Japan’s Fashion E-Commerce Evolving into Dynamic and Seamless Omnichannel, Winners Will Take All

By Michael Causton

  • Most retailers spent the time investing in more seamless and coherent omnichannel models, and in making the best use of stores and staff in online promotions.
  • This shift to omnichannel is also leading to changing merchandising, including pre-selling inventory, while others are turning their online stores into malls.
