Innovating in retail is more important than ever. Shoppers engage with products, services and retailers in ways that were never before possible. From the rise of new in-store experiences and expanded store-within-a-store offerings to the ever-growing role of e-commerce and omnichannel, knowing where to invest to drive growth can feel daunting.
