With the rapid technological advances in the digital marketplace, the stores of today — and the stores of the near future — usually operate and look much different than the stores of just ten or fifteen years ago.

As Retail TouchPoints notes:

“Want a look at the future of retailing? It’s already here. Technologies such as 3D printing, interactive digital displays, biometrics, and beacons are giving brick-and-mortar retailing a Tomorrowland vibe — and providing real-world benefits to boot. For example, beacons influenced an impressive $4 billion in retail sales in 2015, and that number is projected to increase tenfold this year. Deploying digital signage can increase sales volumes by more than 30%.”
