The promising retail space of the country is soon going to witness an unprecedented growth backed by innovations in store design, VM and in-store marketing. Newer avenues at the bottomline of the retail industry will be a game changer for the sector and revolutionise consumer experiences and touch points. We are confident that the 12th edition of in-store Asia 2019 will be a milestone in this growth journey.”
