Online-Only Retailers Going Physical
Founded in 2010, Warby Parker started as pure online retailer.
They opened their first store in 2013.
"As awesome as the internet is,
somebody can
experience a brand
in a physical setting in a way that no
digital experience
can replicate."
"In five years when
people use the term
"retail,' it'll mean both
physical and e-commerce. The
phrase ‘e-
commerce’ won't
even be used any
more.”

His mid-term vision… Blumenthal’s words (WP founder):
Vision and Strategy
Which are the reasons for these pure online retailers to
opening brick-and-mortar stores:
• Improve customer
experience, where digital
can’t reach
• Reinforce the communi-
cation message & connect
with the customer
• Offers gravitas to the brand
and more exposure
• Pop-up stores & show-rooming phenomenon
• Increase customer loyalty

“destination”. Destination brand was
originally pioneered by Genius Bar of

The challenge here is to transform
the physical store as a place to feel,
touch, listen and BUY and create
seamless brand experiences
Challenge: Create Destination Brands
Focus on delivering multichannel retail experience and seamless shopping experience will be key for success:
• Ability for customers to pick up and return online orders in store • Offer consistent pricing and promotional offers across channels • Ability to synchronize the data from online and offline stores
• Flexibility options in the delivery
• Customers need to feel that
they are valued and
remembered, regardless of which channel
• Customer service “ninjas” who
will respond to online inquiries
via chat, email or phone

Keys for Success
Retail IT landscape is constantly evolving and customers are increasingly demanding experimental experiences. Some of the benefits of having physical stores and related to the concept of providing a seamless cross-channel shopping are:
Create a more emotional connection by appealing to the five
human senses, and that’s possible with face-to-face service
• Physical stores act as distributed fulfillment centers,
serve online orders from stores So retailers are embracing ship-from-
store more than ever before service same day delivery at low cost
• Offer click-and-collect
• Increase up-selling opportunities

Despite of the exponential
growth expected in e-
commerce and m-
commerce, physical stores will
remain driving sales in the
coming years (>95% of total
sales)
The role of the brick and
mortar store is evolving from
being a destination of
commerce to being a hub of
omnichannel customer
engagement
