Sustainable Fashion Takes Center Stage
Sustainability has always been popular amongst shoppers, but recently, it’s taken on new heights. Some shoppers view sustainable shopping as no longer a choice—it’s a priority. Consumers are looking for brands that prioritize environmental responsibility, and this spring, sustainable fashion is blooming like never before. As a retailer, think about bringing in recycled materials, including upcycled fabrics or recycled fixtures.
Experiential Shopping is the New Norm
A lot of shoppers aren’t exactly attracted by just a store anymore. They want a shopping experience to remember. In doing this, retailers are reimagining their spaces to engage customers on a deeper level. Think pop-ups with AR mirrors that allow you to try on outfits virtually or workshops demonstrating how to style new looks. You don’t have to get that outrageous with it though, there are small things to do like include your shopping with things like coffee bars, co-working spaces, or even yoga studios, giving you plenty of reasons to stay longer.
