CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
LATE TO THE GAME
As a group, Specialty Retail brands have largely failed to make the same
omnichannel investments observed across their peers in the Department Store and
Big Box retail verticals (i.e., reserve online, ship to store, store to door).
LESSONS FROM FAST-FASHION
Select brands are rapidly adjusting their merchandise portfolio to mimic the success
of fast-fashion brands. Increased variety underscores the urgency of investment in
personalized product recommendations and accompanying offers.
LESS IS LESS…
To date, only a third of brands offer customers the tools to define a robust user
profile (beyond purchase history) and less than 10 percent incorporate advanced
product recommendations into persistent account settings.
