Retail trend in the picture: Service Experience 2.0

For intangible offers (insurance, banking), physical presence provides a new way to interact with the customer. Ironically, the growth in online access highlights the needs for physical space to truly connect with customers.

For services providers (telecom), they must figure out new ways to provide a compelling retail experience.

Innovation cases highlight new ways to create a service experience to the consumer that are about experiences and connections, not just selling.
