Future of retailing - shops, chains, outlets, retail banks, clothing, fashion, shopping centres, malls and department stores. Conference keynote speaker

http://www.globalchange.com How retailers and shopping centres need to fight back against online sales sites which will almost always be able to beat them with huge discounts. Shopping centres and high street shops / shopping malls can deliver retail product faster into your hands than online -- even with overnight delivery. Why in an increasingly fast-changing and impatient world the high street shop will always win for some consumers who need it NOW. And the other thing is providing living, breathing shopping experience. Customer behaviour and consumer choice. Online shopping and e-bay / online travel agents. Food shopping is likely to remain a go-out-shopping activity for a very long time because of immediacy and the fact that shoppers want to touch, feel and smell food before buying. Comment by Dr Patrick Dixon, futurist, leading authority on global trends and conference speaker.

There is, and there will be room for both, shopping centres and online shopping...

Then day shopping centres are going to disapear, is when an instant delivery is available. This technology is still science fiction. It's shown in the movie The Fly, where using a "Telepod" mater can be transfered instantly.

Just my opinion...

Thanks - teleporting retail goods is science fiction of course but an interesting idea.... we do it for virtual goods such as software already, by allowing people instant downloads instead of buying a package in the computer store.

Well a short video clip has to compress complex thoughts into a sound-bite. I agree that speed of getting product will not be enough to save traditional retailing. Expect a significant shake-out. Experience for customers will be important - as part of a leisure activity. Patrick Dixon

I am afraid that jobs will be lost. Part of the reason is the cost of health care. Retailers won't have to worry about health care rent,overhead when the can just have lower overhead,and sell everything from the net in the future. The future just doesn't look to bright. Jobs will be lost due to technology.

Terribly sorry Patrick, having to fund repayments on my 'affordable' 8X salary mortgage on my tiny flat means I can't afford to go shopping.
