VIDEO: Retail Experts on Making Brick-and-Mortar Competitive

‘When you look at some of the best retailers, they’re looking beyond the point of sale and making sure they have the product, which is critical, but also ‘how do you elevate this experience? How do you make it shareable? How do you put it on social media? How do you make this a place they want to come back to with frequency?’ “

That’s Corey Conrad, SVP leasing and brand partnerships with Caruso, on the key factors that help to make brick-and-mortar retail competitive in the post-pandemic environment. Conrad provided his insights as part of Connect Retail West 2024, held in Los Angeles earlier this month.

In the highlights video below, you’ll also hear from Darren Pitts, EVP with Velocity Retail; Don MacLellan, managing principal with Faris Lee Investments; Todd Nathanson, founder and president of illi Commercial Real Estate; and Quincy Allen, co-founder and managing partner, Arc Capital Partners. These experts weigh in on subjects ranging from the leasing environment to the cost of capital.
