WDM Group
NORWICH, England, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
The May issue of Retail Digital, the pioneering media platform for all things retail, has gone live and is available to read to all professionals, retailers and enthusiasts.
This month's issue pays homage to the grandmaster of all global retailers. Walmart celebrates its 50th birthday this year, and the world's largest store is dissected.
Not only is it the most successful, store, but is also a great example of how retailers have to reinvent themselves in the light of multichannel retailing, ecommerce and the resurgence of smaller convenience stores.
A large part of these online developments in regards to mobile shopping is the influence of price comparison websites. Global Prepaid Exchange Managing Director, Kevin Harrington looks into this trend, its pitfalls, and how it is affecting high street retailers.
Further to this, ePay also discusses the role of multichannel retailing in more depth. Similarly, the role of social media is also once again explored, as the high street chains look to any developmental strategy to cling on to.
Elsewhere, Retail Digital takes its time machine back through the ages of fashion, as the world's most stylish, prevalent and popular vintage clothing stores are compared. This brief stop in history was merely a pit stop on the way back to the ancient Chinese civilisation though; as Beijing's antique stores are perused. This comes as part one of a two part series in which Retail Digital compares the shopping options available in the host city of the last Olympic Games to the upcoming hosts'. Next month, London make its own claim to contain the coolest selection of stores.
