‒ Disruption abounds. Adapting to and capitalizing on these disruptions is a formidable challenge for both manufacturers and retailers.
‒ Previous competitive advantage was achieved by investing billions in factories, distribution centers, and stores to achieve scale and efficiencies.
‒ As digital disintermediates retail, you must reconfigure your retail strategies to adapt to 21st century retailing.
‒ Only those retailers and suppliers who REengage shoppers, REimagine value, REinvent formats, and REtool commerce will thrive.

‒ Disruptive technologies are fragmenting shoppers’ relationships with retailers and brands.
‒ Competition for shopper mindshare is chaotic and intensifying— messaging and content must cut through the clutter of communication driven by constant connectivity.
‒ REengaging shoppers means driving personalization without sacrificing scalable operations.
‒ Retailers and suppliers must develop a robust understanding of their targeted shoppers across all touch points to drive distinctive offers, curated shopper experiences, and contextual engagement.

RE-ENGAGE SHOPPERS: 3 KEY POINTS
• More Specific – “Addressable Marketing”– The facilities should be the heart of the base, and a “mirror” of the
culture of that environment – use the “Address” you’ve got
• More Personal– Digital communication platforms allow a more personal
relationship in terms of shopping aids and value
• More Fun!– Millennial Shoppers don’t view it as a chore yet

‒ As the mechanics of value become more personal, dynamic, contextual, and volatile, retailers and suppliers need to reimagine value as previous sources of differentiation are increasingly commoditized.
‒ Rather than a definition based almost solely on price, shopper value in the future will be defined by those who master the artful science of REimagining value by also delivering quality and service throughout the shopper’s brand journey.

REIMAGINE VALUE: 3 KEY POINTS
• More Specific– Mid-tier positioning confuses shoppers more than helps them –
make ic clear what we stand for
• More Personal– More and more retailers will be delivering more and more
promotions and price to individuals out of the public domain
• More Fun– Shoppers willing to consider other factors than price, in particular
things that make shopping more stress-free!

‒ The physical and virtual space in which the retailer engages the shopper is in flux.
‒ We are witness to a tremendous reallocation of capital deployment, a revenge of physical retail space, and a complete reboot of how store formats serve a more convenience-oriented, efficiency-motivated, and experience-craving shopper.
‒ Categories that were once bought in stores are now often not, and the nature of sales and service in-store has been permanently altered.
‒ The confluence of these changes demands a baseline REinvention of store formats and their purpose.

‒ Shoppers demand a seamless omni-channel experience, and most retailers and suppliers are underprepared to deliver truly multichannel commerce.
‒ There is enormous pressure at the intersection of retailer and supplier commerce models that is based on item at a price margins.
‒ Suppliers must fight to maintain mindshare in this more holistic profit equation.
‒ Only those retailers and suppliers who REtool their commerce models will thrive

‒ If the plan is to gain store distribution need clear visibility on how this product will change the economics of the shelf
‒ Primarily brick and mortar retailers desperately need help with two things
• Avoiding the speed to price compression of frequently comped items
• Building better definitions of omni-channel profitability
‒ GMROI seems like a good place to start! But physical assortments will need “return on capital” style measures in order for complex asset bases to survive
TODAY, ASSESSING “SHELF LEVEL” INNOVATION REQUIRES UNDERSTANDING THAT INNOVATION’S ECONOMIC ROLE AT RETAIL

RETOOL COMMERCE: 3 KEY POINTS
• More Specific– I have to make the most of every square foot and linear inch –
unleash the power of category management and the partnership of suppliers to get there!
• More Personal– Shoppers will configure their own relationship to pricing –
remember for Amazon price is an outcome, not a strategy…
• More Fun– What else do shoppers buy that makes them happy?
