In today’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Video, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, Sezzle, and Silk, Anne and Chris:
- Lauded the brilliance of Shein reportedly planning to build its own marketplace.
- Had serious doubts about the staying power of Amazon’s latest TikTok-inspired social commerce play, ironically dubbed, “Inspire.”
- Found Nordstrom Rack’s plans to cut back on store-based fulfillment not the least bit surprising at all.
- Applauded Walmart for putting its weight behind visual search, while still harshly criticizing its execution of it.
- And, last but not least, pontificated about why in the world Amazon would want to kill the barcode – seriously, what did barcodes ever do to you, Amazon? Why all the angst?
There’s all that, plus Gen Z luxuries, shorn McDreamies, and how Anne plans to “spice” up her life in 2023.
