If a retailer does not recognize the changing dynamics of the consumer; how they will shop and connect with brands in the future, they will not just be punished; they will be punished with impunity.
2. Why is it
Why is it a man wakes up in the morning, after sleeping on his
advertised bed, on his advertised mattress in his advertised pajamas.
He will bathe in his advertised tub, shave with his advertised razor and
shaving cream, have breakfast with his advertised juice, cereal and
toast….toasted in his advertised toaster, put on advertised branded
clothes and quickly glance at his advertised watch. He will catch the
news on his new advertised flat screen that he purchased at a heavily
advertised store. He will ride to work in his advertised car, sit at his
advertised desk and write with his advertised pen or utilize his
advertised computer.
Yet it’s ironic that when he’s approached to advertise his business, he says advertising
doesn’t pay…..until his business fails and then he’ll gladly advertise the sale
and liquidation of his business……why, so people will come and liquidate his
assets.
