In Conversation With Chris Parsons: Founder of Retail Rewired: Part Two

In Part 2 of our conversation with Chris Parsons, author of Retail Rewired, we go further into the structural issues limiting omnichannel success. Parsons explains how treating online, email, and in-store channels as competing entities—with their own KPIs and P&Ls—creates false failures. “We think it’s not working,” he says, “but the customer is just behaving like a human.” Today’s shoppers weave seamlessly between screens, inboxes, and physical spaces. Instead of chasing them down separate paths, Parsons says brands need to harmonize their ecosystems.

In Conversation with Chris Parsons, Founder of Retail Rewired: Part One

In Part 1 of our What’s in Store podcast, HHIQ editor Rebecca Dumais speaks with Hale’s VP of marketing, Chris Parsons, about what’s really broken in today’s hybrid retail experience. Parsons explains how online-first retailers often crave a physical presence, while legacy retailers still struggle to unify digital and in-store channels. The problem? Internal metrics and siloed thinking. Instead of designing for how customers actually shop, retailers push them into predefined funnels, missing out on flexibility, loyalty, and growth. Parsons also ties in many insights from his book Retail Rewired.
