Does the Bell toll for the High Street Business?

The High Street as we know it is fast disappearing. Where are the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, the grocer, the newspaper shop and the hardware store? Are we ever going to see the return of the High Street filled with shops and businesses or is it gone for ever?

How about combining brick & mortar customer service with social media activities?

Hi Anne,

A wonderfully informative post, I know there are some that will be happy never to have to walk the streets to the various high street shops, happy to wander in the comfort of a shopping mall with easy parking.

And for some, nothing gives them greater pleasure than to "go shopping" incorporating the coffee shops, bistros, butchers, market etc.

Not one size fits all, but to assume one kind of shopping will completely die out has lost confidence in many shop owners.

Shop owners need to look FOR opportunities, and be pro-active. In terms of online - there is a lot they can do to interact with their customers, to draw them in off-line and on-street :)
