Brazil Goes Retail: Unique Consumers, Unique Challenges
SDP2 (Store Design & Planning Track)
Forecasts are for Brazil's retail sales to increase by over 30% in the next five years, driven by strong economic growth, a rapidly expanding population, and rising disposable incomes. The lifestyles of the Brazilian middle class and upper-income groups increasingly mirror those of their peers in developed countries. The opportunity to tap into this rapidly growing market is attracting retailers of all kinds, from all over the world. But Brazilian consumers and culture are unique. FRCH Design Worldwide will provide an overview of the Brazilian market and offer perspectives on Brazilian consumers from both the retailer's and store designer's point-of-view. What are the key market demographics? How are Brazilian consumers different from their counterparts in North America? How do these differences impact retail strategy and store design and planning? Claudio Miccieli Jr. will be on hand to answer questions from the perspective of his company, leading Brazilian retailer/restaurant chain, Giraffas.

Hey, Who Moved The Front of My Store? Retailing in a Cross-channel World
SMCI6 (Shopper Marketing & Consumer Insights Track)
Presenter: Jason Goldberg
VP Strategy & Customer Experience, CrossView
Shopping has fundamentally changed, as the majority of
consumers now begin their shopping process well before they ever walk in
a store. With the rapid adoption of new social, local, and mobile
technologies, the physical and digital shopping experiences are becoming
more integrated than ever before. As the shoppers’ path to purchase
becomes more dynamic, shopper marketers must abandon the old channel
segmentation paradigm and focus on all the touchpoints that shoppers
choose to use. This session will provide an overview of the key trends
and technologies that are fueling this revolution, and will look at
specific examples of brands and retailers that are winning in a new
Cross-Channel World.
