In this week’s Fast Five video, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne discuss:
– Using BNPL at the gas station
– Instacart’s downright laughable new strategic positioning
– Red Wing Shoes smartly getting ahead of the fit tech curve
– Adidas giving Nike a lesson in long-tail marketplace influencer commerce
– And close with a “good on ya” to Kath McLay at Sam’s Club for suing BJ’s and protecting the hell out of her scan-and-go turf
There’s all that, plus pre-pubescent childhood video game memories, P-Funks, and the vagaries of feed bagging Skittles.
