Retail update: Holland & Barrett eyes beacon potential; Reebok’s underdog strategy; John Lewis’ French faux-pas; Ucas’ student and e-commerce research
In this week’s Retail Update we take a look at Holland & Barrett’s concept store; delve into the strategy helping Reebok assert itself in the “championship final” of sports brands; analyse how John Lewis has handled itself in the wake of its chief executive’s comments (and why we hope the media storm won’t send the retailer back into its PR-wary cave); and new research from Ucas which reports on how students shop online.
