Worthwhile listen from The Robin Report for anyone interested in Macy's or department stores in general. I agree with my colleagues Robin Lewis and Shelley E. Kohan that one of the big mistakes then Federated made after acquiring all those local department stores, well established and loved in their communities, was to change their name to Macy's. Retailers may be national, but retailing is local. #departmentstores #retailing #localbusiness

I talk a lot about failing department stores. Sadly, it is all too easy to find examples of how things should not be done. So, what are the ingredients for a *good* department store? How should retailers do department stores? I visited the iconic Selfridges in London a couple of weeks ago to see how a master of retailing approaches the challenge. Below are my thoughts on some simple rules department stores need to follow if they are to attract and entice shoppers. As I say in the slides, not every department store can afford to be like Selfridges. But it is possible to apply all these ideas in a diluted way. Department stores should be magical places to shop. Too many are not. They’ve lost the art and science of good department store retailing. And in the process, they've lost customers and market share. (LinkedIn compresses images in the carousel which makes them look grainy; so the best way to view them is to download the PDF or make the slides full size and select accessibility mode - this shows them at proper resolution). #retail #merchandising #departmentstores

Providing Data Analytics for Brick & Mortar Retail | Customer Experience Analysis | Traffic Analytics | Loss Prevention | Conversion | Staff Optimization
⚠️ Again jewellers ⚠️ and pretty much any retailer employing staff, Valentines day is just around the corner so I'm sure you'll have ample staff and your best sellers on shift. But how do you know you aren't missing days throughout the year that require the same level of attention, outside of named holidays? Daniel’s Jewellers could visualize and analyse traffic trends with a focus on power hours. This helped to clarify previous assumptions about when store traffic was up or down, and when to staff its best performers. They also changed which days they were open and closed. Shifting from transaction data to traffic data, they drastically increased their conversion rates, sales and staff hours. Here's the case study: https://lnkd.in/gvZKD2Uv I'm happy to connect if you feel as though this resonates with you. RetailNext #retailanalytics #data #marketing
