3. Innovation to Watch: AR/VR 

Computer generated reality (VR) and expanded reality (AR) have for quite some time been related with the gaming scene or potentially with high-spending Hollywood films. Retailers and advertisers that see AR and VR simply as enticing tricks are extraordinarily thinking little of the capability of these innovations. VR can be utilized to draw in and energize crowds, manufacture brand mindfulness, and drive item disclosure and buy. 

Envision allowing customers the chance to peruse items through virtual garments racks and showrooms, and afterward giving them a similar involvement in the item before driving them to a buy. While it might be five years to 10 years before we see it utilized at scale, VR advancements guarantee to be an incredible weapon in the retail advertiser's arms stockpile. 

The Gap has just tried different things with VR as a virtual DressingRoom application that customers can use to take a stab at garments essentially before purchasing. Instagram likewise propelled Stories for a couple of records to explore different avenues regarding VR and AR shopping, communicate with the garments, and give them a shot. Hope to see more investigations with AR and VR in 2020. 

4. Pattern to Watch: Social Commerce 

I'm persuaded that 2020 could be the year that social business takes off as an ever increasing number of clients make buys legitimately from internet based life stages as opposed to making a beeline for a shopping webpage's application or online store subsequent to finding an item via web-based networking media. As per our information, shopping-related substance is quickly multiplying via web-based networking media. Furthermore, stages are reacting by including more online business highlights. 

Instagram as of now propelled Instagram Shopping for chosen brands, giving organizations a vivid customer facing facade for individuals to find and investigate items just as a connection for buys. Facebook's group of uses effectively offer devices for client care and network the executives with the goal that all advertising channel movement — from item disclosure to post-buy client care and evangelism — can occur via web-based networking media. Furthermore, TikTok as of late opened the entryway to social trade with beta tests that let influencers insert social business connects in recordings on the application. 

There has never been an all the more fascinating or provoking time to be a retailer. Those that grasp internet based life and aren't hesitant to try different things with new stages and advancements are the ones destined to remain in front of patterns and drive their business forward.
