Retail marketing in Japan

Service is alive and well in Japanese department stores, where merchandise is impeccably displayed and priced to reflect the special attention. Behind the scenes, a lot is going on. For example:

• Customers of the Seibu department store in Japan can use their cell phones to check the store's fashion and beauty news, as you can see here.
• Shoppers have lots of payment options at Takashimaya, one of the leading department stores.
• Directions on how to use Mitsukoshi's digital catalogue, which is filled with thousands of items for men, women, children, and home.
• Read the blog from Hankyu department store here.
• At Sogo department store, the information desk staffers really do provide multilingual service with a smile.
  
• Finally, Isetan extends a warm welcome to foreign shoppers here.
