Nothing has the potential to create beautiful memories or deeply hurt feelings quite like family gatherings. Family is central for many of us, but having and supporting an LGBTQ child may open your family up to situations of conflict and discomfort when it comes to family interactions.

Laura earned her master's degree in marriage and family therapy at San Diego State University with an emphasis in LGBTQ+ mental health within conservative religious social contexts. She went on to serve for two years on the board of directors of Affirmation: LGBT+ Mormons, Families, and Friends with a focus on responding to spiritual trauma and suicide prevention.

For Heather Gay, becoming a cast member on “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” was like “drawing a line in the sand” with her identity as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When she joined the Bravo show in 2019, she realized her move to quietly quit the faith would become very loud. - The New York Times Heather Gay visits John and Margi in studio and brings along a familiar face for fans of Mormon Stories and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Dre Robinson! Heather tells the story of how her memoir, Bad Mormon, came to be, the challenges she faced to write and publish it (and trademark it), her hopes for the future and what she and Dre are working on now. From the publisher: Between attending orthodox services, embarking on an eighteen-month mission, attending Brigham Young University, and marrying into a "royal" family, Heather was the definition of a "good Mormon." However, when the doting wife's husband unexpectedly filed for divorce, she was left out in the cold by her church and her community. In this funny, brash, and unbelievably vulnerable book, Bad Mormon recounts Heather's experiences as a single mother to three girls, navigating life post-divorce and post-Mormonism."

Welcome back for part two! A trip to Europe gives Kelsey a chance beyond her mission to see more of the outside world and the goodness and happiness that others have found while clearly outside of Mormonism. The trip also gives her the chance to tune in to herself and trust her intuition. Not ready to give up on her religion just yet, Kelsey returns home after the trip and ends up working with LDS Public Relations in various projects while also holding the calling of Relief Society President as she works through her active doubts. Kelsey moves back to LA and finally realizes how much of a “box” LDS doctrines & beliefs put herself in. Kelsey takes us on a journey of personal discovery as she learns who she really is & to trust her own authority, leading her to the freest and fulfilled life she's experienced thus far.

Kelsey Edwards has a unique upbringing as a child actor who was homeschooled by her Mormon parents. Driven by a desire to do what's right and excel, Kelsey develops a perfectionism that goes beyond religious adherence into body image and leads to disordered eating. Kelsey is able to recover with help from her parents, only to be thrown into another family crisis as her father succumbs to an opiate addiction after chronic back pain and leaves both the Church and the family. As many children do, Kelsey feels she shares blame for the destruction of her family and re-commits to the LDS religion for strength and comfort.  When her family moves to Provo, Utah, Mormon purity culture has costs for Kelsey's self-esteem and body image as she continues pursuing performance at high school and BYU. Kelsey's first doubts come as she serves a mission in Birmingham Alabama and grapples with the spirituality and fulfillment members of other faiths feel. Kelsey realizes belief in “eternal families” is far from unique to Mormonism but what IS unique about the Mormon version is the dark element that it's predicated on a God deliberately separating families first.Join us for the rest in Part 2!

Nearly since its founding, leaders of the LDS Church have excommunicated members for wrongdoing. In earlier times, such punishments might have lasted only weeks. Over the course of succeeding decades, this practice became more severe, constituting a wrenching removal from the community. Gaining readmittance often required intense penance and evidence of significant change stretching over a prolonged period of time. Sometimes this process even involved the leaders' colleagues. Justice and Mercy offers in-depth examinations of several high-profile case studies in church discipline, using journals and other sources close to the participants to provide candid detail. Today we interview author Gary James Bergera and Editor Bryan Buchanan. The book can be purchased here: Justice & Mercy   Mormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!

John and Scott discuss Brian Harris, a recent guest on Rameumptom Ruminations who was an employee at church headquarters in the correlation department. Brian offers us a chance to pull back the curtain and learn a little bit more about what goes on behind the scenes. How does the church gather and use data from its members? How far up the chain does that data go? What goes into the creation, revising, or scrapping of church programs?

Folge Nummer 71. Wer spricht da? Eine neue Stimme bei Andreas und Umberto! (Naja fast). Stefan hatte leider keine Hirnkapazitäten für eine Anmoderation mehr übrig, da in seinem Kopf ein kleines Äffchen ununterbrochen 2 Becken aufeinander schlagen musste. No sleep till Würzburg und straight into rabbit hole. Stefan hängt mal wieder einer Hardcoreband nach und hat sich zum Ziel gemacht jedes Video, das im Internet existiert und in dem Turnstile auftaucht, anzusehen; während Michael in seinem Rabbit Hole leicht unterversorgt den Häschen nachstellt. Vielleicht paxt ihn ja bald die Lust und er entlastet mit einem Klick auf "Bestellen" auch endlich wieder die Ikea-Server. Ähnlich penetrant ging er bisher nur der Webseite der Deutschen Kleider Stiftung auf die Nerven, denn eBay Kleinanzeigen ist der Teufel - und Faulheit die Lösung! In Michaels Boomerecke klärt er als Betroffener auf, wie man der Amazon App wieder die deutsche Sprache und die gute alte D-Mark beibringt. Die nächsten beiden Storys von Michael und Stefan sind auf jeden Fall perfekt erzählt: Nicht zu lang und sie kulminieren in einer fulminanten Pointe. Wer hier abschaltet, dem fehlt der Sinn TIMING für Comedy. Warum Michael allerdings einem warmen Apfelkuchen nachtrauert, wie er ihn zuletzt in American Pie gesehen hat, und Stefan à la Backdraft zu Feuerwehrmann Sam wird, erfahrt ihr in der neuen Folge 71 von Andreas und Umberto.

Episode 295 is a breakdown of Walmart and Target Q2 earnings, as well as the US Department of Commerce retail sales data for July. Episode 295 of the Jason & Scot show was recorded on Thursday August 18, 2022. Transcript Jason: [0:23] Welcome to the Jason and Scot show, this is episode 295 being recorded on Thursday August 18th 2022 I'm your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I'm here with your co-host Scot Wingo. Scot: [0:38] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott showed listeners Jason how you doing how you been traveling a lot lately. Jason: [0:46] I have I have it's been interesting to spend so much time at the airport's they've been quite busy lately. Scot: [0:54] Yeah yep the there's cancellations it's total chaos at airports so hopefully now that we're in back-to-school season that'll slow down a little bit. Jason: [1:03] Knock on Woods October is a busy Commerce trade show month so I'll be on the road almost of October hopefully visiting some listeners but hopefully yeah travels a little smoother hopefully I can get some better seats on the airplane I'm a little bitter at the. Scot: [1:19] Yeah you have like 20 million miles and they're putting your life back in steerage. Jason: [1:24] That's a slightly milder version of that is true. Scot: [1:29] Cool and then I guess the big question is we've got two new series kicking off are you going to do Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings or both. Jason: [1:39] I'm super excited about both I'm actually some people know I had knee surgery earlier in the year I'm actually contemplating getting the surgery on my other knee so I have an excuse just stay at home for a while a month and watch them both. Scot: [1:55] Yeah and then let's see the well ready to jump into some news. Jason: [2:02] I'm super excited to. Scot: [2:03] Cool well it wouldn't be a Jason Scott show without. Jason: [2:08] Amazon news new your margin is there opportunity. Scot: [2:21] Yes there is some Amazon news I wanted to just chat about with youth the 16th of August Amazon surprised both Wall Street and a bit and third-party sellers a lot with their first-ever peak season surge pricing for fulfillment by Amazon are commonly known as FBA so the way this is going to work is they've put out the dates October 15th through January 14th of 23 third-party sellers that you use fbar going to have a new fee and I hope you're sitting down it is 35 cents per item. [2:57] Now you may be saying to yourself Scott that's pretty small is that going to really move the needle and one of our friends of the show Colin Sebastian he actually did the math on this. So it turns out that last holiday if you look at the third party sell units sold during that period you had two point seven two two point eight billion you have a midpoint of 2.75 billion. He took that approximated in 34 so that went through yeah if ba you multiply that out and you get about 700 million dollars just drops right out of that 35 cents. So that is the power of an Amazon scale is a seemingly tiny little. Surcharge can be a big number so it's going to be interesting and you know that will be pure profit because the Amazon is not doing anything differently really. And then in the press release they basically said our expenses are reaching New Heights and it's making it harder for the company to absorb cost and they have to pass some of those on. But we still love our third-party sellers did you would you think about this video. Jason: [4:01] Yeah well I'm guessing third-party Sellers and investors didn't react exactly the same to that news. Scot: [4:07] Yes investors were happy third-party sellers it's kind of one of those things it's kind of tricky because you can't complain too much because it feels like 35 cents but you know if you're a seller selling couple of thousand items a day through F be a it's going to be material and I think, at the end of the day all this gets passed on to the consumers and that causes inflation which we're going to talk about a good bit on Today Show. Jason: [4:30] Yeah it's a, it's interesting it's kind of a mixed bag because well I feel like it is true that Amazon hasn't charged a true surge charge before the you know they change their terms and conditions all the time and that you know they'll like they'll narrow the window under which you can keep stuff in, in the warehouse before you start getting extra fees they'll make you take more stuff back they'll take less stuff and those all kind of. Have the effect of making F be a more expensive for some sellers. Well the 35 cents probably isn't a deal-breaker it is a good reminder to all these third-party sellers that your your kind of a digital sharecropper in the Amazon Echo System and what you know the two things that I think are most interesting are this kicks in in October, strong rumors that Amazon's going to try a second prime day in October so this could be insult to injury. They could be asking third-party sellers to like, load up the inventory and get ready for a second prime day and be charging them more so this actually could end up being even a little bigger than, was forecasted than Colin forecasted have. [5:44] Prime day ends up being a meaningful thing and then if you also remember earlier in the year Amazon launched check out with prime which was kind of a. First move to making fulfillment by Amazon available to non Amazon sellers or at least sellers off of the Amazon platform and so it's kind of interesting. You know shortly after they they're trying to make F be a more available there they're making it more expensive. Scot: [6:14] Yeah yeah the they've struggled with that because every time they've opened it up to people not selling on Amazon they have a surge of some kind and they have to kind of like pair that program back it's happened like four or five times it's crazy. Jason: [6:28] And the flip side is of course the other carriers you'd be shipping through the other common carriers the holiday search these are quite common so this is not not going to feel like a typical or out of line when you compare it to UPS or FedEx. Scot: [6:43] Yin haven't most of them put on a fuel surcharge already like an even though fuel is going down there. Jason: [6:47] There are there are surcharges on top of surcharges and you know some people feel like they haven't turned off the surge charges for two years. Scot: [6:55] Yeah yeah so it's hard out there in e-commerce land from a cost perspective that's for sure was there any Amazon news you found interesting. Jason: [7:03] Yeah yeah I would actually bundle two pieces of news and column two sides of the coin, the interesting Amazon test was revealed this company that monitors the Amazon App found a new feature, it appears like it's only been deployed to Amazon employees at this point, but it's basically a picture and video stream in the app so this is like the way that this is described as sort of like a tick tock like feature. Inside of the Amazon app which is interesting. Obviously in China a lot of people shop in the Chinese version of Tik-Tok which is called do Hyun. A lot of people get interested in buying products through tick-tocking us they haven't necessarily like. Checked out on Tick Tock in huge quantities yet but it's super interesting the Amazons kind of approach to social commerce, is get content creators and influencers and sellers. To create social content on Amazon's platform so I'm twitch on Amazon live and now this new Tick-Tock feature it's like Amazon's not partnering with Tick-Tock Amazon's trying to be tick-tock. [8:20] And I said two sides of the same coin because I mentioned in earlier tests Amazon did was Amazon live where they tried to take really popular, content creators that are calmer sea and entice them to create content on the Amazon platform and they're they're paying anywhere from like two to nine thousand dollars a month plus the. The affiliate commissions to get people to produce content on Amazon live and it didn't seem like content creators were super happy with those results, they weren't making a lot of money they were there was a lot of churn and now a bunch of this content creators that have moved off the platform are now organizing a boycott of Amazon, because they feel like Amazon's not treating their employees the way they would like so it just reminds everyone that like man there's this really interesting opportunity and you know side of the business around social commerce and kind of you know letting influencers and content creators into your Echo System but then the flip side is they don't always behave in the ways you you like and even more so when they're they're not on the payroll. Scot: [9:30] Yeah yeah the influencers live by the influencer die by the influencer The Tick-Tock things interesting I don't know, I think it is reading a lot into it to call it Tick Tock but you know they're definitely trying to figure out live streaming one thing we haven't talked about on the show in my world of Collectibles this Marketplace is really splashed onto the scene called whatnot and it's a whole live stream for Collectibles and you know the I think they've raised money around a three to four billion dollar valuation which would imply there gmv is pretty substantial I haven't seen any reports but it's pretty pretty interesting it's kind of an entertainment livestream like we see out of China but applied to Collectibles and I feel like that's a pretty good category for for this format because you can do these Pack openings and all these kinds of things and I've experimented with it and it's pretty neat you can, the streamers that can run auctions right in there and they can have kind of a three formats going at once they can kind of have a claim show an auction and then like a little e-commerce slider store over on the side it's a pretty interesting platform that if you're interested in Collectibles go check it out get started with collectible toys like these little Funko pops and then it's moved into it's got a vibrant sports card non-sports card and then and I've seen a lot of activity around the comics category so that's kind of an interesting new approach ahead and seen out there. Jason: [10:59] Yeah you know the whole live streaming thing is super interesting and complicated the quick Reader's Digest version. In China live streaming is super popular and it was born on the e-commerce platform so taobao live which is like kind of the equivalent of Amazon or Ebay. [11:18] Like launched a livestream video platform and they built a huge Commerce business and these influencers, the Alibaba paid like we're starting to sell like huge quantities there's this dude Austin Lee who sells lipstick Who Sold over a billion dollars in a single day, and over time in China the live streaming has moved off of the Retailer's platforms onto the social media platforms like Dao Yuan and WeChat, and so you look at China and you go oh my God live streams huge it's the future it's how all this stuff is getting sold I want to say it's like 15 or 16 percent of all e-commerce sales in China, but then here in the US has been a mixed bag there's a bunch of use cases like you just described where it works really well there's a bunch of Ed C lies streamers there's a bunch of like small retail boutiques that live stream during the pandemic to great effect. They're doing really well you know Tick-Tock which is the same companies do you know. Announced that they were delaying their live streaming feature in the US so they. You know it's not they're not rushing it to Market Instagram had a live streaming Commerce feature which they just retired last week. We've seen Walmart do some experiments in live-streaming we've seen Nordstrom do some experiments in live streaming it's not clear. The. [12:39] There's a a mass-market huge opportunity for live streaming that the Amazon live streaming Pilots haven't worked very well and so they're both like there's a bunch of niches and use cases where consumers really like it and you could see it working. But it doesn't seem like a slam dunk for any of the really big Commerce players that they just need to turn on this feature in the customers will come running so the. Lot of debate amongst my clients at the moment you know is China just ahead of the US and does everybody have to get ready for live streaming or is the u.s. going to evolve differently than China as it often does. Scot: [13:16] Yeah or like is it going to be one of those things where like we call talked about chat Commerce forever and it never really jumped jumped over you know it even though Facebook tried really hard to put Commerce and messenger and they hired the PayPal dude it just never really really translated to the US who next. Jason: [13:34] I know exactly so I yeah I'm not convinced the main way us consumers are shopping is ever likely to be live streaming but I do think it is. An important solution to particular Discovery problems in the US so I think it's part of the mix but I don't think it's that like, magic Panacea that's going to replace traditional e-commerce for example. Scot: [13:55] Yeah well I know you are tingly all over and super excited because the US Department of Commerce data came out and you have done your number crunching and I know I'm eager to hear what you learned. Jason: [14:08] Oh my God this week is like my leap year because you know US Department of Commerce data comes out every month so we always get excited about that but every three months, the e-commerce data comes out so yesterday the the retail data came out and tomorrow the e-commerce data came out and you were like a should we wait till tomorrow and do one show and I might know there's too much goodness here we need to shows one, to talk about the retail data today and then we'll do another one to talk about the e-commerce data after after that comes out. Scot: [14:38] Yeah on Wall Street I think they have a double and a triple jinx this is kind of a triple witching I don't know why they call it with you. Jason: [14:45] I do yeah so July retail sales were up 8.2% versus 2021. So that's very healthy robust growth. We've been talking about such big growth and with all these anomalies going on that like we've gone kind of used to it but just a reminder normal retail growth year over year, for the last 30 years the median growth is 4.5% so 8.2% is almost twice as good as you'd. And even more to the point year-to-date growth so January through June growth retail is up 8.9% so wit early twice what you would normally expect. So that is super exciting the. Wrinkle here is our friend inflation like every time I talk about this huge growth. A bunch of people chime in and go yeah but it's all inflation and for the last two years that we've had this enormous growth because of the pandemic and changes in purchase patterns all the economic stimulus all that stuff. I keep looking at inflation and inflation is a small part of the growth but not a meaningful part and so I have to keep telling people yeah information is in there but it's not a huge deal well that changes this year, so I mentioned year-to-date growth for this year's 8.9% if you adjust for inflation your today growth is 0.5%. [16:13] So that basically means all the growth we're getting in 2022 so far is directly a result of inflation and that's super interesting because, 20:21 was like the biggest year of retail growth in my lifetime and I jokingly told a lot of my friends and clients you know they should think about retiring because comping against that. 20:21 is gonna suck and then so far this year we've been comping quite well but it turns out the reason we're comping well is not because, consumer spending is like super robust and continuing but rather inflation has kind of filled in where that, that consumer momentum is starting to wane so that is a big story that we need to watch for the rest of the year. Again the actual. [17:04] Hyper actor e-commerce. Broad version of e-commerce called non store sales so for July they were up 18 percent versus last year. The year-to-date there up about 12%, I'll be really interested to see what the quarterly number is tomorrow you know in kind of Q4 of last year there was all this exuberant some for spending in retail stores and e-commerce continued to grow, but it's rate of growth slowed down a lot so for one of the you know only times in my lifetime. Brick-and-mortar retail grew faster than e-commerce and I have a feeling that we're going to see Q2 of next year that's Q 2 of this year tomorrow that that's not going to be the case that we're gonna returning to the normal trend of e-commerce growing. Meaningfully faster than brick and mortar. Scot: [18:01] We're not going to no till tomorrow I can't wait all-nighter. Jason: [18:05] I will give you one other thing to tease based on the q1 data which came out three months ago we've seen that q1 data show up in a bunch of earnings calls and the most famous one is Shopify right so Shopify, right before their earnings call they laid off like 10% of their Workforce and they said like. Man you know there was all this e-commerce growth during the pandemic we hired all these people we got ready for all this stuff and then the e-commerce growth regressed to the mean. Which toy surprised us we thought it would be more persistent and so we've got to lay off a bunch of people and cut a bunch of cops and they show this, this famous graph of the quarterly e-commerce data showing this big spike the last couple months and it kind of Dipping back down to the trendline. And I see that graph everywhere and the one thing I like to remind people about is regressing to the mean doesn't mean e-commerce. Didn't grow it meant e-commerce grew as fast as it used to be growing which is quite fast so, well Shopify weight off 10% of their people like I was screaming in the background e-commerce has grown 61% from 2022 2022 and it added four hundred and twelve billion dollars a year in space it's not like it's not like there's not a ton of growth there it's just the growth that we're used to seeing. So it'll be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. Scot: [19:33] Yeah seems like a lot of the the inflation is really starting to Ripple through at this point and we've seen that show up at some retailers but it's interesting to see it can work into the day-to-day with your. Jason: [19:45] I know that that brings up a good point like we have several omni-channel retailers that reported earnings this this week and it's a really mixed bag about. The the. Inflation indicators in their earnings calls and you know probably the biggest one is Walmart reported earnings two days ago and people economists watch Walmart's earnings reports really closely in a challenging economic time because. They're kind of the Bellwether for the American Consumer right like that they have the biggest chunk of consumer spending and they kind of as Walmart goes like the American economy goes so. The as a reminder about a week before their earnings they low they significantly lowered their their earnings guidance for the rest of the year, they said that they expect that that they expected their profitability to be considerably lower than they had previously. [20:40] Giving guidance there earlier guidance was like zero to one percent growth. And they reduced it to they think earnings are going to be 11 to 13 percent lower this year than they were last year. Um so fast forward a week, to their earnings and everyone was kind of braced for it being kind of a brutal quarter and it was a beat beat reiterate like, they beat their earnings Target they beat the revenue Target and they stuck with their guidance that earnings are going to be a lot lower the second half of the year but. Investors actually took that as good news they actually expected that that Walmart might have a miss and so the fact that. Q2 sales and Q2 earnings were reasonably robust at Walmart was kind of positive news and to kind of put that in perspective. U.s. comp retail sales for Walmart last quarter grew 6.5 percent so again normal retail growth is 4.5% so 6.5 is good e-commerce grew 12% and you can compare that with, Amazon e-commerce grew seven percent the same quarter so obviously Walmart's a lot smaller than Amazon but they're the second largest e-commerce site, in the US and they're they're drilling meaningfully faster than Amazon which is impressive they did. You know we made a big deal about Amazon is breaking out their ad sales. [22:04] Walmart didn't quite go that far they said that their ad sales which is called Walmart connect grew 30% which is. [22:12] I'm not faster rate of growth and Amazon's ad sales are growing Amazon's growing about 18% Walmart is growing at 30 but they didn't tell us what the base was and and you know it's certainly a way smaller base than Amazon so I'm not sure. That growth on the much smaller base is huge news but it was interesting to see them talking about it Doug mcmillon and the CFO both John rainy both made. You know a big deal about Walmart connecting being a big part the CFO joked about not being used to businesses with this kind of crazy margins before and. Doug actually talked a lot about how Walmart connect is gaining huge traction internationally so they're they're able to sell the ads in in India and China and some of the other other markets that they plan. Scot: [23:00] They were getting a lot of like why surface it now I don't understand the so Amazon started revealing it because they've had to like the SEC said this has become a material part of your business you have to unpack it a bit but this seems like they, decided to do any Mini. Jason: [23:17] Yeah I think just because it's a good number 30 percent growth sounds like a good number. And it's a yeah when when most of your news is about your earnings really being challenged talking about a super high margin part of your business. Growing really fast I feel like just reflects well right like I'm not I'm not confident we're going to see them report that number every quarter by the way. Yeah so we'll have to see how that goes but like to kind of, summarize why they're saying profits are likely to be much lower for the full 2022 essentially what Walmart is saying is they are seeing consumers change Behavior because of the recession, and one of the big ways is they're seeing consumers still spend a lot with Walmart but they're shifting from. [24:06] Wants to needs so they're buying a lot less clothes and consumer electronics and a lot more food, and the food in the essentials that Walmart sells are much lower margin, then the home and apparel categories that they're selling less of so the mix it Walmart is changing. Um which is hurting their profitability but not necessarily their income, and in fact they called out 11 funny anomaly of the income is in this High inflationary time, a lot more High income consumer start shopping at Walmart so people that make over a hundred thousand dollars a year spend more at Walmart in a tough economy than they do in a, really bullish economy and so they feel like they captured extra customers because of that that would have shop somewhere else but they're buying this alone margin stuff, and John rainy the CFO he specifically talked about how they're seeing consumers make different purchase decisions that there. [25:12] He called it a pronounced customer shift that people are trading down and he gave the specific example that we're selling a lot less deli meats were selling a lot less beef and instead we're selling a lot more hot dogs chicken and tuna, and that you know even vegetable based proteins like beans are starting to sell a lot better in those are all signs of, you know distress consumer that's trying to make their food budget go further every week. [25:39] So I would call that a mixed bag I feel like investors were thrilled that their earnings call wasn't worse but you know. I don't I don't feel like people saw Walmart's earnings and said oh my gosh we're out of the woods on the economy and things are going to be great for the second half of the year. Scot: [25:57] Yeah. Jason: [25:58] So then we move to Target and and Target was kind of a Miss meat, maintain right they miss their earnings pretty meaningfully so they the guy their expectation when 72 cents a share they came in at 39 cents a share so that's a big, drop it's actually 90% less profit than they made this quarter last year, so a huge drop in profitability they exactly hit the revenue Target which was 26 billion and their guidance kind of stayed the same that they're expecting to grow. Kind of in there two to four percent, um growth rate which would be a typical year and they're expecting six percent margins which would be significantly up from the 1.2 percent margins they got this quarter. [26:50] Digital for them was up nine percent which is a lot slower growth rate than than Walmart and slower even than Amazon even though targets a lot smaller than then Amazon. But what is interesting is. Target basically talked about not seeing any inflationary changes to consumer spending they did not talk about their mixed changing dramatically they did not talk about like seeing their customer change a lot, what they talked about is. They had too much of the wrong inventory because of the supply chain disruptions last year and then being forced to deeply discount a lot of product and they took like a 1.5 billion dollar haircut on their inventory. Um which they had warned us they were going to do but so what they're saying is man we're just having to sell a lot of this stuff cheaper and that's it's not necessarily because of inflation but more because. We have the wrong stuff. Scot: [27:51] That yeah got you think they had this supply chain problem and ended up with the stuff they ordered a year ago gosh when I open this door is. Jason: [28:00] That for sure is true like they all ordered like Walmart you know said similar things that Walmart's I think said if we had a magic wand we would make 1.5 billion dollars worth of our inventory just disappear. Um and you know they all like. Beefed up their orders around holiday and they you know they all went to these extraordinary expenses to get inventory they got inventory much more via much more expensive means you know from more expensive suppliers with more expensive Freight. Um a lot of those costs are coming down right now freight costs are coming down shipping costs are coming down, but you know a lot of that inventory rolled in and it you know it was the clothes they hope to sell for Christmas that you know is less appealing now. I would argue people are also just buying less clothes right now like and I do think that's partly because of the economy and inflation. You know Target saying it's not Walmart saying it is it's possible they're both right it's you know Walmart has a lower income customer than Target and so it is possible that the. The typical Walmart customers more affected by inflation and their behavior is changing more dramatically in the more affluent customer that shops at Target and Amazon, um that their behavior is changing less as a result of inflation so I you know it's not outside the realm of possibility that they're both they're both right from their. Scot: [29:26] Nursing did in their warnings they both talked about apparel any more color on that. Jason: [29:33] I mean again the the they're seeing home slow down a lot which is interesting because you know people were overspending on home when they couldn't travel you you've seen this in your business but like. A lot of people are back to travel there's a lot of Revenge travel people are also restaurants are having a moment restaurants are crushing grocery stores at the moment, as you know everybody I'm not sure covid zup officially over but like everybody's mentally of it over covid rushing back to restaurants and fun fact. Inflation for restaurant food is much lower than inflation for grocery store food so it's actually a better deal right. So the food thing is weird the apparel thing is weird consumer electronics are really soft sales right now and they're they're actually. They have this weird counter effect like that's the one category that's having deflation TVs or less expensive this year than they were last year. And yet sales are still really soft I think Best Buy reports earnings tomorrow so that'll probably be a challenge for them. In the discretionary spending categories the one category that everyone has called out as an out performer is beauty. And I think that's this thing that we call affordable luxury that like you know when you're not feeling great about your finances but you want to treat yourself like what you do is you buy the premium whip. Instead of an expensive outfit or something like. Scot: [30:57] Nursing yeah kind of a can still feel good about yourself but you spent a lot less than a whole new. Jason: [31:03] Exactly I would argue that a better affordable luxuries to have someone do an amazing job detailing your car but that's just me. Scot: [31:09] Or a iced vanilla latte at Starbucks or 10. Jason: [31:15] Yeah yeah absolutely that's not that's not an affordable luxury Scott that's a necessity. Scot: [31:22] Were there any other omni-channel you want to cover because I had a. Jason: [31:26] Yeah yeah I think we probably spend enough time the Home Improvement guys did report it was kind of a in between Home Depot is decent their up 5.4% in their their comp sales which is kind of in between what we saw at Target and Walmart they talked about seeing their consumer business has slowed down and seeing their Pro businesses which is the contractors pick up so I do think consumer spending on their homes is slowing down I don't know where that pro-business is coming from at first glance so we'll have to dive into that deeper but the housing market is all topsy-turvy right now. Scot: [32:04] Yes I think that this kind of ties into the, bifurcation of the convenience already consumer in the more affluent and then the value of learning consumer that the pros being busy it was more Renovations are still going on at larger homes. Jason: [32:21] Yep that makes sense. Scot: [32:22] You know that that weird that like segment and maybe what's happening is you maybe you've outgrown your house you thought you get a new one interest rates went up are like well if I put that money into a expansion or something, you know that this may be a better use of proceeds than putting it towards paying the bank larger percentage I think that's probably what's going on there. Jason: [32:44] No that makes total sense I'll buy that yeah so then what's the last tranche of earnings we want to talk about Scott. Scot: [32:52] This was interesting because I was reading a couple articles and I saw you know Casper has a new CEO and and he came in and was basically saying, hey it's time to start stop losing money we need to be a profitable company, so then I started wondering you know he had that cluster of sa cluster in a positive way we had a grouping of companies go public that we talk a lot about that we're kind of in this, some of them were not 100% digitally native vertical Brands but in this kind of cohort over the last 18 months of IPOs, not 18 months calendar but with IPO windows open we had if you remember we had wish thread up Casper glossy a all birds. Warby and purple and a couple others go public. [33:39] So then I started poking around and it's basically a bloodbath out there for that cohort of companies so you know Casper's not doing very well. I'm thredup which you would think would do really well in recession because people would look at more Consignment type type of peril they had to do a pretty big layoff the 15% probably the most hit hard is wished which I've never 100% understood wished but you know far be it for me too to figure that out but you would think they would be doing well because they always had this super inexpensive stuff the trade-off was it took a while to get to you but if you needed like a phone little drone or I think one of their biggest sellers is hair extensions bridal gowns all kinds of stuff you wouldn't really expect for that value or to Consumer you think during recession that would do really well, their revenue is down 80 percent year over year so they are just basically coming unglued they did a Rebrand and their new brand is. Bargains made fund discovery made easy which to be hence that maybe Discovery was a problem and now they're trying to say hey we kind of. [34:47] You came to us before and you couldn't find what you're looking for but now we fix that kind of has that that kind of vibe to the new branding. One that's popular with the ladies in my house is glossy a they had to do a 33% layoffs and I can understand this because we went on a New York trip and that's one of the, places we make a trach tube and the store was closed and this is just like. [35:10] Four weeks ago so definitely post coded so that wasn't good and I think I know what's going on there, Albert's didn't 8% layoffs were be they had a weird mixed message they were doing some layoffs and talking about their losses mounting but then they announced their opening 40 stores and that they think it makes economic sense it's kind of like. Yeah I didn't feel like the best time to be doing that and they didn't really say anything other than we think that this is a good use of capital. We'll see and then you know so Casper is doing pretty poorly and then purple who's kind of a Casper clone if you will need to actually predate Casper's they wouldn't like that being called a butt yet another online mattress company their revenues down over 20% year-over-year I think during covid-19 we got new mattresses and now there's kind of a like a pull forward for that that that's a huge problem so that whole cohort is not doing well and kind of indexing much worse than kind of like what you saw in the data I want to ask you what if you think there's do you have a theory of what's going on with those guys. Jason: [36:14] I do like I think the whole direct-to-consumer model, I'm not saying it can't work but it's way more challenging than a lot of people. Um gave it credit for right like the fundamental problem with the direct-to-consumer model is customer acquisition right like there's 240 million households in the US and getting them to know about you and be aware of you and want to buy your product is, really hard right and if you're a direct-to-consumer company with no organic awareness and no reason for people to discover you the way you get people to find out about you is you buy ads right you buy that awareness and and all these d2c companies were. Using digital ads you know mainly on Facebook 22 by audiences and so one thing we know is customer acquisition costs have gone up because of, the Privacy changes in the less the lower efficacy of a lot of those those digital things. [37:17] You know even on the old pricing every subsequent customer gets more expensive than the last one like the first customers you can buy are the cheapest, but you know increasingly you have to bid higher and higher for an audience that's slightly a lower propensity to buy your stuff and so as you grow as you scale, it gets harder and harder to keep growing and so we've seen a ton of these d2c companies. Grow really fast from zero to something and then hit a plateau and slow way down and we were seeing that before the pandemic we were seeing it during the pandemic, some of these companies like we're partly aided by the pandemic and so maybe it gave them a little extra Runway some of these companies like. A way we're probably hurt by the pandemic and had less less Runway but I think what we're seeing is that. That the pure direct-to-consumer model without some other way of cup of consumers, cheaply making consumers aware of your products, is really challenging so you're seeing a bunch of these dtc's open their own stores that's the war be model you're seeing a bunch of these dtc's pivot to wholesale so glossy is moving into Ulta I think it is or it may be Sephora I apologize if I have it wrong, um but they're a bunch of these guys have moved into wholesale to get awareness. [38:43] And you know that changes the whole margin structure and does all these things I think there's a Warren Buffett quote, they're only when the tide goes out can you find out who's not wearing a bathing suit and I feel like that's that's kind of the situation we're in with these D disease is you know once we've come into a, challenging economic model Market the. The high cost of customer acquisition and the challenges with continuing the scale are really starting to be a parent for all these data see companies you buy that. Scot: [39:15] I do and a lot of them in our you know in our world we think about cackle TV and you kind of get in your head yeah it's you know I'm growing X percent macaque LTD is three or four and you feel like that's going to stay around forever right and then you hit recessionary period which apparently this isn't and hit some headwinds or some chop and suddenly you know that no one's buying that second mattress for that second pair of glasses or you know whatever it is and then, you know your whole economic model is built on this ratio of cacti LTD of three and suddenly it's one and a half and if you don't react quickly to that and if you don't have if all you have is paid mechanisms that are built on that that will ratio then you're in the horns of a dilemma where you're kind of like well I turn that off, the the acquisition spigot I can't grow Revenue but if I keep it on my my earnings are going to, go to heck in a hand basket because I'm effectively my cup my kak My overall economic side business have changed very dramatically and there's no way for me to. To deal with that and because these guys have such a big chunk of their you know their their revenue from Paid media it doesn't they don't have a lot of degrees to Pivot on so another way of saying what you said but I agree is the short route. Jason: [40:38] You know you reminded me one funny thing I think one of both of our favorite guests on the show Dan McCarthy. You know he talks about like every time he gets to look at the finances for one of these d2c companies that they they wildly underestimate their CAC and overestimate their LTV that like the math is also just flawed that like you know most most of these d2c companies feel like they're going to have like incredible retention and keep the these customers re spending every year for a long time that their data doesn't necessarily support so they they overestimate their ltvs because they don't account for enough turn and then you know they all just treat their ad costs as their total kak and you know it's customer acquisition cost it's all the costs to find that customer and get them to buy them and onboard it so all the customer service costs all the onboarding cost there's a lot of extra cost that should be in that cack number that a lot of first-time d2c CFOs don't don't tend to put in there so. I thought that was a funny observation as well. Scot: [41:44] Yeah and then a lot of times you know you'll be like let's say 20 million and you're just driving the business itself Google and you're like well this is amazing and but then Google Google searches are a pretty finite resource and at some point you kind of can get them all right so there's only so many people that are typing in mattress everything and then then you're like okay well I'll do you know I'll do Facebook I'll do this I'll do what not and then as you do you Whittle away Google is always one of the most effective advertising venues because the consumers given you their intent so they're at the bottom of the funnel, so then as you walk up the top of the funnel your cat goes way up and then you can have infinite spin there at the top of the funnel but. It doesn't really change the metrics Downstream so then that's that scaling problem so all these guys get to 100 million and then and it really Falls over because because they can't really get that incremental next dollar and if they do they're kak LTV ratio goes way up because they're spending so much more on, paid media LTD is stable so yeah it's a tough slog so I think reading between the lines when when were be says we want to open up stores that I think they're trying to you know cough ironically go from a pure online to being in foot traffic and getting people there which is you know what they're basically saying I think is that that may be cheaper than that next in Criminal online add-on. Jason: [43:11] 100% I wonder I when we're all retired and we look back on this market like I do think there's going to be a lot more d2c activity than we have today but I actually think most of it is going to look more like Nike it's going to look more like someone that was born as a wholesaler that created huge awareness affinity and love and eventually hit escape velocity where they didn't need that that wholesale model anymore and they were able to then go direct to Consumer and have a low customer acquisition cost and kind of growth hack and I'll bet you a lot more of the d2c brands that are dominant you know sort of 10 to 15 years down the road got there by starting wholesale and transitioning to d2c rather than being born D to C which is just I think a tough value. Scot that's a lot for one show and you know we've already teased people about a subsequent show on e-commerce so I feel like we should try to wrap up is there anything else we didn't cover that you were excited to talk about. Scot: [44:19] Not just want to give you good luck tomorrow I hope all your data flows or columns line up your Tableau is humming and I look forward to hearing your analysis on what comes out of the day tomorrow. Jason: [44:33] Awesome well my in-laws are visiting and they're commuting home tomorrow so they promised they're going to listen to Tonight Show in the car so I just want to give a shout-out sit to and Papa. Um and with that it's happen again we've used up our allotted time as always if this show for you some value if you're going to be a little smarter around the virtual water cooler tomorrow, the way you can repay us for this free show is you can jump on iTunes and leave us that five-star review that we so warmly deserve. [45:08] Happy commercing!

Here's me chatting about the time I was a smartphone newbie and got tripped up using an app from Amazon, with it being entirely my own fault. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fiction-and-copy-decoded/support

Amazon macht wirklich ernst. Das Unternehmen hat kürzlich bereits reagiert und die eigene Shopping-App spürbar eingeschränkt. Jetzt folgt mit Prime Video die Streaming-App, wo die Einschränkungen noch massiver ausfallen. Ziel ist es, dass Google kein Geld mehr verdient.

A few weeks back, and with much fanfare, Amazon launched their attempt at cracking the "social audio" nut with AMP. AMP is a new Amazon App-based product that allows users to combine speech, listener interaction and Amazon's music library to create radio-like programmes available via the Amazon AMP platform. It has been billed by some to be not only a competitor to but also a successor to traditional radio and that is the topic of this episode of Sound Business. On this show, Jim Salveson speaks to two guests on either side of the Atlantic and both with contrasting views as to what the potential could be for this new product. First Jeremy Goldman from Insider Intelligence gives his views on what the future may hold for the App, its chances of success and Amazon's future intentions. Then we'll hear from director of Folder Media (and Radio/Audio/Digital exper) Matt Deegan on why, whilst interesting, AMP is not a genuine threat to the way we consume radio. You can find more from Jeremy on the emarketer/Insider Intelligence website https://www.emarketer.com/analysts/jeremy-goldman and find him on Twitter via https://twitter.com/jeremarketer  Whilst you can hear and read more from Matt via his website and newsletter https://onaudio.mattdeegan.com and find him on Twitter via https://twitter.com/Matt If you want to find out more about the world Voiceworks, working with brands, councils and communities to deliver this type of super-targeted audio content then please check out the "Our Word" section of the Voiceworks website: https://voiceworks.ai/our-work/ You can follow Voiceworks on Twitter @Voiceworksai, find Jim via @Mr_Jimbob and if you want to learn more about sound or find out how Voiceworks can help you unlock the power of audio at www.voiceworks.ai Learn more about your ad choices.

Tech In Five brengt je elke werkdag het technieuws in vijf minuten.

Double Tap Canada is back! With the smell of Brussels sprouts in the air and gravy stains everywhere, there's no denying we're still in festive mood and what better way to celebrate than to open one of Steven's parcels live on the show? In his never-ending quest to own every single bit of tech on the planet, Steven has bought himself something a little bit different this week. Throughout the show, we'll be unboxing and trying to set up the Lenovo Smart Clock 2, a Google assistant powered clock. With its design and touch-screen display, this device seems very similar to the Amazon Echo Show but the important question is … can we get it to talk? Along the way, we'll also be discussing the importance of Braille keys, what exactly Canadians eat for Christmas dinner, a new web browsing app for the Apple Watch and what we expect from the Apple Glasses. Thank you so much for listening, and we'd all like to wish you a very Happy New Year from everyone here at Double Tap and AMI-audio!

Happy Christmas from Double Tap Canada! In this festive episode, Marc, Steven and Shaun take a look at the tech they've bought over the last year, and what they would recommend to others. There's computers, keyboards, headphones, speakers, smart cups and coffee machines, services and more. Steven has also found an interesting, or terrifying depending on your view, section of the Amazon app where you can see how many parcels you've ordered over the last year. There are no prizes for guessing which one of the team has ordered the most… Wishing you all a happy holiday season from all of the Double Tap Canada team!

Prime Day 2021 is almost here! I know you know things about Prime Day. It's not new anymore. You know how it works. However, in this episode, I go over some setting reminders to ensure you're all set for those Lightning Deals, so you don't miss out on a good deal! I also offer up quite a few questions to ask yourself before ultimately buying that item you just have to have. The Prime Day shopping extravaganza is something I look forward to, but my oh my, do I need to keep myself in check! SHOW NOTES: This post contains affiliate links. You don't pay any extra, and I earn a small commission. I'd also like to call attention if prices I mentioned in this episode were prices I paid at the current time and may not reflect the prices you would pay at the time of reading or listening to this. What You Need To Know: -Sign up for 30 day trial if not a Prime Member..set a reminder in your calendar to cancel before that so you don't forget. -Remember to check out Walmart, Target, Best Buy..in fact thanks to seeing an instagram post from TheKrazyCouponLady they outlined some important dates to know for the week. I want to give them credit for this information for sure. So here it is….Target Deal Days 6/20-6/22; Walmart Deal Days 6/20-6/23, Amazon Prime Day 6/21-6/22, Kohls Wow Days 6/21-6/22, Macy's Epic Specials 6/21-6/22, Best Buy Bigger Deal Savings Event will go through Tuesday 6/22, and Costco…because always check costco -Amazon App is crucial. Open Amazon App>Go to Menu>Tap Settings>Notifications>Turn on Watched and Waitlisted Deals Then just find an upcoming deal and simply add it to your watchlist. Once they are live, claim your deals and checkout before they expire. You typically have 15 min to complete checkout. JUST BECAUSE YOU ADD IT TO YOUR CART, DOES NOT MEAN YOU GOT THAT DEAL. -Make sure your default mailing address is correct ahead of time. -Watch deals and get notified when they start……Watch A Deal notification lets you know when your deal is about to start.  The questions I ask myself before I purchase: -Is this Free Returns? I feel safe with free returns when it comes to my impulse buying -I also have a preset discount rule in my brain. 30% off is my typical threshold. I'll entertain 20% off, but anything below a 20% discount is completely dismissed for me. I can just buy at another time if I need. I advise you come up with a strategy as well. -I check Walmart, Target, and Best Buy (if it's a technology item) -Is this even a pondering purchase I've had? Why do I want this? Will I use this within a one month time? If not, dismissed. -Am I buying this for a Christmas present for someone? If you answer yes, abandon…it's July! No! Is this a birthday present for someone within a one month time? Yes, then get it. -reminder…look at reviews. like around the page 3/4 mark. what are the dates? counterfeit products are a real thing. Special Deals That Jump Out At Me: -Save $10 on Prime Day when you spend $10 with small business…now this is only available if you are listening to this today on 6/20. Before the end of today, if you spend $10 on products from small businesses (amazon.com/supportsmall), you'll receive a $10 credit via email that you can then spend that $10 on prime day during 6/21 through 6/22. -For Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Card Members 6% back on amazon.com for Amazon and Whole Foods Market purchases made from 6/21 to 6/22 (normally 5% back) -Amazon kids+ 3 month subscription for $.99 gives access to more than 20,000 popular apps and games, videos, books, Audible books and educational content. -21 free photo prints with AmazonPhotos (code PRINTS21) -There are some deals on subscription networks, for instance, I saw a Discovery+ offer for $.99/month for 2 month and then $6.99 after. There were some other STARZ, SHOWTIME, PARAMAMOUNT+ etc. I'll like to the page in show notes. -Wondery+ 4 months free of Wondery+ Ad Free Premium Podcasts (annual price is normally $34.99 plus tax) find under Amazon Music My struggles: I don't like people taking away deals from me! I stay away from Ebay for this very reason. And heaven forbid I attend an actual live auction. Can you imagine?? What I'm looking for: very random! make your list! -outdoor security camera -cat toys -boom arm -outdoor platform swing -tv for playroom -blue light glasses (felix gray for girls) -any subscriptions -desk -beach canopy -new lunch box for ellie -back to school stuff (I could get behind this reasoning) -golf related -podcasting related (so your hobby) -new towels -berkey water filter system -knife set -scale

EP257 - Cookies, IDFA, and Commerce Deep Dive Changes in mobile tracking (IDFA), and browser tracking (third party cookies) are likely to disrupt digital commerce. Here is everything you need to know. Background Privacy Law Changes California Consumer Privacy Act of 2020 (CPRA) California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Third Party Cookies Safari (19% share) 3P cookies blocked as of March 2020 Firefox (4% share) 3P blocked as of Sept 2019 Chrome (64% share) will block 3P January 2022 Mobile Tracking (Digital License Plates for Mobile Users) Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) – Goes from Opt Out to Opt In  Q1 2021 Google Play Services ID for Android (GPS ADID) – Still Opt Out Use Cases that are impacted by IDFA/3P changes Audience Activation and Retargeting Frequency Capping and Suppression Media Attribution Audience Insights and Segmentation Personalization Alternative Solutions 1P Walled Gardens (Facebook, Google, Amazon) Real ID Systems (Trade Desk, Liveramp, Epsilon) Clean Rooms Cohorts – Google Privacy Sandbox: FloC (Federated Learning of Cohorts) Impacted Businesses Google – Biggest winner, built a business based on relaxed privacy standards, now pulling the ladder up behind them Apple – See Google, but with a smaller share of browser market Facebook – Lose ground to Google/Apple but gain on everyone else Amazon – Winner. Forcing more ad dollars to Amazon walled garden Shopify – Loser. Forcing Facebook to capture more commerce instead of referring to Shopify sites. Publishers – Loser. Harder to make ad model work Other Retailers – Loser for customer acquisition, slight benefit for retail media networks Conclusion Advertising rates go down which depreciates ad based business models (content sites and games). More businesses pivot from ad based to paywalls. Greater focus on Customer Lifetime Value (via subscription and platform approaches), more cleanrooms. Much harder for new businesses to challenge incumbent walled gardens. Episode 257 of the Jason & Scot show was recorded live on Wednesday March 17, 2021. http://jasonandscot.com Join your hosts Jason "Retailgeek" Goldberg, Chief Commerce Strategy Officer at Publicis, and Scot Wingo, CEO of GetSpiffy and Co-Founder of ChannelAdvisor as they discuss the latest news and trends in the world of e-commerce and digital shopper marketing. Transcript Jason: [0:24] Welcome to the Jason and Scott show this is episode 257 being recorded on Wednesday March 17th 2021 I’m your host Jason retailgeek Goldberg and as usual I’m here with your co-host Scot Wingo. Scot: [0:41] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners. Jason has you know when we look at our analytics and based on feedback we get from listeners some of our most popular shows over the years are where we get super-dee-duper geeky and we go really deep on one topic. We call those with what I think is a genius of marketing we call those deep Dives. Jason: [1:05] Jason and Scot show Deep dive. Scot: [1:18] So we have been I’ve been reading a ton about a big change coming to the overall ecosystem of advertising and it’s initiated by Apple and it’s called idfa. And as you know I read a lot of Wall Street stuff and some of the Wall Street folks are freaking out because they’re basically saying this is going to be big and the world’s not paying enough attention. And you know in my mind I’m kind of that sad world that doesn’t really impact e-commerce but then I started to see it getting really noisy around the impact to folks on the converse side too. So I looked around and called everyone I know and none of them were experts on the so I last ditch effort I said maybe my podcast co-host knows a little bit about this, seeing as he works for one of the world’s largest ad agencies and lo and behold I was right you do you are a Ninja on this. So I know enough about this topic to have a lot of questions but I have no answers so, we’re going to kind of flip it a little bit here and I’m going to interview you on this topic how does that feel how does it feel to be in the chair. Jason: [2:28] I’m terrified I like being the one to ask the questions and know the questions in advance so I feel like that the I should have come to rehearsal. Scot: [2:38] Yeah put some curveballs in here and we’ll see how it goes so. Let’s start at the top the maybe a little bit of background on this issue kind of starts with cookies so if we if we do the Wayback machine let’s start at cookies and I think a lot of us know the basics of cookies but just to kind of make sure, because a lot of some people in e-commerce start really worried about this just because it works right you don’t really have to worry about it per se but you know, I’m pretty familiar with first-party and third-party cookies but maybe maybe start at the beginning and why do cookies exist what’s the difference between first and third party cookies and then we’ll go from there. Jason: [3:19] Yeah awesome and let me be one precursor I you’ve are vastly oversold me I definitely don’t want to claim to be an expert in this stuff the. Scot: [3:30] You’re the chief digital retail cookie tracking idfa officer. Jason: [3:37] You would so one would think therefore that I was at Tech Guru but let me just say this stuff is super complicated. It’s an alphabet soup by the way anyone that’s an expert in the space is apparently not by contract not allowed to use any full words they can only use acronyms for everything which is super complicated. And it’s been my experience like I’ve been in the room with CMOS that spend a fortune on all these digital ad products and programmatic products, and the more you talk to them you start to realize oh my God they don’t understand these ad products either so I would just say like, no one should feel bad that doesn’t completely grasp this topic because it is really complicated and you and I will do our best to simplify that and so what so great Point let’s start with cookies. Scot: [4:28] I’ll also give you a pass because this thing the idfa we’re going to talk about isn’t even out yet so so we’re anticipating a lot of stuff and it’s sure to be I think will be closed and there’s enough to know kind of the general topic but some of the specific details may change once it’s released. Jason: [4:45] Yeah a lot of changes still in flight for sure. So cookies cookies are just a simple little text file that sits on your computer that stores data from your browser and so the. Kind of fundamental first use case is. You like to read The Wall Street Journal every day and you have an account with the Wall Street Journal and you don’t have to type your username in every single time you go to the Wall Street Journal so you check that little boxing remember me. Um so the way the Wall Street Journal remembers you is they get to write a little text file on on your hard drive, that says I’m the Wall Street Journal cookie and username equals Scot Wingo, um so it’s a way for websites to store data on your computer that they can use in future visits. Scot: [5:34] Side note Wall Street Journal is the worst example because they apparently ignore my cookie but go ahead I know that’s the intent but they’re like the absolute worst. Jason: [5:42] So so that I mean but the original intent of what are called first-party cookies is for a website to store data about their user that could be used to improve, their experience in subsequent visits right and it was originally about user experiences but pretty quickly. Evil advertisers figured out that it was a valuable tool to improve and Target advertising. And to facilitate that the browsers were extended to support a new kind of cookie called a third-party cookie. So a first-party cookie is the Wall Street Journal storing your username on the Wall Street Journal. And and literally the I want to say the name of that cookie file on your computer is like is the Wall Street Journal URL, and so that websites allowed to open that cookie, what third party cookies are is a way for one website to write a piece of information that then can be read by another website. [6:45] So by default the New York Times can’t read The Wall Street Journal cookie so it can’t like steal your username from The Wall Street Journal. But now websites could write these third-party cookies that became really useful for advertising so for example. You could be shopping for some skis on Backcountry.com and they could write a third party cookie that says you have a ski, in the cart that you didn’t buy and then when you go to read The Wall Street Journal, you could see an ad for those skis because the Wall Street Journal is allowed to read Backcountry dot-coms third-party cookie and then run a retargeting ad for you. So those third-party cookies are super useful for tracking you across the web and spamming you with ads from each others. Websites. And that is one of the things that is being phased out in the Privacy world is the use of third-party cookies. [7:53] Just getting one thing so a ton of people call this the Cookie list future and that’s kind of a misnomer because no one’s doing anything to first-party cookies like so there, they’re not going away third party cookies have been turned off by two of the big browser so Safari are ready. Has third party cookies off by default you can opt in the turn them back on and Facebook blocks third-party cookies and so that the only browser that still supports. For third-party cookies is the browser that’s owned by the largest advertising Network in the world which is Google. And they have now announced that they’re going to be eliminating third party cookies in early 2022. Scot: [8:41] How about Microsoft with ie or Edge I think is the official new name of their browser are they have they already. Jason: [8:49] Here’s what I’m getting into a slightly gray area there are two flavors of edge there’s kind of Microsoft’s old browsers and the modern versions of edge are based on chromium. And I believe but I’m not certain that the that third-party cookies are not. Have not been depreciated in any Chromium browser as of yet but I could be I could be mistaken. Scot: [9:21] Okay and then give us an idea of the scale of this like if third party cookies all went away. How many users are being tracked with them and you know what are some of the you mentioned what’s classically called retargeting that seems to be like squarely in the cross hairs here but what are some of the other things that would be if I if I do a Google CPC at is that going to be impacted by this. Jason: [9:47] Yeah so. [9:50] So scale wise as we sit here today in this moves around a little bit but as far as about 19 percent of the worldwide browser share so third party cookies already don’t work there, Firefox is like 4% third-party cookies don’t work and chrome is about 64 percent so it’s it’s. Third party cookies have been going away for a couple of years I think this started in 2017 that Safari started turning off some third-party cookies and. When Chrome turns them off like they will essentially be dead, the turnoff has been very graceful so far because like Safari didn’t even just say all third-party cookies are off what they said is third party cookies are going to have a very short life span so maybe they used to live forever, now they automatically get deleted every two weeks and then they automatically get deleted every week so we’ve kind of had this, slow gradual erosion of third-party cookies but once Chrome turns them off. The expectation is that nobody’s going to bother to use them because even if there’s some Niche browsers that still leave them on or a few people opt-in for them they’re just not going to be. [10:58] Ubiquitous enough to be very useful for advertisers and so so yeah when you think about the use cases for those third-party cookies, one very definite one is the retargeting add that we just talked about that you’ve got something in your cart and you didn’t buy and now I as a merchant can buy ads on other websites you go to to advertise that item right so that’s a highly personalized 121. [11:22] The what you may not notice is there’s a much more mild version of that that’s happening to you a lot more right so. [11:32] Lexus wants to sell sell you a car and so they want to show you Lexus car ads right well, one of the best places Alexis could buy a car at would be on Car and Driver webs.com right because. By default the majority of people on car driver.com are car enthusiasts there they’re more likely to be in market for a new vehicle and so you know the. One of the most affected places I could place an a car ad would be on a car Enthusiast website. That’s also the most expensive place to buy a car ad right and so maybe. Dubai some car ads on that site or maybe I can’t afford any car ads on that site but I’d like to advertise to car enthusiasts even though I can’t afford the the car and driver ad rate right, so what third party cookies let me do is say I would like to buy an add-on cnet.com. [12:31] For people that have previously visited car and driver.com right so it’s not a personalized ad it’s not a unique add to Scot Wingo, but it’s an add to a cohort of car Enthusiast and I probably don’t specifically say I want to buy, visitors from Carmen driver.com I probably say I want to buy ads from anyone that has visited anyone of a bundle of car enthusiasts websites. So so there’s a ton of ads you see on the the the web that are lightly targeted. Based on your previous browsing Behavior. Scot: [13:09] Right and the so they’re kind of like these real-time options right so someone’s going to see net and CNET says hey I’ve got a pageview coming up here from this this cohort you know that we’re going to call car buyers who wants who wants to pay for this person and there’s like a little mini auction that goes on that’s kind of how the Ed ad networks work right. Jason: [13:28] Exactly and so they’re highly efficient they get the maximum amount of money they can’t that the market will bear for all of those ads and by the way. Well advertising people love these and AD Network to have sewing these ads like it’s it’s debatable how effective they are because in my hypothetical example you’re never going to buy a Lexus. Like I like I know you’re a Tesla guy the fact that you go to turn car and driver doesn’t actually mean you have a greater affinity for buying a Lexus if you see a net. [14:00] But that’s the supposition and in all of these ads so they’re more likely to be more more buyers in that pool so that they like their clearly has some efficacy but sometimes people go overboard and thinking about how effective they are. Um but third-party cookies are useful for a couple other use cases as well, um so so one that I suspect we’ll talk about a lot later is our friends at Facebook right and Facebook invented one of the most evilly genius things on the web, they invented this like button and so you know when you’re on Facebook you see these these like buttons you can click for various content to say you like it and they’re a bunch of reasons that useful for Facebook. [14:40] Facebook conda bunch of other websites in also having a like button on their website right and almost every time you see an article there’s probably a like button that you could click on that article. And guess what that’s doing like that’s putting data in a third-party cookie that Facebook can read. And so it actually gives Facebook a ton of insight about how Facebook users behave. All across the web and so Facebook absorbs all that data and they can use it in two ways they can actually sell ads on. Properties other than their own and both Facebook and Google do this so they sell ads off of their their endemic properties and Those ads are highly targeted just like on their endemic properties, and they’re targeted using this third-party cookie metaphor. But then also Facebook is collecting a bunch of data that they put into their machine learning models and learn more, how customers behave and what their propensity to buy and do certain things is so one of Facebook’s most popular. Add products is this thing called a look-alike audience and so essentially you go to Facebook and you say. I’ve got a thousand customers it gets Biffy that are my most valuable customers. [15:58] And I would like to buy ads that get shown to people that are exactly like those customers. And Facebook says great give me their email addresses and they look at the you you hand them your email addresses for your thousand favorite customers and they use a. Super secret Black Box algorithm of machine learning that they run that through they find those users which they likely already know those users to through all of these these various Network touch points. And then they say what similarities do they have with the other billion users we have on Facebook and they. They find you a gentleman we 50,000 more customers that are probably pretty similar to your thousand best customers and then they run a really expensive auction to get you to buy. Ads targeting those those customers and so even if that ad shows up on Facebook and they didn’t need a third party ad to show that a third-party cookie to show that ad. They relied on a lot of data they collected from third-party cookies in order to build that look-alike audience in the first place. Scot: [17:05] Got it so when I say give me a look like audience they’re not just saying okay it’s you know females that are 22 to 40 their the demographic they’re saying and they also go to these websites and they also you know, login to so there that 3p data the third party cookie the first party stuff they know already like what you’re doing on Facebook but they’re also tracking all that off Facebook activity and that helps them build a better profile. Jason: [17:32] Exactly so like like a dumb or programmatic at is to just Target the ad based on the demographic or psychographic I want to. Buy ads for people that live within you know in a geography where gets biffy’s offered right I don’t want to waste money running ads and geographies in the few geographies where there’s not a good spiffy yet, so that that makes sense as an ad that super simple it’s just a kind of a hard rule show that in these zip codes not in these zip codes, um but maybe you know people in a certain age range or certain gender have a better propensity or or even a certain income bracket or something like that you know you can, you can Target based on all these apps are Buttes and and most of these at networks offer hundreds of demographic and psychographic attributes, but the look-alike audience is even fancier than that they they won’t tell you what goes into the look like audience. It’s more likely to yield customers, that behave the same way as the customers you give them then just a demographic or psychographic profile would get you. Scot: [18:37] Got it. Okay so that’s good setup so third-party cookies are under assault and we have you talked about idfa it so Along Comes This idfa and this is kind of like step I don’t know six to ten somewhere in there of a multi-step Journey where you know more and more privacy issues or initiatives are limiting, not only cookies but any tracking so maybe give us a little background on these these these other things that have kind of led to idfa. Jason: [19:09] So so again I’m trying to avoid the acronym soup idfa is a. Is an acronym from Apple and it’s called the Apple identifier for advertisers. And the this is something that’s specific to mobile apps in the way to think of this is It’s a, a unique serial number for every mobile device that has Apple. Apple’s operating system so some people like to call this like a nice metaphor for this is It’s a digital license plate so that see you know people can identify. Your car uniquely when it when it drives drives through the mobile echo system, um the of course your device has a unique number on the modem called the MAC address which is the actual leg serial number of your modem and you have a unique number from the wireless carrier, um so but those numbers it’s been illegal for for. App developers to use for a while like the because of privacy concerns and so and so the idfa was invented so the Apple would have a unique number for every user the advertisers could use and marketers could use. But that a user could change or delete or opt out of if they wanted to write like you can’t delete your your modem serial number which is why I advertised are not allowed to use that but you can and have been able to for a long time. [20:37] Opt out of having your idfa be public so by default your idea phase public everyone can see it you can in fact opt-out and and, allegedly about 30 percent of Apple users opt out of idfa so so today about 30% of users already have turned this off, um but they had to know how to dig into the Apple settings and turn it off, it said the big change that Apple’s talking about is instead of making idfa opt-out they’re going to make it opt-in which means everyone that wants to use the idfa in their mobile apps is going to have to, explicitly as your permission before they do that and I know you have some questions but side note. There’s a an exact equivalent that Google offers for the Android operating system. And it’s called Google Play service ID for Android which you’ll hear This Acronym way last but it’s it’s GPS a d ID so. Apple and Google each have a yeah digital license plate and Apple has some time last year Apple announced that, sometime this year and probably March or April is the the latest date they’re going to Pivot to from opt out of that digital license plate to opt-in for that digital license plate. Scot: [22:06] So that means on my so they recently did a change on my iPhone where you know I would, the default was you would share your your your location for example the GPS and then it got like. Now for example it will very occasionally pop up and say hey this apps tracking where you are do you want to allow that never just while it’s running or always so is that going to be what the user experience is down the road I’m going to some I’ll be using an app and it will say hey this app is tracking you do you want to allow it or not is is that kind of what. Jason: [22:44] So if you were starting in in iOS from scratch you buy the new device you and you install that you know from scratch, every time you installed an app that wanted access to your your digital license plate your idfa, um a a requester would come up saying this app intends to do x y and z. Do you allow tracking or not allow tracking and there’s some controversy over that language so we could talk about that later if you want, um so that’s how it would work on a go-forward basis but as you pointed out, you likely already have a phone that has hundreds of apps installed on it and you’re likely going to upgrade to this new variant of Apple’s IOS 14 when it comes out, and and you have a bunch of apps where you by default already opted into idfa so the way Apple handles that is over some short grace period, every time you try to use one of those apps, it’s going to reconfirm that you’re still okay with idfa being turned on by popping up this requester and saying, Facebook has been tracking you across all the mobile apps you use on the website do you want to continue to allow them to track or do you want to disallow it. Scot: [23:59] Got it okay so just to reorient a lot of the cookie stuff is really kind of browser-based a lot of this this idfa and these these little digital license plate you things they’re more app-based but they’re both under pressure and the idfa is essentially the same as getting rid of third-party cookies but. Way abstract use that is that a. Jason: [24:21] For iOS yes. Scot: [24:22] Fireless got it and this is this is material because you know we see these stats all the time that you know over half of e-commerce you know transactions now I guess our mobile and more than 60 70 percent of traffic is mobile and then you know iOS is something like 60 70 % of e-commerce for some reason it over index is even though you know there that’s about I think, Android has higher market share iOS has higher e-commerce share is that. Jason: [24:54] In general worldwide shares about 50/50, between Android and Apple but Apple users 10 in a variety of ways to spend more money so from a consumer standpoint they’re more valuable. Scot: [25:10] Got it and then I think you said it in there but this is going to come out in Spring of 2021 it’s going to be a part of a new 14 iOS 14 release, I heard today someone say end of March so maybe that’s maybe it’s coming pretty soon. Jason: [25:26] Yeah it’s the beta is out so this Behavior like developers and even if you’re not a developer I think you can now install there’s an open version of this beta so it’s just a matter of when they push it and they haven’t announced the exact push date but it’s you know given that, that it’s in open Beta right now it can’t it’s not going to be too long. Scot: [25:48] Yes so our listeners are out there and hopefully they’ve stuck through this and so they’re kind of thinking what’s this mean for me. So number one third party cookies a lot of them rely on that but then number two a lot of us in the e-commerce ecosystem and. Full disclosure this is true it’s Biffy. You know it seems like the Google type of AD spend will still work pretty well because you got your keyword and all that stuff’s pretty linear if you will. But it seems like this could really break Facebook because Facebook so you know, Facebook’s largest shares through the app there’s some bazillion people logged into that app all the time every day doing a lot of activity and when I say Facebook I’m including Instagram in the whole family there and you know so now. Now either Facebook won’t be able to track, totally or there they will be hobbled because they’re no longer able to use a bunch of other data so seems like this will decrease the efficacy of e-commerce people that are using Facebook as a channel is that, is that kind of how it all ties together. Jason: [26:56] Potentially I think it’s definitely fair to say that Facebook is kind of that odd man out in all these games right because essentially we haven’t really. Explicitly said this but there’s there’s this interesting conflict between two popular Trends right right, there’s a there’s a popular privacy Trend in the world where users are saying we should have more privacy and big corporations shouldn’t be allowed to do a bunch of stuff with our data and monetize us without our permission right so there’s kind of you know a lot of laws that have been passed in California and Europe that you know kind of impact how we all do business on the web that are more privacy Centric and so you, um and Google Apple and Facebook have all been sued, um for violations of these privacy laws right and and some of the things they’ve explicitly been sued for are these mechanisms like third-party cookies and idfa advertising, and so one way to avoid getting sued is to, make these more privacy Centric changes right and so you know if you asked them if you ask Google and and apple why they’re making these changes it’s because. Because users want privacy and we don’t think that you know these things are the right thing to do would be there kind of. Like not completely credible self-serving. Scot: [28:17] Yeah they want to know legislations coming and they’ve kind of want to get in front of it like you can either you can be legislated or you can solve. Jason: [28:24] And that is for sure the talking point and that it has the added advantage of being at least partially true right, but the the second huge Trend in the world the I know is your favorite topic of all times is antitrust right and, like are there certain companies that have this monopolistic power and they’re so powerful that they can do things that aren’t in a, in a consumers best interest and there are a lot of people that accuse. [28:52] Apple and Google of using their their alleged Monopoly power, in in this privacy dispute right right because for example, Google the main Google ad product is buying ads that show up in search results on Google right and those are not impacted by any of the changes we just talked about right if you type Lexus into a search term, Google can show you a Lexus ad and they make a fortune. [29:24] Doing that right and so they’re they’re collecting unique information about Scott searches and. Selling ads to advertisers based on your search Behavior, um what they’re what they’re saying is other people shouldn’t be allowed to do that using web browsing behavior in the same way we do it for search Behavior right and, um a lot of people would say Google built this huge business they that business enabled them to get a ton of traffic and now that they have a ton of traffic and users are locked into their echo system, now they’re making it way harder for anyone else to come behind them and do what they did right. Apple equally like one of the kind of Nefarious things and all this is Apple, sells ads you can buy an ad in the App Store. Shows up in search to try to entice users to install your mobile app that you then make money on right and, the number one place you’re competing with for that ad is an ad on Facebook to get you to install an, and so what is Apple doing they’re making it way harder for Facebook to sell an ad to get you to install an app but it’s exactly. [30:39] Equal I mean it’s exactly as easy as it’s always been for Apple to sell you that ad and so, the there’s this weird conflict between antitrust and privacy and apple and. Google are both rapping their themselves in the flags of privacy and potentially getting a little more smelly an antitrust, and Facebook is the odd man out here right because, privacy is controlled by the echo system the browser echo system in the mobile app ecosystem right so Google is the big winner because they have a mobile app and a browser the biggest browser, um Apple has the most valuable mobile ecosystem Facebook has neither right so they’ve been a huge beneficiary of, of programmatic ads and tracking consumers to create better add products and monetizing their customer base and now they’re their Destiny is the least in their own hands because, all of that data you know is is going through these these doors that are controlled by. By their there sometimes Rivals Apple and Google and so you know one way I like to talk about this. These companies built these huge businesses and they’re trying to make it harder for people to follow in their footsteps it’s kind of like they climbed up a really tall ladder and now that they’re the top of the hill they’re pulling up the ladder behind them so that no one can follow them. Scot: [32:07] Yes so Apple and Google or winners in this because they just control so much and then Facebook is going to be under pressure but there. Ginormous so they’ll be fine but it’s you know there’s an argument to be made it will stifle innovation in this this whole world because you know it’s going to get it almost impossible for another ecosystem to be born at this point because the new rules favor the the existing folks. Jason: [32:33] Yeah so the way they think of that is definitely Facebook is a loser compared to Apple and Google in these changes but the only compared to those two compared to anyone else, Facebook has this huge Advantage because they have a ton of their own users and they still get to collect first-party data about their own users when they’re on. Facebook great so so a way bigger loser would be Conde Nast like someone that produces content and tries to monetize that content through ads, the doesn’t have near the user base that Facebook has right so all of these content publishers. Get more hurt by this than Facebook does and who gets more hurt than any of them is, some new startup content Venture that that you know is going to be born tomorrow and it’s going to be much harder for them to build their business than it was the incumbents. Scot: [33:23] Because the Publishers are almost all getting the optimization of their ads through either an app kind of a thing like we’ve talked about or through third-party cookies so they’re getting kind of the effectively ad-supported content is going to be under a ton of pressure. Jason: [33:38] Exactly and and that’s particularly where yeah the third party cookies come in is the. A lot of the ads you see on all those Publishers are placed by Google or Facebook using these look like audiences and and the third party cookies so that’s one of the. The services that gets be diminished, as third party cookies are less popular and increasingly people are consuming a lot of content and news through mobile apps, so they would use the idfa to do those same services and and so the all of those things are breaking if if you were a mobile app. Um that that monetized yourself by selling ads in your mobile app as many games for example do. It’s the ads you can sell are going to be way less valuable after idfa is opt-in than they are today and so like yeah. Scot: [34:33] Yeah how about user behavior let’s say I’m Best Buy and I have an app out there and I’ve got all this cool tracking where you know. Maybe log in and out who you are but maybe you don’t log in and I try to do some personalization or something or even I have a little ad Network inside of there what’s going to broke break in the Best Buy app if someone this idfa thing goes into effect I get that question and the way they’re working the question it’s essentially like you know do you want to sell your soul to the devil yes or no so so I assume a lot of people are going to say no do you have a point of view on how many people will say yes or no. Jason: [35:07] Yeah so it’s all speculation and in the beta the the language has changed a bunch of times and so how, the language matters a lot in the likelihood of opting in, um so for example like same question it’s the same idfa question if I say this website uses your behavior across the web to improve your customer experience can I continue, um [35:34] A lot of people will say sure but if the if the question says this website tracks you across a bunch of other websites and uses that to sell ads to you. Um Can can they continue to track the way you’re going to say no it’s. So so the vernacular matters a lot it started out in these betas more friendly and it’s getting more overt. I don’t think that that we’ve landed on the final language I actually do believe that in the release the Publishers going to be able to make a case for why you should opt in so I think they’re going to be able to provide some of the language, but the text on the button they don’t get to control and the text on the button right now is pretty negative it says. Wow to track it doesn’t say like enable experience or anything like that it says like allowed attract and viscerally people don’t want to get trapped, so today the estimates are that about seventy percent of people have idfa turned on because you, it’s opt out you’d have to opt out to not do it the. [36:49] The speculation is that only 10 or 15 percent of users will click allow to track now. Some of that is Chicken Little saying the the sky is falling right like Facebook is saying no one’s going to opt into that, because they’re arguing in favor of changing it and not doing it right and so they’re trying to paint the most dire version of this for now I don’t know if they really believe that diversion or not but that that that’s kind of the order of magnitude we could go from. Fifteen percent of the mobile apps having users that are identified or 70% having apps that are identifiable to 10. Scot: [37:28] Got it okay back to my Best by example sorry so so now I’m Best Buy I’ve spent billions of dollars in this awesome app and yeah I pop up this thing that says hey we’re going to try to offer you a custom experience and then the button says allow tracking then you know most people say no what’s going to happen to my Best Buy up like what’s you know what am I going to lose as the retailer. Jason: [37:51] Yeah so the in the app a couple of things like you. You there maybe retargeting app ads in some mobile apps right so maybe you read The Wall Street Journal in a mobile app. Maybe you read it through Apple news feed or you read it through Google news or some other app, um their best by may have popped up a retargeting add-on that in that mobile app when it sees that you had a Sony PlayStation 5 in your box and they finally got them back in stock. Hypothetical because I know they don’t have any the. So the their ability to do those retargeting ads in other apps goes away the, but the bigger deal I would argue for retailers and their mobile apps is, the the amount of insight they get about their users goes away right so at the moment when your opted in and you’ve installed the Best Buy app on your phone Best Buy can use that idfa to see what other apps you run, and so they can build. [39:04] Profiles of you that they put in their customer database what they would call their CDP their customer data profile, that you know say hey Scott is a Best Buy Rewards member he has the Best Buy Mobile app installed and we also know that he spends an awful lot of time in Pokemon. [39:23] And so that they may find other hypothetically speaking of course, and so they may find that like oh there are other other people in Scotts age bracket that are also rewards members and and spend a lot of time in Pokemon do this and so. They could use that in a whole variety of ways so it gives them, less visibility about their users I would argue that the third-party cookie changes more material for a wholesale retailer like Best Buy than the idfa changes because just to be honest. Outside of a few retailers it’s a very small percentage of a Retailer’s traffic comes through a mobile app retailers haven’t been super successful at getting. Getting their mobile app used but if you’re a publisher and particularly if you’re a gain in the game industry, um the or if you’re in advertising and particularly if you’re advertising for installation and mobile apps those are all the. The segments that are likely to get most wall up by idfa. Scot: [40:29] Cool that is a good segue because it wouldn’t be a Jason Scott show if we didn’t talk about Amazon. So Amazon is the one retailer you know you and I are we get a lot of the data and when you look at the comps core data their app is kind of in the pole position it’s always the highest use retail app they’ve said, think publicly that you know over half of their volume comes from the Apple app or the Amazon App what’s the impact to Amazon on both the app side and then also if they lose this third-party cookie thing what happens to Amazon. Jason: [41:06] So there are negatives for Amazon in both, so again because they have way more mobile app users then than others they get to they’ll lose some insight that they’re gaining right now about a big chunk of their customer base, um they do run a bunch of ads all over the Internet and so they’ll have a little less visibility about how those customers are behaving on on third-party sites but, all of that is outweighed by the fact that. It actually makes buying an ad from Amazon way more valuable right so when when. The idfa and the third party cookies are really about. Um using behavior on one property to Target a user on another property, and fundamentally when that practice goes away then the best advertisers are going to be the ones that have the most eyeballs on their own properties, and the the cust the companies that know the most about those users about those eyeballs right and so you think about. Scot: [42:22] And they have ads inside their property to it. Jason: [42:24] Exactly and exactly so those those are called first-party ads and like they’re not affected by any of these changes so Amazon can still use. Every browsing behavior and purchase Behavior you’ve ever done in the Amazon Echo System on their website or their app too. [42:43] Run their own ads to you when you’re on an Amazon property or run any other advertiser’s ads for you while they’re on their own property right and so what happens is, when the the open internet becomes harder to advertise on because of all these changes. Um you’re more likely to want to buy ads in a Walled Garden where the ad network has a bunch of data about their users so you’re more likely to buy an ad that shows up on Facebook. For Facebook users you’re more likely to buy a search ad on Google in their first party echo system and you’re way more likely to buy an ad on Amazon, because you’re your ability to do cross-site advertising on Conde Nast content sites gets diminished so. I would I would argue that well there’s some I’m sure there’s some negatives for an Amazon and some annoyances net-net, it’s going to dry consolidate more advertising on to Amazon and and help them more to a lesser extent, it actually makes it more appealing for other very large retailers to lean into their own advertising networks for that same reason so I would also argue, Walmart for example is a beneficiary, of this trend and you and we’ve seen them in the last year making huge investments in selling selling their ads they’re not as successful as Amazon. [44:07] Their upside is actually as big or bigger than Amazon because they can also sell ads and now do, two customers that walk in a Walmart store they show ads on the self-service checkout and they show ads on the TV wall and you can buy programmatic ads and all of those things through Walmart connect which is kind of their version of, Amazon marketing. Scot: [44:31] Publisher thing was interesting because it almost made me think well if I’m Amazon I go to Conde Nast and say Let me let me host your content and I can actually, monetize it for you and you know I know Google and you know to some extent Facebook do that through that that accelerator you thing what does that three letter acronym for it where they do it because they claim it’s faster right. But I wonder if you think you think that’s going to be part of what this does is it starts. Jason: [45:00] It does it gives them leverage to keep more users on their echo system and it potentially Force other people to, Syndicate experiences and content to them that otherwise might not want to do that right and so, for sure like Amazon is a significant Publishers you know like they have their own you know the wildly popular TV channel and am in Prime video, and now they’re doing live streaming video and they’re doing all these these and twitch that they already are a publisher so it’s it’ll be Supernatural for them too, to leverage this endemic Advantage the another Super interesting impact along those same lines is, today Facebook was perfectly happy to run an ad on its Network and then send you to a Shopify site to buy something. [45:51] Right because they using third-party cookies they could actually know that you bought that thing on on the Shopify site and tell that Advertiser that they had worked, um and and they had a nice little Echo System well with third-party cookies going away it’s actually way better for Facebook to say you know what we should be selling stuff on Facebook and so in in my mind. Increases the priority on Facebook to capture the Commerce activity, on their platform because otherwise they look at Amazon catch nipping at their heels and saying oh my God Amazon’s running a lot more about their their consumers in their Walled Garden and we are in our Walled Garden and we’re going to keep leaking advertisers from Facebook to Amazon and so I think. Facebook had already figured this out but I think this like really accelerates Facebook’s need to win endemic Commerce and I would argue in the long run, that’s that’s not super favorable to Shopify because there’s a ton of the D to see companies that, that have been most successful on Shopify like their primary source of traffic is buying ads on Facebook and increasingly Facebook is going to want to say hey let’s close those sales on Facebook. Scot: [47:04] Yes one of the reasons I really want to talk about this because I started to read some articles that are. And I can’t tell how Chicken Little they are but they’re essentially saying you know look a big chunk of the Shopify world is going to be the attacked so supervised getting attacked from Amazon we’ve talked generally you know we’ve talked about this and you and I have different opinions of how, how that’s going to happen but I think I think we all agree that Amazon has Shopify in their sights but now you have effectively Facebook’s been a good partner for Shopify, but this change caused by Apple has a domino effect that if I’m now Facebook I want to cut Shopify out of that because I want to own the checkout so that’s another side and then you know. Some large percentage of Shopify sales are driven through these DMV bees and these brands that are by influencers that are really living off of either the third-party cookie to track that stuff, or the you know the idfa changes it’s an app it’s going to change pretty dramatically is there a way to. First of all do you agree with that and then second you know is this a 2% thing is this like half of half of Shopify I know they don’t disclose it but I’m just kind of wondering. Jason: [48:21] Yeah I don’t think there’s any way. Scot: [48:22] Scale of them packed. Jason: [48:23] For really know and and again like this I think the. The force behavioral changes are going to be pretty significant, whether that Force Behavior change like really Wallop Shopify or not I think is even harder to predict and like again at the moment like everybody’s crying pop or right and it’s a little bit like, everybody who’s under antitrust investigation you know says oh my gosh if we’re forced to split up like it’s going to be the worst outcome for consumers ever, um and internally they may or may not really believe that but they want to paint the most dire picture so that you know they can mitigate what happens to them, a lot of that’s happening right now right so I you know Facebook is saying hey an individual advertisers ad Effectiveness might go down by 50% because of this change. So Scot: [49:16] But it’s Amplified because they’re trying to make the same worsens. Jason: [49:19] Yeah but they’re they are painting the worst-case pit picture and what they really mean is, a Facebook ad that’s not on Facebook right which is like seven percent of Facebook sad so, so seven percent of their ads might go down by 50% and but the as they’re on Facebook might be a little less effective because Facebook gets a little less data but it’s probably not as bad so. I think it’s hard. Um quantify these things but I do think it’s it’s potentially in a hate to use this word but like I think it potentially is a paradigm shift for some of these things and just just. Scot: [49:57] A paradigm shift we need an audio for paradigm shift. Jason: [50:00] Yeah we’ll have to get one of those but I do I think fundamentally like you have this open web and there’s this like notion of, of interoperability between multiple sites and experiences across multiple sites and and as these privacy changes get locked down essentially what it does is it says. The best most effective experiences are going to be, for users inside of a Walled Garden and an inside of a large well-established wild garden the got built before these changes were implemented so it’s really favorable to the incumbents, it’s really favorable to the the kind of fang. Um guys of you will and I and you know they were already winning but I do think this this makes it harder to imagine. You know some some new version of Instagram emerging and growing really big really fast or Tick Tock you know or you know monetizing as quickly or any of those kinds of things so. It’s. Scot: [51:00] Do you think it’ll be like a severe enough that like it’s interesting you mentioned Fang because the in and Fang is Netflix and you know they have a massive amount of first-party data right so you know are they going to add like some publisher e kinds of things because they have all this data. Jason: [51:15] I bet you they are all all of the good walled Gardens are right now saying hey some of that money that’s getting broken that was out in the rest of the internet like how do I get you know it’s more than my fair share of that. Scot: [51:27] Right so we got some good stock picks from Jason straight away here. Jason: [51:33] Yeah yeah side side out yeah I’m the world’s worst stock picker. Scot: [51:39] Don’t take Financial advice from a chief digital retail idfa officer. Jason: [51:44] Yeah you probably shouldn’t even take like digital Commerce advice from you for sure should not take stock advice. Scot: [51:50] But here you are listening this show okay. Jason: [51:52] I put all my money and get spiffy franchises. Scot: [51:55] Awesome summer okay where do we go from here so I think that’s all interesting but let’s project forward a little bit you know cookies they’re kind of on their deathbed mobile app tracking is all this. Open internet going to more clothes internet what were some of the Alternatives that are people and then I saw Google also just announced not only at the Chrome level but just generally they’re going to get rid of. Tracking old school tracking. But then they talked about this new thing which is kind of like some machine learning thing will just kind of assign you it was even keep your like because the machine will just decide. Jason: [52:28] Yeah it has an awesome acronym but I’ll wait to unveil it for a. Scot: [52:31] Okay alright where do we go from here and be sure to highlight all the awesome acronyms. Jason: [52:36] Yeah so there’s a couple of alternatives to cookies right like so what. The fundamentally the cookie got processed in a server and so what Google is saying is we think I’m more privacy Centric way is, to keep all the personal data on the on the browser and never send it to the server so so a lot of these ships are too kind of move from server based solutions to browser-based Solutions, um the and I’ll come back to Google specific alternative in a minute as we already talked about like what this does a ton is push people onto walled Gardens for all of these highly targeted advertising networks because they get to all. Um work with their first party data and nothing really changes. [53:21] There are a bunch of third parties that have what I like to call real ID systems and so. Side note cookies always suck they were they were highly imperfect we treated them like they were a person but they weren’t they were a, a specific browser and a lot of people ran three browsers on their laptop and then they also had a different browser on their mobile device, and oh by the way they may have set cookies to get deleted every two weeks or whatever like so cookies were pretty broken before and could only track you on the web, so the big evil marketing Geniuses would say, hey let’s make our own serial number for Scot wingo and let’s collect a ton of data about him, um across all of his devices and let’s by data from the Publishers about how he behaves on the publisher site and let’s buy data from the credit card companies about how he spends money and we can build this huge. Um database about Scot Wingo not some random cookie but about Scot wingo and then we can use that data to Target Scott so, said the big evil ad tech companies have have these real ID systems and so. [54:33] There’s a company called trade desk that has the unified ID they’re partnering with Walmart now live ramp is a big data provider and they have this authenticated traffic solution, and my evil corporate overlords own a huge data provider called Epsilon and we have a product called core ID so so a lot of us are saying hey we have a better idea system then, then idfa or third-party cookies anyway and and side note Google, published a letter last week saying we think like we’re not going to ban those approaches but we don’t think those approaches are very customer privacy Centric and we don’t like them, so there now is a dispute about the future of those but that you can buy those services from from any of these marketing agencies. In the short run they’re certainly going to benefit from the these more popular options going away. [55:31] A lot of people used to do what’s called browser fingerprinting which is they used a lot of signals from your browser to identify you without your cookies that’s mostly been banned by privacy laws so we won’t see a lot of that. Um there’s increasingly this thing called clean rooms where a publisher and an advertising Network might bring their their uniquely personally identifiable data together too, too kind of a, a safe room that’s not on the internet and temporarily merge their data to build a targeting cohort or to build some some cross-channel analytics take the insight and then both take their data and leave so that they never kind of. Give the other party a chance to see your steal their data but they get to marry their data temporarily so so there’s a lot of products kind of, that are leveraging these clean rooms to do kind of batch processing now that we can’t do this real-time third party cookies and then the. The the Google approach is to do what we what I would generally call cohorts so instead of saying hey we’re going to advertise uniquely to Scot Wingo because we know he’s a car Enthusiast and we’re going to show him Alexis. [56:42] Google is going to build a cohort of people that it thinks are in the cars. And it’s not gonna put that cohort on a server it’s going to put a store your membership in that cohort on your browser, so an ad can pop up for Scott that’s a car ad in the car company can buy an ad for just people that have a high affinity for cars. [57:05] The. No personally identifiable information about Scott ever get sent to a server only Scott’s browser knows to show him that ad and so Google calls this kind of browser-based cohort, um a Federated learning of cohorts and they’re using machine learning to build them and so that the that F loc is an acronym flock f f loc and so Google’s, official replacement for third-party cookies is the advertisers can buy, ads based on on these these machine learning Black Box generated machine learning cohorts called flock. Scot: [57:50] Okay Federated learning of coal that just rolls right up I like Flock better than Federated learning of many. Jason: [57:58] The idea is just that like hey there’s going to be some taxonomy on your browser and there’s going to be a checkbox next to things that your browser thinks you’re interested in, and then those are the things that you know they’re going to be like ads that only trigger when when your browser has one of those boxes. Scot: [58:17] Got it okay awesome, so as is our custom at the Jason Scott show we’re kind of getting past time but and you’ve talked about a lot of implications but it’s probably a good kind of summary to kind of walk through all right you know so listeners out there they are they’re loving the Deep dive what’s this mean for e-commerce world and then also the larger add world and the internet. Jason: [58:42] Well so I think it is likely that a lot of digital ads a lot of programmatic digital ads are likely to be. Either a little or a lot less effective than they were before and so the net impact of that is the amount that an Advertiser should be willing to pay for one of those ads should go down so the. So CPM rates for advertisers will go down and in general what that means is if you built your business based on selling ads you gave away your game for free but you show Dads in the, in that game you gave away your content for free on your new site but you sold ads in that content. [59:21] That ad based business model is less attractive than it used to be so I suspect, that one impact we’re going to see is a lot of people are going to Pivot from ad based business models to Alternatives right so that meat might mean. [59:36] Some newspapers that were on the fence about ad-based or pay walls are more likely to move to pay walls because, the ad model Works glass it means a lot of people that use Dad’s to find you and sell you one thing I’m more likely to focus on. Customer lifetime value they’re more likely to want to sell you a subscription they’re more likely to want to lock you into a platform because all of these kind of, one-time ad-based sales are just more expensive less effective than they used to be so I think those are kind of some of the, the key changes I do think this cleanroom thing you know continues to grow and overall the big winners are the people that have the most first-party data have the most traffic to their own property so the walled Gardens the the big retailers, ten to win. You know I think this privacy versus antitrust thing is gonna you know get really ugly and play out in terms in all kinds of governmental actions and legislative actions and things and who knows how any of that, that plays out. And I doubt Facebook gets creamed by any of this but they you know they do probably slightly lose to Apple and Google and all these changes. Scot: [1:00:56] Well it is happened again we’ve used up all our allotted time for listeners that are with us and and enjoying these deep Dives we would love to get your review, you know the the best place to review this is over on iOS in the Apple podcast listener so even if you listen somewhere else head over there leave us a review we would really appreciate that if you like this kind of content that’s what keeps us going Jason appreciate having you on the show this week if people want to track you on the internet or learn more about this this idfa topic work in the where would you send them. Jason: [1:01:34] Yeah well they should listen to the Jason and Scott Show podcast first and foremost but you know you can also always find me on Twitter under under retailgeek and, just a quick disclaimer the Jason Scott showed doesn’t track you or know you in any way and never will so. Exactly so we but we sure do appreciate you listening and until next time happy Commercing.

In the last episode I talked about multiplayer games and the hardware/tablets you could play them on. In this episode it is all about the games, multiplayer and some single player (although if there is every a head to head crossword game, I am going to try and win it all!). Playing games with family and friends remotely may be a great option to stay in touch, make some fun memories and also have some fun which helps reduce anxiety and stress! I took an amalgamation of categories from iTunes, Google Play and Amazon App store to walk through 19 different types of games and examples of games for each category. It is not a complete list, but a good start and I always want to hear of cool games to play! I really hope this podcast and the last episode help increase happiness in everyone as we all go through this difficult time together! Enjoy and play as many games as possible, but watch out for in-app purchases, you don't get the money back even if you hit the super grand jackpot in casino slots!

NowBoarding, your daily travel news in 7 minutes or less. I’m your host, Ed Pizza, and I bring you news on the latest travel deals and travel news you need to know Monday through Friday. No more worrying about missing out on the best deals. Give us a couple of minutes every day and we’ll make sure you’ve got the best info. Plenty of Black Friday stuff to talk about today. There are so many travel deals out there right now. No matter how you like to travel, there’s a deal for you. If you’re looking for one place to follow on Black Friday to get the full picture, check out the Black Friday command center at Deals We Like. You can find a link to it in the show notes. If your Black Friday plan was to do all your shopping on Amazon, you may be targeted for an offer to save $60 if you make all your purchases through the Amazon App. Miles to Memories has all the details. If you’re in the market for a new laptop, there’s an unbelievable price on the MacBook Air right now. I’m used to paying $1,000 or more for these machines for my employees. Today, we’re seeing a price under $700. And, if you stack all the available offers out there, you might be able to get it under $600. For those of you who may not be ninja wizards when it comes to redeeming miles and points, you probably shy away from airline programs you don’t know much about. No Mas Coach lays out the reasons why you should be thinking about Asiana Club. I’ll give you one example to consider. United charges 60,000 miles one-way in business class from North America to Europe, unless you get stung by their new close-in booking fee, or their new dynamic award charts. Asiana will sell you that same business class seat for 40,000 miles. Definitely worth looking into, especially if you have a bunch of Marriott Bonvoy points. Thinking about planning a family cruise? Cruise expert Gene Sloan breaks down the price comparison between Disney, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. Our family enjoys cruising, with multiple cruises on Royal and Disney. Without doing the math, I was pretty sure Disney was much more expensive than Royal Caribbean. Gene has all the math to back that up. Two quick hits to finish us off. TAP Portugal has a 20% off Black Friday coupon that runs all weekend. If you’re located near a US destination for TAP, they can be a great way to get to Europe. With their Western European hub in Lisbon, they can be a great connecting point to the rest of Europe. Lisbon is also an incredible city and a great place to build in a stopover. And, if you’re into playing the lottery on Black Friday, Expedia and Priceline have free shots at big discounts. Expedia is giving away a limited supply of 75% off coupons if you book through their app. And, Priceline is giving away mystery coupons, with some being 99% off a hotel stay. Jen has all those details in her master post on all the Black Friday travel deals. You’ll find that in the show notes. That’s a full wrap on today’s travel news. I hope you guys will let me know what you think of the new show format. It’s going to be a lot of work to put together a daily show, but I’m committed to it if everyone finds it valuable. If you’ve got a piece of travel news that you think I should feature on NowBoarding, you can e-mail me at ed@pizzainmotion.com, or find me on social media, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. And, you can find me blogging daily at pizzainmotion.com. Hey, since we’re still getting started on this new format, you can do me a big favor and leave me a review on whatever podcast platform you’re listening to. Reviews and ratings are a huge part of what helps us reach a larger audience. And, if you’re enjoying the show, please tell a friend. That’s your travel news in 7 minutes or less. I hope you’ll join us again on a future flight!

Amazon Seller App Special Features for FBA Sellers What is the Amazon Seller App? Amazon app is available on all platforms, from iTunes to Google play or Android devices. The App is 100% free to download and you will never be asked for a credit card to pay for any other fees. Once you get the app it will ask you to choose a country and ask for your Amazon Seller Central login. Be sure to log in to the country where you are selling, although, after you log in, you have the option to select all countries where you have an active Amazon Seller account. Now that you are inside the App, you will find a graphic with your sales. You can set this to show your daily sales, weekly, monthly or even the last 30 days sales. On the top bar, it will also show you seller feedback your daily balance and the total balance since you last got paid. (this is only true if you are already selling on Amazon). Most sellers don't really get to enjoy the full service provided by the Amazon App, because this is actually a piece of technological art! Let's get to more of the functionality because I am already getting excited to talk about these features. The App will analyze your sales, fulfill orders, find products to sell, manage offers and inventory, receive messages and allow you to reply it will let you take and edit professional quality product photos and will add a 100% white background on them, according to TOS And you can create listings right from your smartphone or tablet! The Amazon Seller app helps you: … Access your PPC right on the Advertising campaign Manager. In here you can change your Ad budgets, check your CPC, track the ACOS, pause your campaigns or individual ads and you can even go as far as looking at all the keywords you are bidding for and tracking their profitability. Contacting seller support is also possible inside the Seller App, and you have every single option you would see while on your desktop. Did I mention that you can manage your FBA inventory inside the Amazon App? Yes, that's right, you can! Now, on the top left of your app, you will see 3 lines that will give you access to another menu… in this menu, you can choose what country you want to track or manage, here is where you can also take the pictures with white background for your listing (Although I recommend professional pictures) And now that you have that menu open, if you look to the top right, you will see another menu in the shape of a gear! This gear will allow to chose from all your accounts( If you have more than one, or even if you are managing a client's account) And at the same time, you can change the country of that second or third account and do all your tasks in that platform as well. Remember: Start Grateful, Stay Positive and Always Profit Quin Amorim

EU-Kommissarin Vestager auf dem Web Summit Technik und Politik führen eine komplizierte Beziehung. So scheint es nur auf den ersten Blick überraschend, dass eine Politikerin, die sich mit Tech-Größen anlegt, auf dem Web Summit mit tosendem Applaus begrüßt wird. Margrethe Vestager, als EU-Wettbewerbskommissarin derzeit Googles härteste Gegnerin, hat vor der versammelten Tech-Branche für ihre Politik geworben. "Technik ist eine starke Macht, die viel Gutes schaffen kann", sagte Vestager am Dienstag in Lissabon. "Aber mit viel Macht geht auch ein großes Risiko einher." Dieses Risiko müsse eingehegt werden, um das Potenzial der technischen Entwicklung für alle gewinnbringend nutzen zu können, meinte Vestager – und es sei Aufgabe der Politik, Regeln aufzustellen. Umbau der Kraftwerksparte sorgt bei Siemens für Millionenverluste Siemens hat im vierten Quartal einen deutlichen Gewinnrückgang von 46 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahresquartal hinnehmen müssen. Verantwortlich dafür ist die Sparte Power & Gas, in der weltweit mehrere Tausend Stellen abgebaut werden. Hier brach der Gewinn allein um etwa drei Viertel ein. Zusätzlich entstanden im vierten Quartal durch den Stellenabbau Kosten von rund 386 Millionen Euro. Googles Maßnahmen gegen Online-Piraterie zeigen Erfolg In seinem Bericht "Wie Google Piraterie bekämpft" erklärt das Unternehmen, welche Programme und Techniken es gegen Urheberrechtsverstöße im Netz einsetzt. Durch die Maßnahmen will Google sicherstellen, dass Kreative und Rechteinhaber mit ihren Inhalten weiterhin gutes Geld verdienen. Offenbar ist Google bei der Bekämpfung von Online-Piraterie erfolgreich: Sie nehme weltweit ab, während die Ausgaben für legale Inhalte über alle Inhaltskategorien zunehmen, heißt es. Amazon probiert Geschenk-Schaufenster in Berlin aus Amazon will im anstehenden Weihnachtsgeschäft ein Schaufenster in der realen Welt ausprobieren. Ein #HomeofChristmas Pop-up-Store am Berliner Kurfürstendamm soll fünf Tage lang Geschenkideen zum online kaufen zeigen. Die Artikel können vor Ort ausprobiert und per Einscannen von QR-Codes in der Amazon-App bestellt werden. Auf Wunsch erhalten potenzielle Kunden auch eine Beratung, erläutert Amazon.

This week on a new episode of Mainly Mobile, Michael realizes that the Amazon App store isn't always a bargain, and admits that after speaking to Greg Johnson last episode, he has become addicted to Jetpack Joyride.  A brand new Tony Hawk game has been announced for mobile and for consoles, although the previously announced Tony Hawk's Shred Session seems to be put on hold indefinitely.

It is an amazing way to get games you could either not afford, or would not normally buy and discover new ones! From mobile games, to PC games, and even books and comics. This website does amazing work for charity while allowing gamers to get new games on the cheap. Win/Win.   Be sure to follow us on twitter, @MainlyMobile and @MichaelLothian

On this episode of Travel in 10 we will be talking with Travel TV Show host Scott Wilson about his newest show DESCENDING.
