This is the latest installment of the Big-Box Briefing, a weekly Modern Retail+ column about the strategies of major retailers. More from the series →
Here at Modern Retail, we like to say that we cover the transformation of the retail industry with honesty and authority. And if you want to understand how the retail industry is changing, you first need to understand how some of the industry’s biggest companies like Walmart, Target and Best Buy are shifting their business models.
These days, being a successful retailer involves more than just carrying the right product at the right price. Today’s top retailers are now tasked with finding new ways of monetizing their existing audiences, like through marketplaces or advertising businesses. They have to navigate near-term challenges, like inflation, while also preparing for future shifts in shopping behavior.
That’s why, starting today, we’re launching a new weekly briefing for Modern Retail+ subscribers called the Big-Box Briefing. Helmed by reporter Mitchell Parton, the Big-Box Briefing will be delivered exclusively to the inboxes of Modern Retail+ subscribers on Thursday morning at 10 a.m. ET. The Big-Box Briefing will replace our Marketplace Briefing.
