Almost weekly, the news is full of stories about disappearing retail chains. From House of Fraser and BHS to Toys'R'Us and Sears, recognised names are vanishing overnight – as such large organizations disappear, so the malls, shopping centres, high streets and main streets become emptier and less appealing to visit. The retail sector is hugely important in terms of job numbers: in the US, it employs around 30 million people (directly and indirectly); in the UK, around 10 million. As such, anything that jeopardises the retail sector will have a deep and lasting impact on millions of lives, as well as on public policy. While many blame the 'Amazon effect', this is an oversimplification. Deeper forces are at work that are changing people's relationships with brands, the balance of power between producers and consumers, and the whole nature of the supply chain that has existed since the industrial revolution. Retail Therapy offers a comprehensive analysis of these forces and their impact on the world of retailing. More importantly, it presents a cogent analysis of the longer term trends that are shaping retailing, and outlines a clear road map for sustainable success in the future.

The Emotional Shopper: Assessing the Effectiveness of Retail Therapy examines the question to what extent retail therapy really works. The monograph reviews the extant literature on shopping behavior and emotions, and adopts a tripartite approach to provide a more systematic and holistic treatment of this subject. The author assesses whether retail therapy works according to three perspectives: (1) motivational, (2) behavioral, and (3) emotional. Shopping is seen as a hedonic experience that triggers a variety of emotions. The incidence (or lack) of these specific emotions when consumers shop is examined. The Emotional Shopper: Assessing the Effectiveness of Retail Therapy first reviews some conceptual foundations of the notion of retail therapy, including its definition and scope as well as the scales that researchers have developed to measure it. Next, it delves into the three aforementioned perspectives, assessing the effectiveness of retail therapy from each perspective by discussing and analyzing relevant work that has adopted the particular perspective. Finally, the author concludes with a general discussion of the main findings as well as some questions and directions for future research.

"The architecture and design of retail stores are powerful ingredients in the mix of components that attract customers. To tempt potential shoppers over the threshold is the first, vital step. The projects in this book demonstrate contemporary trends in retail design, not just in merchandising, but storefronts, shop fittings, materials, layouts and the general look and feel of the space. All these factors are designed to offer an 'experience' to the dedicated shopper. Featured architects include Giorgio Borusso Design, RTKL, Zeidler Partnership, Mellett Architects, BOORA Architects and JPRA Architects, in store designs for brands such as Nike, Miss Sixty, FILA and Habitat."--Jacket.

Designing a successful retail business depends on relationships with four groups of people: customers, shareholders, employees and suppliers. This book takes you inside those strategic relationships and shows you how to redesign your business to get them right. Don't let the humour fool you, there are ground-breaking ideas here. Highlights include a new theory of brands which shows how customer loyalty and service can be transformed. Insights into supply chain structure reveal a path to a new level of excellence. Job satisfaction is also given a complete overhaul for the new century. In each case the solution seems paradoxical - by finding a way to let the human element back into strategy we can actually increase its objectivity and extend its reach. Combining hardcore retail experience with state of the art theory and a steady flow of humour, this is the retail strategy book you've been waiting for. It's infectiously readable, relentlessly illuminating and irreverently funny - it's also the key to successful retail.

"Retail Therapy" refers to the act of going on a shopping spree to alleviate negative mood. It is a consumption behavior that is engaged in to cope with stress or depression, caused by some negative event that a person is either unwilling to or unable to tackle directly. Consequently, she (/he) uses shopping or buying as an indirect means to reduce the tension and feel relaxed. Shopping activity works as a coping mechanism that generates happiness in short-run, and enhances psychological well-being in the long-run. Different types of therapeutic benefits offered by shopping include- distraction, escape, indulgence, relaxation, sensory stimulation, social connection etc. As per the existing literature and based on the survey reports of various expert agencies' websites (e.g. ebates.com, dendyneville.co.uk, addictionexperts.co.uk, creditkarma.com, etc.), it has been found that the usage of shopping for therapeutic reasons is more common in western countries like U.S. and U.K. This is mainly because of the developed retail market in these countries, which offers wider product choice to shoppers as well as gives them an entertaining and pleasurable shopping environment. However, the adoption of retail therapy in less developed or developing countries, has so far, not been much acknowledged. The research in this field has also been limited in these countries. This book is based on a study that has been an effort in this direction. It has advanced the knowledge regarding usage of retail therapy among shoppers in India, which is a country with a different kind of retail environment and cultural background as compared to the developed countries. Another important observation, based on the previous literature, has been that women engage more in retail therapy as compared to men. They feel an emotional connection with shopping and believe that shopping can help them in overcoming any kind of stress that they experience in their day-to-day. Following this, the present research has also been focused on women shoppers only. The study begins with a general understanding of the usage of shopping as a coping mechanism by the Indian women and then further determines different factors that encourage the adoption of such behavior. The specific focus has been on one's personal characteristics that can help predict indulgence in retail therapy. Apart from this, the therapy shopping trip behavior of those women, who actually engage in retail therapy, has also been examined. This book deals with the following topics: 1. Exploring different types of coping strategies/activities adopted by Indian women to overcome negative mood (with special focus on determining the usage of shopping for coping). 2. Analyzing the retail therapy behavior of women. 3. Assessing the influential impact of personal characteristics on retail therapy behavior of women. 4. Analyzing the retail therapy trip behavior of women therapy shoppers.
