Retail Reset

Retail has certainly had a tough start to the year, bushfires along with Covid 19 have caused major disruptions. With a large number of stores closing during the peak of the pandemic and people asked to stay at home, sales have dropped dramatically. However, we are starting to see restrictions being lifted and shops reopening.

Amongst all the uncertainty however, this period has given most retailers a chance to start over when they reopen. Apart from the people side which I’ll cover in a moment, this could include revisiting what stock they carry, how best to merchandise and lay out their stores. This is an unprecedented event that allows retailers to focus more on their business instead of being overwhelmed in having to deal with the many day to day challenges.

In my particular area of expertise, I wanted to focus on the people side of the business. Great retailers have amazing people from the top down and especially at store level where the everyday interaction with customers takes place. I don’t have to remind you how competitive retail has become and now even more so as customers have become a lot more used to purchasing online.
