Is your store filled with customers comparison shopping with their smartphones? Are you losing sales without realizing it because your website isn’t mobile friendly or e-commerce enabled?

Technology has become both a blessing and a curse for many Canadian and U.S. retailers. The smartphone and tablet explosion, coupled with social media channels like Facebook and Pinterest, has introduced many fresh challenges and competitive pressures for retailers.

For a thought-provoking look at all six marketing and merchandising trends, along with a series of provocative questions for retailers to consider, read Nurun’s free, full trend report today.

Please note: This is the first of five trend reports. Next will be a report on business models, followed by value exchange, analytics and emerging technology platforms. The culmination of trend scanning and subsequent phases will inform future scenarios in our final strategic foresight report, which will be released in 2013.
