81% of consumers say they’ll make at least one purchase from a direct-to-consumer brand within the next five years. Major brands in this space including Warby Parker, Casper, and Peloton are launching brick-and-mortar experiences, giving brands the opportunity to engage with new audiences. But with convenience, seamless interfaces, and shipping ease, why would these businesses with so much online success want to break into brick-and-mortar?
The majority (82%) of shoppers still want to view and touch products before committing to them online, and 49% cited not being able to touch, feel, or try a product is one of their least favorite aspects of online shopping. Some brands are addressing this with dedicated brick-and-mortar stores, while others are putting on special events in membership based retailers or pop-up shops. This provides new complications for these digitally native businesses.
Investing in an omnichannel approach allows businesses to meet consumers at every point in the customer journey, which is critical in the retail vertical. After receiving mass acclaim in their online model, a brick-and-mortar presence is a very logical next step. Companies looking to create or scale their own retail presence will need everything from site selection, inventory management, staffing and training costs, property taxes, leasing, and more.
