Contemporary Retail Trends Exhibition

Final year Retail Marketing and Retail Management BA(Hons) students took part in a Contemporary Retail Trends Exhibition in January as part of their assesment.

The student’s exhibits were based on their own research in a chosen area of retail. The exhibition introduced some novel and innovative ideas in the retail sector including:

• organic retailing
• the impact of technology on the future of retail sector
• pop-up retail outlets
• contemporary trends in food trucks
• electronic word-of-mouth and
• vloggers

The exhibition was attended by members of the public as well as students from other disciplines and staff members. The ambience and creative exhibition skills were highly appreciated by all the visitors.

Taking part in exhibitions is an important aspect of the University of Brighton’s retail courses as student Dylan Alcock confirmed: “The exhibition provided us with an outlet to express our knowledge and experience on the subject in an enjoyable and practical way.”
