When a person has a birthday, we normally celebrate it with cake and a few gifts. When a magazine has a birthday, a commemorative article is published in the anniversary issue. Display & Design Ideas (ddi) is no exception to the rule as they celebrate their 20th, but instead of the typical tribute article, they give us 20 BIG ideas in retail that have evolved during their time in print.
Here are a few that made the list:
- Supercenters
- Retailtainment
- Online Shopping
- Celebrity-based Retail
- Open-Air, Village Centers
- Green Retail
For me, one of the biggest ideas to hit is that shopping has become more than buying products, it’s become an experience. Stores have become places to hang out. IKEA has its in-store restaurant. Home Depot has its how-to classes. Not to mention the comfy lounges, interactive media, testing stations and more fill the retail landscape.
Shoppers have come to expect more from stores and retailers have stepped up to the challenge. Now if only we all had a little more time to more thoroughly enjoy the experience.
