La nécessité d’une chose magasins
Retailers have been debating the “death of the department store” for years. But department stores don’t have to die, they only need to stay on trend. By staying relevant to the customer, grands magasins remain a destination of choice. ChainDrive provides the software solution that enables you to focus on the dynamics of today’s trends without losing the flexibility to stay on trend tomorrow.
Customer Relevancy Is Always The Trend
Cultivating customer engagement and loyalty has always been a goal for successful department store retailers. After all, who can maintain a business without customers? The department store originally was a one-stop shopping destination created in response to shopper’s needs. The retail landscape has changed since then, giving shoppers a vast array of options.
But people still like to feel connected. Social media, mobile marketing, and web stores are popular ways to connect with les détaillants but the actual store is a destination for many shoppers. Why? Because they want to touch the item and examine it before they buy it. Often a product will be researched for online reviews while standing in the aisle. Others want to order online, pick up at the store and return it immediately if it isn’t what they need. One-stop shopping destinations still appeal to customers, offering a variety of categories to choose from. Retail department stores need to stay on these trends in order to stay relevant.

If what matters to the customer is an important trend, what matters to the retailer is having the tools to stay on trend. This is what ChainDrive Integrated Retail Management Software is designed to do.
