Individual needs
For quite some time now, shopping has been about far more than just satisfying people's basic needs for food and clothing. Modern customers are discerning: their expectations vary according to their lifestyles, situations and trends. For retailers the challenge is to identify consumers' needs early on and adjust their product portfolio accordingly.
