Store Innovation Lab
Helping retailers innovate
With the growth of e-commerce and changing customer behavior, the retail landscape is changing. An abundance of technologies are entering retail. Digital displays, interactive screens, beacons, virtual reality; all promise the retailer success. How do you determine whether these technologies offer true added value? The effects of these technologies on customer behavior are largely unknown.
The Store Innovation Lab tests the effects of innovative retail technologies on consumer behavior. Researchers work together with retailers, suppliers of in-store technology, students and lecturers of the Amsterdam University of Applied Science to perform practice-based research. With the insights gained we help physical stores to remain attractive and competitive.
