Electronic retailers, big box stores, and bookstores have all been dealt a huge blow since the digital transformation heralded in by a combination partly of Amazon, Smartphone adoption, changing generational consumers, and other factors. Stores that many of us thought were so powerful came crashing down; Toys R Us, Barnes and Noble, Payless Shoes, Radio Shack, HH Gregg, and Abercrombie & Fitch are just a few examples.

What can we learn from the failures of these companies?

How can your business learn not only how to avoid failing, but instead how to have tremendous success in this new digitally transformed age?

Two Lessons Every Business Should Learn From The Retail Apocalypse

1. Every business is now a technology business.
2. You must provide an incredible, over-the-top, mind-blowing, unparalleled customer experience to your online visitors

Every Business Is Now A Technology Business 

Regardless of your industry, the size of your company, experience, and historic success, your customer is now digital. With the growth of the internet and e-commerce websites are no longer just nice to have for some businesses, but almost always a necessity. Not just any website either, but one that allows for the customers to engage, interact, and communicate easily anytime. Most business leaders didn’t make the massive effort necessary to become successful business owners in order to become website experts. They might be able to do a few small changes, but they either don’t have the time, money, or inclination to make some website that can match the proverbial Amazons of the world. However, that is what the customer expects. A website or application that is easy to use, yet powerful.
