  BURLINGAME, Calif. — Within the next eight years, retailers will face a rash of Web-based competitors "that will be pretty capable," Tom Rubel, president of TNS Retail Forward, Columbus, Ohio, said yesterday at "Retailing 2015: New Frontiers," a conference sponsored by his company.That new competition will require retailers to develop a multi-channel strategy "that encompasses new ways to reach consumers in-store, including a significant amount of infrastructure for in-store media.In the future, shopping will be a more immersive experience with a greater level of accountability."For suppliers, the next eight years will be all about viability, Rubel said — "the ability to see if your programs are being executed at store level, with fewer out-of-stocks because they will have a better idea of what consumers want combined with the ability to do more on a virtual basis."

  Tom Rubel, who heads consultant Retail Forward in Columbus, Ohio, said Scott was marking a new start for Wal-Mart after recognizing that being green was good both for the environment and for business."I do think that this is a departure.This is sort of vintage Wal-Mart.They have listened, and learned, and now they have set a course and they've established some aggressive goals and now they're going to go after it very aggressively," Rubel said.

  "I doubt the aggregate gross margin on those 24 items is going to dictate Wal-Mart's earnings next quarter," says Tom Rubel, CEO of consultancy Retail Forward.Still, if the products are right and the discounts steep enough, he expects Wal-Mart will succeed in luring back shoppers."Promotions are clearly driving traffic," says Rubel.
