Be afraid — soon your local Starbucks, the items on your coffee table, and even the shoes on your feet will all become Amazon’s rent-free storefronts.

Be careful out there,

P.S. Thank you so much to the unnamed woman at Starbucks who helped me in my clandestine effort to shoot this low quality, ad-libbed, first-ever Omni Talk video post. She did a wonderful job, even managing to conceal my ever-growing bald spot without me asking her to.
P.P.S. I tried Amazon’s visual recognition technology on my running shoes at home too. Guess what? It worked. And, it will only continue to get better. Don’t think it is just Amazon working on this either. Wayfair has similar functionality in their app. Google is hot on this too. Look out when Google get into this game with their information catalog at their fingertips.
P.P.P.S. Please like and, even better, share this post before you go. Not only will people swoon when you become a member of the “cool people who socialize Omni Talk club,” but I will also be incredibly grateful. Sincerely grateful like I am to all of you who recommended Omni Talk to RetailDive (especially Kevin Iverson) this week. Looks like there is a good shot I will be asked to write for them in September. Stay tuned! You guys rock!
Omni Talk is the retail blog for retailers, written by retailers. Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga founded Omni Talk in 2017 and have quickly turned it into one of the fastest growing blogs in retail.
