Retail has historically reflected both the social changein our species and the evolutionary progress of ourculture. In the past 150 years we have seen two majorforces impacting retail. First was industrialization.With goods no longer hand crafted, the relative price ofeveryday goods dropped. The second transformationwas the mechanization of the production of food. Laborcosts and labor needs were reduced and the migrationfrom countryside began. That population shift fosteredthe rise of the grocery store and the shopping mall.
Today we are facing another societal transformation —the communication revolution. Television, the Internetand mobile phones have transformed our lives. Inemerging markets, having a mobile phone number ismore important than having a name. Our access togoods and services will never be the same.
Paco Underhill is a renowned authority on shoppingbehavior. He has spent more than 25 years conductingresearch that helps companies understand what motivates today’s consumers and about how consumerbehavior is ruled by factors such as gender, “trial andtouch” and human anatomy.
In this lively Keynote Session he will walk you through a wide variety of spaces from a consumer perspective, filling in the missing pieces between the drawingboard and execution. The mallmeets the street, meets the store,meets the product, meets theoperating culture, meets online,meets the mobile phone, meetsthe digital sign.
Paco Underhill, Founder and Managing Director, EnvirosellPaco Underhill runs Envirosell, the world’sprincipal testing agency for prototypestores, bank branches and restaurants.His books, Why We Buy: The Science ofShopping and Call of the Mall: The Geography of Shopping are out in 27languages. From his work with Wal-Martand McDonald’s to Simon Properties andVerizon Wireless, he has a wealth of experience. He’s going to talk about retail,about shopping malls and why Maslow’shierarchy of needs should include communication and what digital signage’srole is in that process. He’s funny, in-formed and, we are told, mostly on target.
