Are you and your teams ready for a fast start in 2025?

Here are 5 key trends we are likely to face into in 2025:

• Hybrid shopping: Customers value both physical and digital shopping experiences, so retailers should create omnichannel experiences that are smooth and connected.
• On Demand Delivery: Retailers will be focusing on speed and convenience, from quick checkout to expedited delivery.
• Sustainability: Retailers are moving sustainability from a nice-to-have initiative to a core business driver. This includes tracking carbon footprints, offering climate-impact scores, and creating circular economy business models.
• Shopping experiences: Retailers are focusing on immersive and interactive ways to shop, such as product demonstrations, in-store events, and workshops.
• Private label products: Private label products continue to be popular presenting challenges for brands and category profitability.

In addition to adapting to these trends recent legislation has added further challenges to retailer profitability with the increase in National Insurance and the burden of funding EPR initiatives. All of this will present challenges and opportunities for your customer relationships.

Are your teams prepared to optimise on these opportunities? Customer teams, need to have a blend of skills and great training to deliver in 2025.

• Are you and your teams ready for the challenge?
• Do they have the necessary capability to deliver your 2025 business objectives?

One of the key drivers to employee engagement and performance is whether they feel they have the necessary skills and confidence to thrive in this fast-changing environment.
