The Home Improvement and DIY industry is facing numerous challenges due to fundamental transformations in its environment. Moreover, the pandemic will continue to have a tremendous impact on the future of the Home Improvement store internationally.
Thierry Coeman, author of the essay "Hammertime. Reshaping the Home Improvement store", delivers a framework which retailers and suppliers may consider to reshape the future Home Improvement store, whilst taking into account the societal evolutions and trends regarding consumers' behaviour.Hammertime is a metaphor comparing the current situation in the Home Improvement universe to the critical moment in an auction when decisions must be made. A myriad of changes must be considered urgently in order to answer latent needs.
In his essay, Thierry Coeman analyses in seven concise sections the causalities which together require a renewed business model, entirely focused on service patterns. The pathway to the future is symbolised by the anagram SMILED: Share, Meet, Interact, Learn, Enjoy, Discover which together create reinvigorating dynamics for a reshaped store environment in Home Improvement.
The essay immediately drew the attention of acknowledged academics and captains of retail operating in the Home Improvement universe and is presented as a thinktank and frame of mind to enable all stakeholders to activate their tailor-made plan.
"Hammertime" is edited by the author and available for 25 EUR, all costs included, on request via www.daehne.com/hammertime, in hard copy and in a PDF version.
