Global Retail Trends - Neighbourliness by GDR Creative Intelligence

Neighbourly values are held in high regard by today’s shoppers who seek out brands that are helpful and approachable. In turn, retailers are getting closer to their customers, and to each other, resulting in advocacy, intimacy and – importantly – profit. 

The most innovative brands are being invited over the threshold, disrupting traditional bricks-and-mortar approaches by making themselves at home and engaging with customers, not on the high street, but in the living room.
