Whimsical webshops, scanning store assistants and wearable banking wristbands are just some of the November 2014 retail ideas that are taking the world of shopping by storm.
As beacon technology becomes more commonly used around the world, consumers will be able to enjoy shopping experiences that are more convenient and personalized to their needs. A great example of this emerging idea are wearable banking wristbands that allow one to pay for their purchases with a tap of the wrist. This hassle-free payment system saves time and is perfect for consumers who lead a busy lifestyle.
In addition to contactless banking, these November 2014 retail ideas also include interactive retail displays that give consumers an unforgettable experience while immersing them into a world of virtual reality.
