      Download pdf

      INTRODUCTION

      Welcome to Retail Done Right. These Show Notes accompany our Season 2, Episode 6 podcast, “Goodbye 2021 – Hello 2022.”

      It doesn’t seem right to end the year without sharing a recap from our perspective. Plus, though it’s not without reservation, we will share a few predictions for 2022.

      GOODBYE 2021

      We compiled and discussed what we consider to be the biggest events relating to retail of 2021. Let us know if you agree.

      1. COVID-19
      2. Supply Chain
      3. The Great Resignation
      4. Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL)
      5. Ultra Fast Delivery
      6. Retailer and DTC IPOs

       

      HELLO 2022

      We then discussed our predictions for 2022.

      1. The Pandemic…is here to stay
      2. Supply Chain…improvements are coming
      3. Social Commerce…will increase but not soar
      4. Collaborative Commerce & Conscious Commerce…will boom
      5. Cannabis…not Federal legalization, but progress
      6. Ultra Fast Delivery services…will consolidate
      7. Returns…we’ll see tech and restrictions to reduce
      8. Physical Retail Stores…will expand

      CONCLUSION

      We are going to continue to explore this fascinating and ever-changing industry. Retail is truly fascinating – and deeply woven into our lives – from grocery to the pharmacy to the clothes we wear to how we treat our planet and even to how we treat each other.

      We have a lot more exciting topics and conversations and guests to come in 2022. We’re so happy you are joining us on this journey.

      Let’s go shopping!
