The Right Retailer Strategy - Developing Both Online and Traditional Retail

According to a study by the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), the right strategy for retailers today is to support and develop both channels - online and traditional retail, Footwearnews.com writes.

For example, the halo effect leads to the fact that for every 100 dollars that a consumer spends online, he subsequently spends 131 dollars on the same brand when buying in traditional retail.
