Present and future retail success - 9 Jun 2014

Over this last week, Laine Barnard has had a look at the story of the African consumer, as well as discussed the future of sustainable retail design in Africa. Callie van der Merwe told delegates of the 4th annual SACSC Research Conference how consumer behaviour effects design decisions. Yuppiechef has been used in Frost & Sullivan's latest case study on e-commerce best practice, and Felix Erken of Junk Mail explains how local businesses can stand up to international giants in the marketplace.
