Retail Trend Tours - A journey into the future of retail

A shopping trip that makes you money…

“Thanks for a great tour. It stimulated lots of ideas about how we can create stronger connections with consumers in our store environment, and was a great launch activity for our new store design project.”
– Melissa Potter, Managing Director, Clarks International

Contrary to popular belief, physical retail spaces are as important as ever for a business’s profitability. But their traditional role has changed irreversibly.

The key is integrating your customer’s physical and digital experiences. More than 50% of people buying in stores are influenced by their online content.

So our retail trend tours take you to the heart of the innovations in the retail world, showing you the businesses that are leading the way. By experiencing these pioneering trends in action, and interacting with the people behind them, you’ll not only see what smart retailers will be doing in the future, but also what their customers will want. That’s why global brands such as Philips, Clarks and Marks & Spencer came to us when they needed to plan for their future.

We’ve helped blue-chip brands understand:

- How creating an experience will become increasingly important in retail space

- How pioneering brands are linking their physical and digital channels effectively

- How technology and cutting-edge innovations can boost sales

- What store formats and POS displays will look like in the future

Our tours are guaranteed to energise your business. Because we offer:

- Private meetings with the key people creating, driving and managing the trends and innovations – unique insights straight from the horse’s mouth

- On-theme food, accommodation and travel, making sure that every second of your tour is packed with ideas

- Follow-up workshops, to turn what you’ve learnt into meaningful strategies

All of our tours are tailored to your needs, usually lasting between half a day and two days.
