Insider is seeking nominations for the top innovators revolutionizing the in-store shopping experience
- Insider is putting together a power players list of the top innovators in physical retail.
- Nominees should have a profound impact on the in-store shopping experience.
With stores closed and shoppers stuck at home, e-commerce saw a pandemic-fueled boom in 2020 and 2021. But as vaccinations became widely available and state lockdowns lifted, Americans showed an unprecedented enthusiasm for shopping in physical stores again.
Suddenly, retailers that had doubled down on digital needed to also think about their brick-and-mortar experience. As a result, consumers are now interacting with a retail experience that is considerably different than the one they remember prior to the pandemic.
Whether they're buying online and picking up in-store, attending a brand event in-store, or using retail apps to navigate aisles more easily, shoppers have more choices at their fingertips than ever before.
Insider is putting together a list of power players shaping the future of brick-and-mortar retail, and we want to hear from you. We welcome all nominations, from C-Suiters and rising stars at prominent brands to leaders at startups disrupting the sector.
Methodology
The brick-and-mortar power players list will be based on multiple factors, including how an individual's technology or ideas have impacted physical retail and the in-store shopping experience.
Insider will determine the final list through our reporting. Honorees will be contacted by members of Insider's retail desk after the nomination process has closed.
Submit your nominations via this form by September 2 at 9 p.m ET.
