The difficulties faced by retailers today – the worsening economic situation locally and abroad, the local political instability, the threat of food crisis, skyrocketing fuel prices and high inflation, are forcing consumers to prioritize spending and are pushing retailers to reinvent themselves to safeguard their “share of the wallet.” Given the situation, only retailers who engage actively in coming up with innovative products and services, who believe in giving its customers the best notwithstanding the difficulties, have the greater chance of securing the viability of their businesses and winning in this highly-competitive industry.
