THE CLOSINGS ARE THE LATEST AND MOST VISIBLE IN A LONG SERIES OF MOVES TO TRY TO FIX THE ILLINOIS BASED RETAILER.
SEARS SAYS IT WILL NO LONGER PROP UP "MARGINALLY PERFORMING" STORES.
INSTEAD IT WILL NOW CONCENTRATE ON CASH-GENERATING STORES.

(Hilda Garcia/Customer)
("When they're going to close I gotta look for somewhere else to go to. I don't know where. But wow! I am shocked.")

Continued mobile proliferation, generational shifts, and data potential has faced brick-and-mortar retailers with making large technological investments to create a unified in-store, eCommerce, and mobile shopping experience or collapse under pressure from emerging retailers and customer expectation. Sears Holdings has yet to fully take the leap, likely considering financial volatility, despite their mission to realign as a customer-centric organization. Sears Holdings will need to make a heavy technological investment to accommodate an Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. Consumer Behavioral Analytics can then provide insight into customer preferences and offer context to in-store traffic patterns that will inform strategy and provide a personalized, poignant customer experience. Leveraging this diverse, interconnected ecosystem will provide end-to-end visibility over all channels, encourage cross-channel activations, and optimize marketing efforts. A clear understanding of customers’ expectations and behaviors is required to fully inform the internal realignment strategy for backend operations and resources. Customer service functions will be operationally integrated into one call center end-to-end service chain visibility across consumer channels. Further user experience innovations can be thoroughly introduced after technological infrastructure is laid and organizational restructuring is complete. Sears Holdings will create virtual reality and augmented reality retailtainment offerings through mobile apps and in-store engagement. This will bring the retail circle full cycle by offering in-store experiences remotely and virtual experiences in-store, creating a cohesive smart retail environment.
