I will discuss the significance of AI in the retail industry, it has the potential to assist in tasks like brainstorming, content generation, and marketing strategy. Retailers should learn to embrace emerging platforms like TikTok because of its powerful local algorithm and the organic reach it can provide to shops. Retailers also need to consider creating memorable in-store experiences and meaningful, story-driven content for their customers. While social media might not be for everyone.

If social media is not something you want to invest in, I encourage you to make a commitment to a marketing platform and focus on connecting with customers. This will be crucial for success in retail.
