Description
“We no longer go online, we live online”- GoogleIn our discussion of the 4th Essential ("Mobile") in Steve's Essentials of Remarkable Retail framework we probe how smart devices have created a world where we can always be shopping and the new best location for our brand is wherever the customer happens to be with their smart device. Mobile is the ultimate silo-buster, allowing for an increasingly blended shopping world where the lines between physical stores and e-commerce are blurred.Adding to our conversation of how mobile is becoming the new front door to the store is online shopping pioneer and serial entrepreneur Stephan Schambach, who has been front and center in the evolution of e-commerce as the founder of multiple groundbreaking companies. He's also the author of Makeover: How Mobile Flipped the Shopping Cart. A few of Steve's related articles:The Customer is the ChannelOmnichannel is Dead: The Future is Harmonized Retail.
