Today, people can satisfy their shopping needs from the comfort of their homes through their mobile device or tablet. What does that mean for retailers with brick-and-mortar stores?

I’m writing you in the middle of Black Friday weekend, because there is something you should know, and it’s this. My average customer is up 10.3% in year to date sales, and is doing it with 13% less inventory. That means that they have more cash in the bank. It means they are able to raise the capital to compete against Amazon and other internet sites, as well as any other competitors who could be trying to steal market share.
