Top Stories of 2010

As 2010 comes to a close, we wanted to thank you for your continued support and interest in Retail TouchPoints. 2010 was a telling year for the retail industry. The economy has begun a recovery, albeit a slow one. Mobile and social channels remain front and center, as new applications and technologies emerged to empower customers and give retailers an additional touch point through which to engage loyal shoppers. Facebook storefronts came to life for stores like JCPenney and Steve Madden. To top off the year, U.S. shopping expenditures grew approximately 3.3%, close to reaching the record numbers of 2007, according to the National Retail Federation.

As always, we welcome your feedback on our content and encourage suggestions for editorial topics in 2011. In order to keep pace with the changing environment, we are committed to reporting on the latest trends, solutions and technologies to provide cutting edge content to our readers.

For the final week of 2010, we have compiled a special edition of the top 10 most-read Retail TouchPoints stories of 2010. If you’re attending NRF’s Big Show in January in New York City, we encourage you to stop by booth #3122 to meet the Retail TouchPoints team and share your feedback with us. We’re also co-hosting a unique evening networking event for retail executives at Hudson Terrace on Mon. Jan. 10. Click here to learn more and RSVP.
