At this week’s IRX 2016 we heard from leading retailers about their vision of how the ecommerce and multichannel industry is developing both now and in the future. In today’s InternetRetailing newsletter, we report on four Views that just kept coming up. In a conference where retailers gathered to debate the subjects that mattered to their businesses, these were subjects that they came back to again and again, from whether click and collect will carry on growing to how to manage Black Friday demand. We’ll coming back to IRX 2016 through key interviews online and in our series of IRUK Top500 Performance Dimension Reports over coming weeks and months.
Today we also report on Amazon’s highly profitable latest figures, on a year of transformation at Argos, and on expansion at VeryExclusive.co.uk.
Today’s guest comment comes from Lars Schickner of Intershop, who considers data issues around the EU-US Privacy Shield.
