Hello and welcome to the July/August issue of Tomorrow’s Retail Floors.
At home, out and about and at work, technology is everywhere we turn these days. It’s so easy to sit and scroll away the hours but, with so many applications and devices available, are we utilising technology to the best of its ability? As a retailer, you will no doubt feel the increasing pressures of the modern marketplace and it can be difficult to keep up with the major players and know which products are worth investing in to help you do so. With this being said, we’ve been exploring the best gadgets and software out there for retailers. From organisational cloud-based applications to make your daily operations easier, right through to interactive POS displays to attract tech-savvy customers, our Technology feature section is bursting with ideas and advice from experts in this field.
One place where you’re bound to see the latest advances and launches in residential flooring and retail technology is the annual Flooring Show in Harrogate. Once again, the year has flown by and it is only a matter of weeks until thousands of eager visitors will flood through the doors of the Harrogate Convention Centre for this much-loved industry event. If you’re wondering who and what will be there this year, check out our Flooring Show Preview section for an extensive run-down of information and top exhibitor picks.
Also in the issue, we’re focusing on the latest updates in vinyl and LVT, as well as the do’s and don’ts of bathroom flooring.
Happy reading!
