Many people may be thinking to themselves that retail is irrelevant. Don’t count retail out just yet. We are on the cusp of seeing a major overhaul in the way we experience retail.

I’m planning a longer post and possibly some interviews but I don’t have time for a longer post since I’m off to meet with clients. So with that I present to you my now reoccurring approach of not spoiling the surprise with all the details but show you the signs I’m seeing.
