future shoppe

-


we decided to predict the way consumers would shop in the future in the next 10- 15 years , here is our prediction of shopping in the future



  • the future consumer( the current youth and toddlers ) would be completely set of pampered lot , they wud expect everything at their door steps


  • mobile and pc( e comm) led market place , than only street led ie a majority currently , there would be some big brands getting created in this( mobile and pc ) space soon .


  • shopping would be less frequent ,but done in bulk from large format stores , by a bigger mix of consumers


  • the consumer would be the king , queen and the shopper !


  • the far flung hinterlands of the country also would have a shopping destination coming up or already up , near by .


  • loyalty programs would run galore for everything , retail outlets would recognise you as soon as you walk in thru rfid or smart cards and guide you to your favourite sections


  • traditional shops wud survive but a majority wud turn out to be delivery stores for net and mobile customers !


  • grocery shopping would move to telephone and even on net ! in a big way


  • and the good news the local kirana store wud survive for sure ! -

time would tell as to whether the above holds good , lets wait and see !
