This is the third of four videos describing some of the world’s top retail trends, as presented by John Williams and Maureen Atkinson, Senior Partners at J.C. Williams Group. The topic is ‘Emotional Retail’ and how it’s all about creating emotional ties and strengthening brand awareness through intensive storytelling and strong content. 

The video is just over six minutes long, and the first retailer discussed is homegrown ‘cultural department store’ concept Indigo, which has created a very compelling retail model that expands beyond just books. Other leading innovations from international retailers are also discussed.

This book highlights some key insights into what innovative retailers are doing around the world. The release includes these video discussions as well as a free downloadable version of the book, available here.
