9.Fashion has always bee about change----creating a reason for the customers to buy something new.The next 30years of the sale will be all about the customer's interests.And it will be up to traders to keep up with their every desire(需求)."The easiest thing to say is,it will be different,"says Nordstrom,president of one of America's oldest department stores."There still will be customers who desire a fresh new product.What that product is,how we satisfy the customers, that's open.
In many ways,this"different"world that Nordstrom describes has already existed in stores across the USA,with technology as the driving force.Think digital(数字的)fitting rooms,where technology simulates(模拟)body type and gives shoppers a sense of how a coat might look or fit.Or 3-D printers that allow shoppers to make products in their own homes.Even smartphone technology is being developed to let traders get a shopper's personal data to learn about their tastes and interests.
Stores will still have a presence,but mainly just to let customers have a sensory experience-touching and feeling items they can buy from far away and having them shipped.Where customers shop,increasingly,won't matter.A person could shop from home,from a car or even on the subway.
Intel has designed a mirror that shows shoppers how clothes look on them---avoiding the inconvenience of a fitting room.When the shopper of the future is ready to check out,a cellphone will do."The cash registers(收银机)of today won't exist anymore,"Nordstrom says."We see the future of point of sale as completely mobile,but don't expect stores filled with robots rather than salesmen."
