Many brick-and-mortar retailers are in trouble, and in no small part because they are failing to take advantage of the internet’s potential. The web facilitated the rise of giants like Amazon, but it also offers plenty of options to help traditional entrepreneurs compete — and succeed. The key is not to try and out-Amazon Amazon, but to provide what Amazon and its peers cannot — face-to-face customer service in a comfortable, welcoming space.
Rather than being the downfall of physical retail locations, the internet can supercharge this unique advantage. That’s why more and more retail stores are embracing digital queuing, fusing the organisational and streamlining power of the internet with the ambience and experience of going shopping.
