Retail businesses are facing issues that are causing sector upheaval. These are driven by a shift in consumer attitudes as well as the changing role of the store, which is disrupting traditional routes to market. Retailers face several key issues, including increased competition leading to decreasing margins as well as sourcing the right location, be it high street or distribution centre. They also face issues such as ensuring their IT infrastructure is fit for purpose, raising finance to supports the business cycle, managing exchange rate risk and dealing with the challenges of compliance obligations. To add to these hurdles is the key issue of engaging and enthusing the consumer to buy and become a loyal advocate for the brand.
