耐克未来倾向线上线下结合销售!新功能太亲民了...
For something that ends with something so pleasant, shoe shopping can sometimes seem like the worst kind of work: concern that a shop won't have your size, asking to find out if they do and try it on, only to discover that size doesn't fit and being forced to trudge back ashamed and ask for a different size, before being forced to wait all over again as you try and check out. Nike, it turns out, wants to put a stop to that kind of shopping just as much as you do. And with its latest additions to its app, it appears to have succeeded. The company is just one of a range of firms betting that the future of retail looks a little like its past, and that traditional shops aren't being killed by technology but enhanced by it. The company's new update – known as Nike App At Retail, and newly launched at its London Store right on Oxford Circus – allows you to shop right from the app, choosing your size and style and having it checked out seamlessly. Which sounds just as straightforward as buying online, except it comes with all the experience of actually heading to the shop. The changes are intended as a way of bringing the best of the shopping experience into the app, and vice versa. In short, it works like a combination of the two: you can order and request clothes in the app, but try them in the store, and then check out with none of the stress but taking your new purchases (and the all-important bag) straight out of the store. If you want to try on some shoes, say, just grab them from the wall, open the Nike app and scan the barcode inside, letting you choose what size. If they don't fit, ask again – they'll come within minutes, and you can order them to any part of the shop you like. If you do want them, just take them up to any of Nike's store staff and they'll let you buy them on your phone. |
