Systematic Weaknesses Across the Industry
Loyalty programs, re-engagement flows, and post-purchase experience lag behind other retail sectors.
Most stores are invisible to AI-driven search — a critical blind spot as LLM-powered discovery grows.
Email capture, social proof, and promotional strategy are underdeveloped across all regions.
Inconsistent compliance and trust signals undermine conversion and expose brands to regulatory risk.
