"Much has changed since the beginning of 2020. Online shopping has become an alternative for more and more consumers. Home offices also mean that fewer people on the move see the great range of products in our stores. Therefore, we have to adapt to the trends of the time, position ourselves better and communicate more digitally. Our stores and the personal advice provided by our employees are our greatest strengths. To make sure that everyone knows about this, we need to make ourselves fit for digital and social channels and also offer our products in online stores.

At the same time, consumers also need new experiences in the stores. That's a lot of challenges to be met at once. To ensure that we are all best equipped for precisely these tasks, we have implemented this transformation process together with the creative industries in these challenging times. The guide is intended to capture these impulses and make them available and implementable in the textile trade.

All the best and good luck!"
