In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne discussed:
- Why IKEA’s U.S. expansion plans highlight how asleep at the wheel Wayfair has been about physical stores
- Whether Enerbase’s pilot of Amazon One in three North Dakota stores indicates that palm payment is ready to cross the chasm of consumer adoption
- What to make of reports that advertisers are pulling back spend on Pinterest
- The stroke of merchandising genius that is Amazon Pet Day with Dolly Parton
- And closed by sending up NYC over its plans to roll out up to 20 delivery “microhubs” this year
There’s all that, plus swiping right for mayonnaise, slap chops, and just how delectable Anne would find a side of special sauce at her local McDonald’s.
