To assume that more than half of the employees would not be employable would therefore be the most negative scenario imaginable, which does not have to happen in this way. As sad and painful as it is: the department stores' form of operation has outlived its usefulness - especially for young customers it is neither relevant nor attractive. .

So why invest in a concept that is no longer viable in the long term?

A key to success is continuous reporting and feedback from the environment. The focus must be on existing customers in the long term. The Austrian-German jeweler Renésim was founded in 2010 with headquarters in Munich. In 2016, a store was opened in downtown Munich, as stores are expensive, but nowhere near as expensive as online spending. Since then, Renésim has been living a hybrid business concept that offers customers online services via Zoom or mail in addition to store consulting. Many customers want to get information online and make the final decision in the store.
In addition to founder and CEO Georg Schmidt-Sailer and business angel Johann ""Hansi"" Hansmann, the Austrian core shareholders include Rudolf Semrad, former CEO of the Swatch Group, Alfred Ötsch, former CEO of Austrian Airlines, and others."
