Designing an in-store retail experience that’s truly memorable is the goal of the most successful retailers. In this episode, we chat with Sam Gean, the marketing director of the Japanese goods retailer Rikumo in Center City. Walking through the store is a multi-sensorial journey that invites discovery — but they don’t stop there. Rikumo’s workshops and digital efforts are prime examples of how to extend those experiences in inventive ways.

• How Rikumo conceived its store as a product showcase
• A deep dive into the design of the store, which deliberately touches on all the senses from the
store aroma to the complimentary tea tastings
• Rikumo’s workshops and events allow customers to experience the retailer’s philosophy and
design values in new ways
• How to maintain your brand identity in partnerships and other opportunities
• Examples of the retailer’s techniques to creating compelling storytelling, including on social
media
• Why Rikumo designed a Philadelphia city guide
• Experiences as the No. 1 factor most important to brands and retailers
• Tech’s near-future role in retail and what consumers will gain
• How Rikumo leverages digital strategies from its online store to its social media to amplify and
extend its retail experience
• The importance of offering diverse digital and high-quality content
• Consumer trends in lifestyle to heed
