoppingExperience #ConsumerEngagement #RetailInnovation #CityCommerce #LuxuryConsultation #FutureOfRetail #SonntagsShopping #LuxusEinzelhandel #EinzelhandelRevitalisierung #Stadtlebensstil #Einkaufserlebnis #Kundenbindung #EinzelhandelInnovation #StadtHandel #LuxusBeratung #ZukunftDesHandels

"A curated view of where innovation is happening in marketing today, why it matters, and how it is transforming modern business". --- Immersive journey. Our city of Milan is full of initiatives, with hardly a week passing without something interesting to discover. Living here is easy; just step out the front door and explore. Many things happen across various sectors, and retail is certainly one of the most visible and accessible. The prestigious Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet continues to enhance its presence in Europe's top shopping destinations by opening owned stores, and Milan was a natural choice following Zurich, Munich, Amsterdam, and Hamburg. These spaces, which have a look and feel between a store and an apartment, are named AP House. They are rather large and exude refinement and warmth to offer an experience that becomes an emotion when purchasing a watch of this caliber. Led by the Lissoni & Partners studio, the project occupies five floors in the San Babila area, paying homage to Milan's 20th-century architectural heritage and the design world of the '60s and '70s while respecting the strong identity of the watch brand. 🙌 What’s your take? # 334 RETAIL, Italy 👉 More content on our website and subscribe to the weekly newsletter; the link to the featured news is in the first comment below. 🎯 If you want to learn more about our transformative approach to generating growth (yes, what we call innovation marketing!), feel free to write me privately.
