Global Retail Branding And Sourcing Expert Daymon Worldwide Releases 2013 And Beyond Global Retail Trend Predictions

12.   Global Sourcing – As exposure to global cuisines and culinary traditions expand American palates, retailers and brands will identify new product sources beyond traditional business borders.

U.S. manufacturers may consider tapping into less expensive product suppliers, including those in newly emerged markets like Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and S. Africa (CIVETS).  As a result, food safety and quality issues will need to be a top priority for consumers and the retailers and suppliers who service them.

13.  Next Gen Shoppers – Major brands and retailers recognize that they are still not fully prepared to communicate with their Millennial consumers and employees. 

From transparent product authenticity and information to work-life balance and health and wellness rewards, it will be increasingly necessary to go beyond basic social media and identify what truly motivates Millennials.

"Observing trends won't be enough to make a difference," comments Daymon Worldwide CMO Andres Siefken.  "To impact profitability and secure loyalty, retailers and brands must take immediate action and respond strategically so they can actually move the dial for results."
