It is possible to impact the orientation of the shoppers by offering newer formats. However, the shoppers’ preference for a store that is nearer and can be visited frequently poses a major challenge in the current retail scenario. The retailers delivering the experience of “fun” would need to offer wider assortment and an ambience where the shoppers would like to spend more time. In the current situation, due to the high cost of real estate, the retailers are finding it difficult to provide such an ambience. However, in order to be successful, the retailers need to experiment with a format that attracts both types of shoppers.
