In today’s Internet Retailing newsletter, we have our eyes firmly fixed on the future direction of retailing. We report on new BRC figures that point to the changing role of the high street in UK retailing, on the growing importance of mobile commerce, as seen through the lens of the Shop Direct Christmas trading figures, while our New Year series on the future of retail today links the two, finding out how retailers might use mobile to connect their stores to online. Where better to discover all these future trends than Internet Retailing eXpo 2014? In today’s newsletter we round up the highlights and explain just why the event is a must on the commerce and multichannel executive’s calendar. Today we also bring you the latest updates from Asos and FatFace.
