"The future of the physical shop according to Kapriol"

Speaker: Paola Ruzzon, Head of Visual merchandiser

The pandemic years have severely shaken the foundations of physical shops all over the world and have brought consumers closer to the online shop, radically changing their habits. Will the physical shop still make sense? The answer is yes, as long as certain strategies are put in place and certain sales and product offering processes that are no longer suited to the new consumer are reversed. What are the reasons for continuing to invest in the shop? How are neighbourhood hardware stores behaving and how are the big retail players changing? What strategies should be introduced? Kapriol shares its experience in the retail world and explains the reasons why it firmly believes in the physical shop and visual merchandising techniques as the first and winning sales tools.
