RETAIL TRADE FAIRS: TAKE A FRESH VIEW At Stephen Spencer + Associates, and personally, collaboration comes as naturally as breathing, and in this seemingly increasingly divided and fractious world, to quote Churchill, "meeting jaw to jaw is better than war"* and in that spirit, my latest column for Gifts Today makes the case for reimagining retail trade fairs. Since lockdown the challenges for trade fair organisers have increased in line with those facing retailers and consumers - and so I'd love to see trade fairs creating opportunities for conversations that go beyond the transactional, to explore, with urgency and creativity, how we can reinvent retail, with all the benefits to our economy and communities that would bring. You can read the column here: https://lnkd.in/evvCY2fv Thanks as always to the brilliant Clare Turner for the opportunity. * According to Churchill's biographer, Martin Gilbert, this is what he actually said - and not, it seems, "To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war"! #retail #retailtransformation #tradefairs #collaboration #reinvention #reimagine #highstreet #giftshop #futureofretail #ambience

Could I be any more excited for the next three days given the day and a half I’ve already had in New York. More steps than I thought possible but the only way to savour the city and learn more about its retail offerings is to get out and walk around it. I think every trend on the 2024 ‘trends to watch’ list has been ticked and experienced in person. Yesterday’s pre conference session on Retail Media was actually a fantastic example of why events such as the National Retail Federation conference are so important because it showed consistency in thought-led expertise. When you have different experts from around the world - supplier, agency and retailer experts- talking on a topic such as retail media, all bringing different case studies and angles but ultimately all showing the same results and having the same conclusions, it’s a powerful reinforcement around the key things that are shaping and evolving our retail industry. Check out my post on that session here. https://lnkd.in/eeH2KwPj Yesterday afternoon I switched roles and became the person being led on a retail safari instead of hosting one. The couple of hours spent being guided by the formidable Jack Stratten were fantastic and deserve a post of its own so watch out for one to follow with my take on an afternoon in SoHo, taking in an eclectic mix of stores. It starts all over again today as the actual conference and expo itself kicks off. The scale of this gathering of suppliers from around the world is staggering. Looking forward to seeing it all. The phrase ‘child in a sweet shop’ comes to mind.
