IntroducingtheFour-QuadrantDisruptorsFramework

This week, we introduced our new conceptregardingopportunitiesintheretailindustry:theFour-Quadrant Disruptors Framework. Thismodel identifies four areas of opportunity forinnovative retailers and startups that serve theretailindustry,andwasformulatedasaresponseto the “retail destruction” seen in the US veryrecently,when a number ofmajor retail namesreporteddisappointingresults. In thecontextofthisquickly shifting retail landscape,we identifyfourareasofopportunity:newretailmodels,all-channel, experiential retail and customerengagement.

We summarize thesequadrants of opportunity below, anddirect readers to our full report on fbicgroup.com forcompletedetailsoftheframework,includinggreatercontextandprofilesofcompaniesoperatingwithineachspace.

NewRetail

New retail models identify “white spaces” in how consumers shop in the evolving retail world, whether that isthroughanonlinebarter community suchas reKindness,or throughamarketplace suchas Ideally that lets themnametheirownpriceforgoods.Thisquadrantalsoincludessomemorecommonemergingretailmodels,includingmarketplaces suchasEtsy, sharingeconomybusinesses suchasRent theRunwayandcaringeconomybusinessessuchasTOMS.

All-Channel

The all-channel model offers significant opportunities for retailers and startups to merge shopping channels, soconsumerscanshopseamlesslywhenandwhere theywant to.Theall-channelstartupand innovationecosystemincludes e-commerce platform solutions, “click and arrive” reordering shopping buttons, next-generation storelocationsthatbroadcastin-storeinventoryonline,andin-storesmartdisplaysdesignedtoprovideconsumerswithinformationonproducts.

ExperientialRetail

Experiential retail encompasses retailers and technology startups thatwork to repurpose existing store space tomake the shopping experience frictionless and more fun; stores thus become a natural complement to thefunctionalityofferedbyonlineshopping.Thisquadrant is importantbecause,eventhoughtheonlinechannelhasbeendrivingsignificantsalesgrowth,over90%ofUSretailsalesstilltakeplacein-store.Technologiesthatfallunderthiscategoryincludevirtualfittingrooms,self-checkoutsolutionsandaugmentedrealityapplications.

CustomerEngagement

Startupsandinnovatorsthatfitintothecustomerengagementquadrantexplorewaysinwhichretailerscanconvertconsumers tocustomersandenhance interactionswith theircustomersondifferentplatforms.Thisarea includesgamification,recommendationenginespoweredbyartificial intelligence, influencermarketingandsocialshopping“evangelizeandthrive”apps.

In short, the Four-Quadrant Disruptors Framework emphasizes the fact that retailers need to provide totalconvenience, and that theymust develop deeper connections with their customers.We see those retailers thatadoptnewretailmodelsandprovidecross-channelconvenience,improvedexperiencesandgreaterengagementasbeingwellpositionedtogainshare—andthiswilllikelybeattheexpenseofthosegeneralistretailerswhosecatchallpropositionsappeartoberesonatinglessandlesswithshoppers.
