La expansión de internet y el comercio electrónico han dificultado por igual a fabricantes y minoristas enfrentar el auge de las compras on-line. De hecho, en Italia, el creciente riesgo de quedar con remanentes de stock ha animado a los comercios minoristas a exigir importantes cambios en ciertas cláusulas contractuales (tal como política de devoluciones) y el temor a negocios vacíos persuadió a las marcas a generar puntos de compromiso y empatía significativos con los consumidores. En consecuencia, los últimos años han sido testigos de una metamorfosis de la relación minoristas-grandes marcas. Más específicamente, las tiendas departamentales han apuntado a concretar acuerdos más adecuados -tales como concesiones- para llenar sus espacios vacíos asumiendo menores riesgos, permitiendo a los diseñadores a su vez poner mayor énfasis en sus tiendas insignia para transmitir la identidad de la marca y ganar porciones de mercado. Sin embargo, los locales físicos son costosos para crear y operar. La instalación y ambientación de los denominados "Corners" (o Store-in- Store) dentro de tiendas departamentales de lujo aparece como una solución para ambas partes." "Si bien es cierto que hoy en día los consumidores están expectantes por la cautivante, rápida y continua exhibición de productos de moda, también es cierto que los diseñadores y comerciantes mediante la concreción de sus acuerdos programáticos manejan realidades de mercado nuevas. Para los abogados dedicados a este sector, el reemplazo total del modelo de ventas por nuevos acuerdos alternativos significa traducir las preocupaciones de las partes en cláusulas contractuales concretas. Estos complejos acuerdos deben ser adecuadamente detallados y al mismo tiempo suficientemente flexibles." "Este artículo apunta a realizar breves comentarios sobre estos contratos utilizados para generar espacios comerciales individuales en sofisticadas tiendas departamentales multi marca de Italia. A este fin, el análisis se enfocará en las previsiones contractuales más importantes y las recientes tendencias, tal como el espacio pop-up dentro de otro local.
The diffusion of Internet and e-commerce has made it difficult for manufacturers and retailers alike to cope with the popularity of online shopping. Even in Italy, the augmented risk of being left with unsold merchandise has encouraged vendors to demand important changes to commercial arrangements (such as return policies), and the threat of empty shops has made it increasingly important for brands to create meaningful points of engagement with consumers. Consequently, recent years have witnessed a metamorphosis of the retailer-brand relationship. More specifically, department stores have looked to more suitable agreements, such as concessions, to fill their spaces with less risk, while designers might put more emphasis on flagship stores to communicate brand identity and gain market share. But brick and mortar shops are expensive to establish and operate. The inviting ambience of the so-called ‘corner’ (or the ‘shop-in-shop’) within the luxury department store appears to offer a solution for both parties. If it is true that today’s consumers expect rapidly changing, captivating displays of novel fashion products, it is also true that designers and retailers manage new market realities through a nexus of arrangements. For lawyers practicing in this sector, substituting the wholesale model with alternative agreements means translating party concerns into contractual clauses. These complex agreements must be both adequately detailed and sufficiently flexible. This article aims to briefly comment on the contracts used to create single-brand shops within sophisticated multi-brand department stores in Italy. To this end, the discussion will focus on the most significant contractual provisions and latest trends, such as the pop-up shop-in-shop.
