In-store customer experience: much more than a simple purchase, it’s a genuine relationship of trust.

In a world where technology is evolving at lightning speed, the in-store experience remains a decisive moment for our customers. It’s not just about products, but about trust, support, and personalisation.

Stores are no longer just points of sale: they are spaces where innovation and proximity meet. The integration of smart solutions, AI, and teams trained to understand customer habits makes all the difference.

I had the pleasure of spending time in-store with the CPM France teams—thank you to Sabrina Negly and Benoit Candela, your work is essential for the customer experience!

This visit took place at the Fnac in Grenoble—a big thank you to Stephane Dussuyer for the warm welcome and our discussion on how we can do even better to improve the in-store customer experience.

HP France Cedric Coutat, President & Directeur General
