The Future State Of The High Street 🛍
Nick and I to discuss the important elements of the high street and answer the important questions:
- The challenge of the high street
- The history of the high street was to address the need
- Why the evolution of butchers and grocers were so important in shaping today’s landscape
- The community and local aspect of the high street and the importance of retail
- Is the Poundlound IPO a sign of potential promising times?
- The question that we should consider: Did fast fashion outlets kill the high street or was it online marketplaces? Thinking more than just eBay, Amazon, the newer marketplaces like Onbuy.com, notonthehighstreet & Etsy
- Are high streets, shopping centres, retail parks considered the same thing or are they all competing?
- Why immersive experiences are the way to go
- Why Google, Amazon and Apple have stores as essential brand extensions
- What’s coming next… a brighter more integrated high street?
