Receiving an order whilst you are busy or unavailable is possible now with Amazon’s network of independent retailers. These locations would expand in 2015 and maximize ecommerce potential thereby crushing brick and mortar outlets even more. Is that what you think so too?
But, we see this as a rise of brick and mortar stores as Amazon has proved it so by clubbing offline and online stores and offering enhanced shopping experience. Not just Amazon, but Google for that matter is too interested in growing offline access. Its offline store to sell Android phones, Chromebook laptops and other gadgets in London indicates the same. Amazon too is apparently trying to acquire some US RadioShack stores. There are many other brands that initiated as ecommerce seller but later entered to offline business too. Hence the future of Offline stores certainly looks secure but we look forward to a sound pairing of online and offline shopping in future.
