Westfield Retail Study Tour 2010 - Part 2 (Japan) In my last report I gave an overview of some of the fascinating trends I saw in Japan. Today I’d like to talk of 4 specific things I saw that I believe will become part of the Australian retail scene in the not too distant future – a new way of buying the fruit and vegies, some over the top Pet and Hairdresser retailing in an eco friendly mall, and 2 juggernauts you will hear about - Rakuten and Uniqlo. Westfield Retail Study Tour 2010 - Part 1 (Japan) 16 days, 5 cities, over 50 presentations, travelling with 48 retail savvy participants, lots to hear and see, plenty of laughs, a bit too much to drink and not enough sleep! That’s my 30 second summary of this year’s retail study tour! It was March 1st, 1995 when I opened the doors of Trak Recruiting. To mark this occasion I have put together a few words about our story so far. Separate the sheep from the goats in 2010! Having been bought up on some acres at Baulkham Hills, I was lucky enough to own a number of pet goats and realise they are so much smarter than sheep. But regardless of your preference the concept remains the same – separate the good from the ordinary. |
