Is brick-and-mortar retail dead?

core/paragraph

As the head of T-Mobile’s Consumer business, and more important, someone who has worked both inside stores and in support of them for nearly my entire career, I am often asked what the role of brick-and-mortar shopping will be in the future, including if there is one at all. As online shopping has become increasingly popular over the past decade or so, it seems to be a continual point of discussion. T-Mobile’s CEO Mike Sievert (then COO) even talked about it in a social post in 2017 called <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/long-live-store-mike-sievert/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Long Live the Store</a>. And here we are today, continuing to contemplate it! One thing I’ve learned during nearly 30 years of working in retail, is that change is constant. Large department stores. Smaller footprint stores. Pop-ups. Online shopping. In-store experiences. Curbside pickups. Doorstep drop-offs. We’re actually seeing some interesting trends emerge right now that have been brewing for some time, but likely were accelerated with the Covid-19 pandemic. In the last two years, American consumers have spent a staggering $1.7 trillion online and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2022/03/15/pandemic-digital-spend-17-trillion/?sh=11f5f7fd5035" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">e-commerce spending jumped</a> 55% as consumers looked for safe ways to shop. But as things began to improve, consumers started to once again crave in-person options. In fact, some online-only retailers like Warby Parker and Fabletics moved to opening physical stores. The <a href="https://nrf.com/blog/us-retailers-announced-many-store-openings-in-2021" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Retail Foundation reported</a> that in 2021 alone, more than 8,100 new physical retail stores opened. Today, in our post-pandemic world, no surprise, customers want to shop in multiple ways – their way! <a href="https://nielseniq.com/global/en/insights/commentary/2021/consumer-behavior-in-the-covid-recovery/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Data by NeilsenIQ </a>show that more than two-thirds of those surveyed said they have now changed the way they shop because of Covid-19. This trend is only expected to grow. Getting back to the question at hand – Is brick-and-mortar retail dead? Here’s what I think: Yes, the way we’ve known it is dead. But it’s because physical shopping is changing – yet again – and will deliver experiences that will surprise and delight customers in ways that are more innovative than ever. We’re entering a new era of retail where customers are no longer asking for more choices, they expect it. And we agree! A one-size-fits-all-approach to retail is long gone, and if we can’t offer a multi-channel, customized retail shopping experience, then we have missed the mark. Customers want us to meet them where they want us to be. That’s a good thing, because it’s our specialty here at T-Mobile. Last year we brought Total Experience to life – combining Care and Retail to eliminate customer pain points by streamlining issue resolution within geographical areas. Total Experience has given us tremendous opportunities to anticipate and solve problems more effectively. Now, we are reimagining retail holistically by redefining the experiences we offer and bringing even more flexibility to customers. One part of this includes narrowing in on four distinct brick-and-mortar store formats that will serve customers’ different needs.

core/image

• Signature stores. You may have already visited one of the few T-Mobile brand showrooms in iconic places around the country. These stores wow customers and employees with ultimate Un-carrier experiences, like exciting events and product launches. • Experience stores. These company-owned Experience stores already exist today but will evolve to deliver the latest and broadest assortment of T-Mobile products and services – within 30 minutes of most customers. Much like Signature, these stores will be staffed by our customer-obsessed Mobile Experts with expertise to handle every issue … from A to Z. Customers will also have access to complete service capabilities through our Team of Experts customer service model. Soon to be our fastest-growing format, these store openings will provide new jobs around the country. • Neighborhood stores. Customers will experience a blend of convenience and service for their everyday needs at Neighborhood stores, offering our most popular products and services. These company-owned and Authorized Retailer-operated stores will be located in large and small areas across America and will open up new job opportunities right in their communities. • Express stores. Our new Express format – branded as Metro by T-Mobile and operated by Authorized Retailers – will offer fast ways to purchase prepaid and select postpaid products. Express will also create new jobs for the entrepreneurs (who often live in the communities) operating them. Over time, we’ll create more visual distinction for customers to know what type of store they’re visiting to meet their needs.

We are also bringing retail directly to our customers in innovative ways. • Mobile stores (aka Mobile Trucks). Our mobile truck fleet will provide retail services where they’re needed – at brand launch events, in underserved rural areas to get customers up and running on the T-Mobile network as it becomes available in their area (and even before a brick-and-mortar store is open) or deployed to communities affected by disasters. • Store-in-store. We will continue to offer customers the convenience to purchase T-Mobile products and services where they already shop. Small kiosks at mass merchants and big-box retailers such as Costco, Walmart, Best Buy and elsewhere will be staffed by our T-Mobile team or trained store employees. We’ll enhance these physical offerings with many new innovative digital experiences that will integrate seamlessly into physical retail. Lastly, we can’t forget our secret weapon: our people. T-Mobile has the best team in wireless. Technology has transformed the way people shop, but we know that consumers also often want the option for human assistance and connection. When they do, Team Magenta will be ready to serve them as only we can! Completely evolving our retail approach to support customers is a multi-year process, and this is just the first step of our plan. We’ve been busy working through changes in how we’ll staff our stores, hire new talent, and invest in technology to keep modernizing our systems. We’re leaving no stone unturned, because we know if we want to achieve our mission to be the best in the world at connecting customers to their world, “good enough” won’t cut it. Looking at the road ahead, this restless, never satisfied, Un-carrier mentality will continue to fuel our customer obsession and help us become the undisputed customer experience leader. I couldn’t be more excited for where we are headed – and can’t wait to share more along the way. Let’s go!

We are reshaping retail in a digital-first world.

T-Mobile Accelerator Now Accepting Applications to Drive 5G Innovation in Sport Experiences

New research shows that checking in with your friends and family via a quick text message goes a lot further than you think.

The last time someone popped into your head and you thought, “I should really text them to check in,” did you?

Perhaps, but maybe not. We all do it. We think of someone and mean to send a “just saying hi” text, and then we forget, or maybe we wonder if such a simple text really matters with everything going on in our busy lives.

But new research suggests that texts like these do matter. A lot.

According to a recent <a href="https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/psp-pspi0000402.pdf">study</a> published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, sending a brief message or casually reaching out to someone to check in elicits greater feelings of happiness, gratitude and appreciation in the receiver than the sender had anticipated.

Over the course of a series of 13 experiments with more than 5,900 participants, researchers asked people sending a check-in text or call (not a social media interaction) how much they thought the recipient would appreciate the gesture. Then the researchers asked the recipients of these texts how much they valued the messages. The findings of all 13 experiments showed that the senders of the check-in texts greatly underestimated how valuable the messages actually were to those who received them.

Some good news: Recent data from <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com">T-Mobile</a> suggests people are continuing the upward trend of turning to texting even at holiday time: For instance, this past Thanksgiving, the wireless provider saw over 3 billion total messages sent, which was a 7% increase in volume compared with <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/holiday-psa-how-to-thank-someone-best-just-text">Thanksgiving 2021</a>. Expectations are that there will continue to be an increase in texting around holidays like Christmas and New Year’s.

It’s information that demonstrates the power of connecting with others, even in the most brief and casual way, in our daily lives. Mental health experts have touted the use of <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/warmline-mental-health-help-hotline_l_63695bfee4b05f221e7cda12">“warmlines”</a> that allow people to call or text a number when they need to vent or be comforted. And you may have come across a social media post inviting you to call a number that connects you to pre-recorded affirmations <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/03/06/1084800784/peptoc-hotline-kindergarteners">from kindergarteners</a> to give you that sometimes needed pep talk (707-873-7862). All these things simply underscore previous <a href="https://www.ajgponline.org/article/S1064-7481(21)00548-0/fulltext">research</a> that has illustrated the strong link between our wellbeing and the purpose that personal connections can give us, especially as we age. It turns out a seemingly small check-in text message can have big benefits for our mental health and sense of belonging.

So next time you’re considering sending that “just saying hi” text, don’t think twice. Hit send and deliver a little dose of happiness to the world. Happy holidays!

Recent data from T-Mobile suggests people are continuing the upward trend of turning to texting even at holiday time. And other research highlights why it's a good idea to do so.

For the gadget lovers on your holiday gift list this year, you want to give fun and unique holiday gifts that they'll really love to use (and won’t return). That’s why we’re sharing this list of our coolest unique gift ideas for tech-savvy teens, parents, coworkers and every techie friend on your list:

Link: <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/samsung-galaxy-z-fold4?sku=610214675767" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Galaxy Z Fold4</a>

When it comes to fun and most unique gift ideas, the Z Fold4 can’t be beat. Definitely not your ‘90s flip-phone, this cool gift will unfold a world of possibilities thanks to its sleek 6.2-inch cover display that unfolds to a tablet-like 7.6-inch 120Hz edge-to-edge Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity Flex screen. Multiple windows make it a great choice for multitaskers! For example, they can take notes while attending a virtual meeting, or text friends while streaming their favorite content. Hands-free selfies, photos or videos are easy with the Flex Mode Camera. Plus, it has a tough water- and scratch-resistant design they can enjoy on-the-go.

Link: <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/samsung-galaxy-z-flip4?sku=610214675828" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Galaxy Z Flip4</a>

Another ultra-cool tool, the Z Flip4 is small and compact but transforms into a large 6.7” Infinity Flex display with 120 HZ refresh rate. When they want to check notifications, send a text, play the next tune or change settings — they can do without ever unfolding the phone. Just like the Z Fold4, they can also capture moments on-the-go with the Flex Mode feature.

Link: <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/accessory/belkin-magnet-vent-mount?sku=745883846641" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Belkin Magnet Vent Mount</a>

Got an Apple lover to shop for? This smart, simple, magnetic car mount keeps their iPhone 12 (and later) at their fingertips without taking up space in the cup holder. The vent clip stays securely in place so they can easily start their go-to playlist in Portrait before heading off — and then flip to Landscape when it's time to hit the road with navigation.

Link: <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/accessory/beats-fit-pro-true-wireless-earbuds?sku=194252484296" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Beats Fit Pro True Wireless Earbuds</a>

Powerful sound and a snug, comfy fit make these noise-cancelling earbuds perfect for just about any activity, from workdays to workouts. Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) continuously optimizes sound output — and when it’s important to be aware of their surroundings — they can easily switch to Transparency mode. They’ll get instant one-touch pairing, Automatic Switching, Audio Sharing and hands-free “Hey Siri” for Apple devices. If they’re Android users, they can connect via Class 1 Bluetooth right out of the box. They come with a pocketable charging case, ear tips in three different sizes and USB-C to USB-C charging cable.

Link: <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/accessory/jbl-flip-6?sku=SUPM56357" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">JBL Flip 6</a>

For that gadget lover who’s the life of the party, this portable speaker is little in size and big on sound. Featuring a 2-way speaker system with a racetrack-shaped driver, separate tweeter and dual pumping bass radiators, they can keep the party going all night long with up to 12 hours of battery life. It’s also waterproof and dustproof, so they can take it camping, to the beach, to tailgate parties and beyond. The PartyBoost feature also allows them to link multiple compatible speakers.

Link: <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/smart-watch/timex-familyconnect" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TIMEX FamilyConnect™</a>

If someone in your family likes technology and wants to stay connected — but doesn’t need all the bells and whistles of a higher-end smartwatch — this is for them. They can make voice calls to and from the smartwatch, and send and receive texts, emojis and preset messages. Best of all, the watch can send notifications to preset contacts if it detects a fall or when they press the dedicated SOS button. Loved ones can also see the watch’s location on a map in the companion mobile app.
