In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, A&M’s John Clear and Kelly Carey made their maiden podcast voyage with Chris and Anne as they debated:
- Whether the FTC has a legitimate case against Amazon
- How scared Walmart and Target should be of Kroger’s new Marketplace store concept
- The value of Nike getting into resale with the launch of refurbished.nike.com
- If Best Buy Drops is merchandising genius or just a copycat gimmick
- And closed with a look at whether Albertsons new Flash delivery program heralds a new era in retailing in which consumers will be asked to pay for the value added services they crave
There’s all that, plus Irish college courses on influencing, Tom Cruise in Far And Away, and the one sitcom location we most wish was turned into a tourist location.
