BASES Retail innovation capabilities
A full suite of retail solutions designed to help you improve your organization’s return on innovation
What does innovation look like for retailers?
It’s any new to the world idea. It could be a new product, service, advancement, method or process. Simply put, it’s doing something you haven’t done before.
Innovating in retail is more important than ever. Shoppers engage with products, services, and retailers in ways that were never before possible. From the rise of new in-store experiences to expanded store-within-a-store offerings and the ever-growing role of e-commerce and omnichannel, knowing where to invest to drive growth can feel daunting.
With a range of best-in-class research technologies, a global footprint and a dedication to predictive analytics, we are uniquely positioned to help retailers advance their innovation efforts.
