Home & Gift organiser unveils first issue of new resource for retailers
Ahead of Home & Gift’s opening in Harrogate next week organiser Clarion Retail has announced the launch of its own Retail Revealed guide as a resource for retailers.
As the countdown to the summer buying festival speeds up, with Home & Gift taking place over Sunday to Wednesday, 16-19 July, in the grounds of the DoubleTree By Hilton Harrogate and in the Harrogate Convention Centre, the new guide has been unveiled aimed at providing an all-encompassing guide to the world of retail, offering insights and analysis for professionals and enthusiasts.
“Retail Revealed is a comprehensive resource that delves into the diverse aspects of the retail landscape, offering readers in-depth exploration of the latest trends, strategies, and innovations in the industry,” explained Clarion Retail’s portfolio director Zoë Bonser.
“From traditional bricks-and-mortar stores to ecommerce giants, the guide covers a wide range of topics that are vital for anyone involved in the retail sector.
“Across our portfolio of shows – which includes Home & Gift and Top Drawer spring and autumn – we see the increasing difficulties the retail community is facing each day, and this publication is our way of bringing the inspiration, information and connection they’ve come to rely on during our events to them when they need it most.”
Having spoken to 300-plus retail professionals ahead of publication, the inaugural issue – which can be accessed digitally here – features exclusive interviews with industry leaders such as Lucinda Westbrooke Reed, global head of marketing and digital communications for Paul Smith, as well as an in-depth case study of Stockholm-based retailer Häxan.
Readers will also discover thought-provoking articles, upcoming trends forecasted by The Better Trends Company, as well as data-driven insights that shed light on the current and future state of retail, to help businesses shape their strategy in the months ahead.
