added to this are two very important shifts their generation will bring:
blended society female leadership
2050: US will be a majority non-
Caucasian (Australia will
be similar)
2030: there will be
more female millionaires than male
’75% of millennials consider the store the centrepiece of their experience….they may
not come in as much as they use to, but they will be more knowledgeable when
they come in’
Myron Ullman, ex-Chairman +CEO J.C Penney
the physical store needs a new definition:
what this means:
business must shift it’s mindset
to meet the millennial
embrace diversity -
cultural and gender
businesses need to act like their digitally native
mobile #1. AI #2
‘channels are a language retailers speak to justify what they’re spending on IT.
it’s not understood by the customer’
Sir Charlie Mayfield, Chairman, John Lewis Partnership

what this means:
mobile first, play with AI
don’t be afraid to ‘buy’ talent
the real cost is in delaying (not doing)
experience is everything
‘if people are going to go to the store, you need to make it worth it’
Sir Charlie Mayfield, Chairman,John Lewis Partnership
the store is not just about procuring product – you can do that online.
it’s about experience, and people will pay for
experience.

what this means:
experience is your obligation
at store
it’s brand building if done
well
a product isn’t enough to get
traffic
tell don’t sell
we are marketing machines. we now when we’re being sold to and we don’t like it.
plus, millennials are more informed, more connected and way more skeptical - all thanks to tech.
they don’t care about your shareholders - they see themselves as the most important part of
the equation
the facts
your authenticity commands their
respect. tell them your story, make it human -
not corporate.
they want to buy into what you’re
doing for the world - make it better (not
generate a sale)
story spiritual stakeholders
‘we dreamt of making high quality Italian food available around the world – eat, shop and learn about the Dolce Vita’

"it is the place people come, regardless of their age, athletic ability, size, shape,
profession or personality, to connect with their best selves."

TITLE insert text here ‘our purpose was to create jobs for people
- not product’
“the purpose of business is to improve the community - it’s not a monolithic opportunity
where there’s a transaction and you made money -
understand the importance in the long-term of being an important part of the world. “
Myron Ullman, ex-Chairman +CEO J.C Penney
what this means:
work with stakeholders as important as shareholders
lead with purpose - why do you exist?
treat your customer like a human - with
heart

BESEN – Who are we?

DANIEL BESEN ANDREW POST
ANNA ELLIS JOE TACK
THIS IS WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN A RETAIL BUSINESSES NOW
3
• Profitable
• A passionate entrepreneur or founder with a vision to grow
• A unique or differentiated product, service or business model that consumers love and / or a sustainable competitive advantage
• Growth potential
PAST EXAMPLES:
WHERE DOES BESEN THINK THE PITCH WILL BE IN 3 YEARS?
4
Retail businesses in the future will need:
1. To answer the question WHY not just WHAT
2. To respond to “the age of the consumer”
3. To have one strategy which covers physical and digital
1. BUSINESSES IN THE FUTURE WILL NEED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION WHY NOT JUST WHAT It is no longer enough to have a great product or service… Why should the consumer buy it? We will be looking for businesses that:
5
1. Stand for something
2. Enhance value to the consumer
3. Have provenance or an authentic story
6
BUSINESSES THAT STAND FOR SOMETHING
SHINOLA TOMS

BUSINESSES THAT ENHANCE VALUE TO THE CONSUMER
With an innovative or disruptive business model…

2. BUSINESSES IN THE FUTURE WILL NEED TO RESPOND TO THE AGE OF THE CONSUMER Consumers today:
10
• Are more connected than ever before
• Care more about experiences than things
• Want to be part of a community in-store and online
Let’s have a closer look at each of these and what they mean for what BESEN will be looking for from businesses in the future…
11
CONSUMERS ARE MORE CONNECTED THAN EVER BEFORE
• Online has long been a cost of entry but mobile enabled is next
• Businesses need to be social – no longer an add-on but a necessity, part of the DNA of a business
TITLE insert text here
12
CONSUMERS CARE MORE ABOUT EXPERIENCES THAN THINGS
• We have known for some times that affluent Australians rate enjoying experiences above acquiring material goods – this is translating to retail
• We like retailers that provide in-store experiences that give consumers a reason to get off the couch and shop

CONSUMERS WANT TO BE PART OF A COMMUNITY IN-STORE AND ONLINE
• Being part of a community makes consumers happy – why do we think this is important for retail businesses?
1. It costs 5x as much to acquire than keep a customer
2. The #1 influencer of purchases is recommendations
3. Community engagement can increase revenue by up to 25%
• In New York in-store communal spaces such as lounges, coffee shops and free wi-fi are the norm rather than the exception

1. To answer the question why not just what
2. To respond to “the age of the consumer”
3. To have one strategy which covers physical and digital
TITLE insert text here
3. BUSINESSES IN THE FUTURE WILL NEED ONE STRATEGY WHICH COVERS PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL
15
1. When it comes to bricks or clicks, the choice is both
2. Physical stores are no longer one size fits all
3. A seamless consumer experience across all channels
TITLE insert text here
16
WHEN IT COMES TO BRICKS OR CLICKS – THE CHOICE IS BOTH
The death of retail was overstated…
• We are not saying that online only retailers will not be successful, there are many businesses where a purely online strategy is the best one
• What we are saying is that we don’t believe it is bricks OR clicks – the physical and digital are complimentary
• Online retailers are opening physical stores because retail flagships are driving online sales

PHYSICAL STORES ARE NO LONGER ONE SIZE FITS ALL • Different store concepts and formats are required for different consumer markets – we like businesses that
are innovative in adapting their footprint, offer and location
• Lowe’s – a traditional big box home improvement retailer adapting their model to the city market “Lowe’s urban stores”
• Murray’s Cheese Shop – a NYC institution that has rolled out 350 store-in-store concepts in supermarkets across the US

A SEAMLESS CONSUMER EXPERIENCE ACROSS ALL CHANNELS
• The physical and digital need to connect and the consumer needs to be able to move seamlessly between all channels
• We think UK retailer John Lewis is a great example of how a seamless customer experience should look over the few years
– 80% of customers shop across both channels – 75% of all John Lewis transactions comprise some component of online and in-store (i.e. browsing
on mobile then purchasing in-store) – 40% of John Lewis sales are online – Delivery options include next day, click and collect and commute and collect
