If you're like most people you don't think about the used car market very often.  Only when you might want to sell your car and buy a new one does this market come across your radar.However although we might not see, it used cars are a huge market, and at present, a very lucrative one too!So not surprisingly, it's seen advancements in digitization that is helping facilitate buying and selling, as well as taking  what used to be a very localised market (typically a listing on Craig's List or something similar) and expanding it regionally and nationally.Like so many industries these days the used car business is enjoying the benefits of more sophisticated online marketplaces.Still, the process of buying and selling a car is not as smooth as it could be.Quinn Osha, founder and CEO of Topmarq, is changing that.  His company focuses on improving the user experience for both buyers and sellers so that both can avoid those endless pesky back and forth phone calls or messages that are typically part of the sales process.In this podcast Quinn shares:# What changes have take place in automotivesales during the last two years.# Why car prices have surged - even for used cars.# How digitization is revolutionising the car business - for dealers and individuals.USEFUL LINKS:Top Mark website: https://www.topmarq.com/Connect with Quinn Osha:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/quinn-osha/Inside Fashion's website:  https://insidefashionlive.netInside Fashion Briefings:  https://insidefashionlive.net/january-2022-briefings/A Seat at The Table website:  https://seat.fmContact us at A Seat at The Table:  https://seat.fm/contact-us

Today it seems like everyone is talking about downsizing.  People are really taking the saying ‘less is more' to heart.In a reversal of a decades long trend where it seemed as if even too much wasn't enough, now a growing number of people are looking to get rid of all those things that they don't they need.One area where this has become evident is in housing.  The old days where people wanted to trade up to the largest place they could afford are seemingly gone.  Now it's all about smaller homes.But what's changed? Why are people looking to trade their big homes for something smaller - often times a lot smaller?If you want to learn more about the small house movement then the person to ask is Sheri Koones.While most people were still thinking that that bigger was better, Sheri was publishing the first in her series of books on small houses.As we now know, she was ahead of the curve.  She's a bestselling author and acknowledged international expert not only on small houses, but also on more sustainable construction practices.And in case you were wondering, and I know I was, these new smaller homes can be just as luxurious and customised as bigger houses.In this podcast Sheri talks about:# What's driving the move to downsizing.# Why prefab construction is the next big thing.# How going smaller doesn't mean trading down.USEFUL LINKSSheri Koones' website:   https://www.sherikoones.comConnect with Sheri Koones: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheri-koones-1966a55/Inside Fashion's Briefings: https://insidefashionlive.net/january-2022-briefings/Inside Fashion's website:  https://insidefashionlive.netA Seat at The Table website:   https://seat.fmContact us at A Seat at The Table:  https://seat.fm/contact-us/

One of the great things about technology is that it has leveled the playing field, giving even small businesses access tools that used to be only available to the big players.Despite that fact technology is more accessible than ever before, it seems that many companies - particularly small to medium sized suppliers - are still not taking advantage of it.It turns out that most SME's look at digital solutions and think ‘only the big players can afford this.  Those systems are not for companies like ours. We're too small.'Today I'm talking with Bernard Hor, Co-founder of Hatio Group, a digital supply chain platform for Asian SMEs.   With over decade of experience working with Asian-based companies, he understands the challenges they face and has seen first hand the huge impact that digitisation can have on their business.In this episode Bernard talks about:# How to get started digitising your supply chain.# Why you need to start small to be big.# The big wins that SME's can expect from digitising their supply chains.USEFUL LINKS:Hatio Group website:  https://hatio.asiaBernard Hor:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/behor/Inside Fashion website:  https://insidefashionlive.netA Seat at The Table website:  https://seat.fmContact us at A Seat at The Table:  https://seat.fm/contact-us

Inside Fashion Marketing by Zalando Marketing Services (ZMS) - the fashion marketing podcast with Andreas Antrup, Senior Vice President Advertising of Zalando and Managing Director of ZMS. Find snackable inspiration for fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands as well as retailers.

BoF’s Imran Amed discusses transparency, cooperation and disruption with Dries Van Noten, Anya Hindmarch and Stefano Martinetto, leaders of two early pandemic initiatives — The Forum and Rewiring Fashion — to share thinking on the role of independent fashion brands and retailers amidst the biggest crisis in the history of the modern fashion industry. The fashion industry has long been operating in a cyclically inefficient and anti-creative way. Issues like waste, early discounts, power imbalances and a suboptimal, wholesale-controlled calendar hurt brands at every level, as well as consumers. But when the Covid-19 pandemic prompted lockdowns around the world in early 2020, the industry was put on pause. In response, two initiatives, Forum and the BoF-facilitated Rewiring Fashion, emerged to make this period one of retrospection and discussion in hopes of bringing about systematic change. In the latest episode of Inside Fashion, which features a conversation from VOICES 2020, BoF’s Imran Amed sits down with Van Noten, as well as Anya Hindmarch and Stefano Martinetto, co-founder and chief executive of Tomorrow London to discuss the lessons the industry has learned during the pandemic and how that new perspective will shape its future. Candour has never been one of the industry’s priorities or strengths, which has hampered progress in the past. Hindmarch emphasises that there is a power to coming together. “You solve problems by not just thinking about yourself but collaborating as an industry,” she said. Thanks to the rise of e-commerce and the convenience economy, storytelling is more important than ever for luxury brands. “Just showing clothes and that’s it, forget it. That’s not going to work anymore… I think we have to offer different things,” said Van Noten. “We have to tell a story to show why the clothes are more expensive than high street labels, you have to give the whole package of support to people who come to the store.” Wholesale retail is changing — hopefully, to allow more space for creativity and development of strong products. Hindmarch thinks that wholesalers still have an important, localised role that helps designers connect with their buyers in a personal way. Martinetto believes shifts are for the better. He said: “The notion that wholesale is dying is most appropriately defined as ‘bad wholesale is dying.’” Related Articles: Dries Van Noten’s ‘Forum’ and ‘Rewiring Fashion’ Join Forces to Rebuild the Fashion System DTC vs Wholesale: Striking the Right Balance The BoF Podcast: Dries Van Noten on Making Retail Meaningful in the Pandemic   To contact The Business of Fashion with comments, questions or speaker ideas please email podcast@businessoffashion.com.   Sign up for BoF’s Daily Digest newsletter.   Ready to become a BoF Professional?

In recent years retail has gotten a bad rap - especially fashion retail.Too often stores have fallen into a slump, neglected by management's shift in attention to building up their e-commerce channels.  And just as often because brands have too many stores and too little revenue to maintain them all properly.That's led to a rash of retail closures in many key markets around the world.But is retail really fated to become just a memory of ‘the way we used to shop?'Or can the right people with a vision and the drive to bring it to fruition and rejuvenate retail into a dynamic place where today's consumers want to shop?I'm Jane Singer and welcome to A Seat at the Table.Today I'm speaking with Ron Thurston, retail expert and author, and a champion of physical retail.Ron is Vice President of stores for Intermix and has a decades long career of working with leading brands and driving retail excellence from visual merchandising to taking teams of diverse retail staff and helping them to be the best they can be.His enthusiasm for retail is contagious.  And he takes an industry that many people view as an ‘if all else fails' job and shows us the exciting career opportunities it offers for people of all different skills sets and education levels.  Retail is one industry that has almost no barriers to entry - and few limits on how high you can rise.Most importantly Ron talks about his vision for revitalising retail and provides a path that both large and small companies can easily follow.You can find Ron's book, Retail Pride, on Amazon in paperback, hardcover or kindle versions.Before we get started, if you're overwhelmed by information and wish someone could sift and sort through it all and provided you with a tight summary of just what you need to know, then you might want to check out Inside Fashion's market snapshots.

This week on Inside Fashion, the BoF tag team discuss the state of an industry in flux, digital pivots and the future of fashion shows.   LONDON, United Kingdom — The outbreak of Covid-19 signalled major disruptions across the global fashion supply chain, from the garment workers left destitute in India and Bangladesh after retailers in the West cancelled orders to businesses temporarily shuttering brick-and-mortar sites in order to curb the spread of the virus. “This pandemic is shaping up to be one of those collective experiences of complete change… It seems like [there has been] such a momentous shift in perception and [in] the way all of us are thinking about life,” said BoF Editor-in-Chief Imran Amed. For both Amed and BoF Editor-at-Large Tim Blanks, this period of uncertainty offered an opportunity for the industry to reassess the way it operates. “This industry is so important, it’s so big... and there’s so much of an opportunity to do things better,” Amed said.“We have a moral responsibility to do better as an industry.” Blanks first realised the enormity of the health crisis after returning from Paris Fashion Week. “March 3 [the last day of Paris Fashion Week] was the day that you could feel the storm clouds had well and truly gathered over fashion… there was this sense of some enormous, ominous force,” he said. Even as lockdown measures have eased and designers have set their sights on an iteration of September fashion shows, the feeling of uncertainty still looms. “September isn’t in our hands, we don’t know what is going to happen in September or in January… I think the situation is incredibly volatile,” Blanks added. Like many industries, the fashion sector has adopted digital tools in order to keep working in the age of social distancing, from virtual showrooms and live streaming to online-only fashion shows. For Blanks, the allure of sitting in the pews of an elaborate runway show, just inches away from visual masterpieces, can never be duplicated on screen. However, he also acknowledged that the brands and designers' response to the disruption of the fashion calendar using digital presentations “was really interesting, [especially seeing]... how so many different creative sensibilities approached the same challenge.” The pandemic and political unrest has accelerated the conversation around responsibility in the fashion industry. Now more than ever, brands are being called upon to address the lack of diversity and inclusion within their corporate structures. “This momentum for change cannot be diverted, it cannot be still. It must roll on and I think fashion has to be a part of… the solution not the problem,” Blanks said. “The most critical challenge facing the industry is inclusivity… it has to be more inclusive and embracing… Opportunity needs to be equal for everybody.”   Related Articles: A Year Without Fashion Shows Fashion’s New Outlook on 2020 Op-Ed | Fashion Is Part of the Race Problem Designers Lobby to ‘Fix’ the Fashion System.

The bestselling author and business professor offers his insight into the challenging market and M&A landscape that industry players of all sizes have to navigate. Scott Galloway is no stranger to expressing views as provocative as they are incisive. The author, business school professor and serial entrepreneur has a lot to say about the state of the market in the era of Covid-19, but his observations and predictions are also, crucially, grounded in wider social, political and economic arguments — whether that’s the now-untenable position of American exceptionalism, the burden of student debt or the failings of intergenerational wealth distribution. Speaking in conversation with Imran Amed, Galloway shares his thoughts on the state of the luxury sector, importance of e-commerce and the indomitable power of Amazon, a company he describes as “firing on all 12,000 cylinders” yet still can’t crack the fashion market. Here are some of the key takeaways:   “The class of IPOs that will come to the markets in the next 3-6 months will boom,” said Galloway. “I think the markets are going to accelerate but people conflate the markets with the economic health of america. The markets are nothing more than an indication of how the top decile of Europe and America are doing.”  Amazon’s tricky relationship with fashion and luxury is hard to reconcile. “Amazon partners with an industry the way a virus partners with a host,” he said, which explains why luxury brands have traditionally kept the e-commerce giant at arm’s length. Even with the remarkable acceleration of e-commerce in the past eight weeks, however, Amazon’s algorithmically driven retail model does not allow for the forward-looking trend cycle on which the fashion industry operates. Luxury is a relatively well-positioned industry. “The majority of sectors in the world would pray for luxury’s problems right now,” he said, but much like big tech companies, conglomerates in the luxury space create “an unhealthy environment where too few players are allowed to [accrue] too much power... if you wanted to oxygenate the economy around luxury you would go ahead and break them up.” Related Articles:The New Normal: A Darwinian Shakeout Will Create Fresh OpportunitiesFor Luxury, an Acceleration of the InevitableCase Study: The Next Wave of Luxury E-Commerce      Sign up for BoF’s Daily Digest newsletter here: http://bit.ly/BoFnews.
