Is Retail Dying Today
at 6:48
Answer
Retail as we know it is definitely dying. The internet has enabled consumers to shop for the cheapest deals.
All that said, when it comes to picking a tangible good, like the Allbirds sneakers, consumers still want the satisfying experience of being able to touch and feel the product, before making their first purchase.
The internet is a great way to order replacements after that.
