Retail is key to our clients brand identity and is key avenue for direct to consumer
2010 has marked a significant growth in terms of fashion and youth denim brands retail store presence. Many clients who have typically been wholesalers have injected significant revenues intro retail development, or now more commonly know as “direct to consumer”. Key store concepts consist of brand stores, concept stores according to the category or factory outlet stores.
We have also experienced clients restructuring their retail divisions to “Customer Experience” divisions, noting a real shift towards what really matters to the consumer and what makes a real impact to purchasing and gaining customer loyalty. Diesel is a prime example of this, continuing to grow their strength and presence on the market.
The presence of a store on the high street, or outlet village has never been more important and we predict this trend will continue for the next three years as a minimum.
