How Kidbox is Redefining the Retail Experience for Kids
Children's clothing is known for having a short shelf life. But Kidbox, a sort of "Stitch Fix for Kids", says it's got a solution.
CEO Miki Berardelli says her company allows parents to purchase up to 5 boxes a year, curating each delivery for the appropriate season or occasion.
Berardelli says that not only does the company cater to the specific needs of kids, but buying a Kidbox also serves as a good cause. The company donates outfits for children in need with every purchase made.
Berardelli, who's also the chief marketing officer at the National Retail Federation and was previously the CMO of Tory Burch, discussed the state of retail and the consumer's transition from in-person to online shopping.
While she believes brick-and-mortar retail stores will always be important, stores need to focus on making shopping more experiential in order to lure in customers.
Kidbox provides that new experience, Berardelli says. The company uses "every front door of every household as the new face of retail."

American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
