Hospitality Case Study of Reviews: What Happened to Yelp?Looking at 20 years of reviews for a popular Santa Fe resort, we examine how Yelp faired against the likes of TripAdvisor, Facebook, Google and OpenTable. The analysis shows, that at least in this segment, Yelp's problems were largely self-inflicted not caused by a Google abuse of their monopoly.Google I/O: they flex their AI muscles and move further into local products with the Shopping GraphGoogle used I/O to position themselves as the AI powerhouse, using AI for everything from engaging in human like conversations to identifying the specific model of sneaker in your photo of the band on stage. Once they have identified the sneaker, they will parse it via their newly anointed Shopping Graph and not only offer to let you buy them but tell you where they are locally available for curbside pickup. They have found their play against Amazon and its impressive.   Google to try out retail at their NYC HQ. Can they succeed IRL? Can they actually provide support? After many false starts Google is finally opening a retail presence in New York at their headquarters in Chelsea. They will be selling and supporting their growing range of Google hardware from phones to the Nest. Their choice of NYC home as a site gives them an easy out if they are unable to provide real support to real customers in real life. We are skeptical they will be able succeed at scaling the project.  The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands. NM#16

Karen Brown-Stovell, the Executive Director of Forward Ever joins Giving Them the Business to share her perspective on how businesses are coping during the pandemic, buying local and supporting small businesses.

  The push to shop local has steadily increased over the past decade as we've recognized that culture drives the market. If our communities lack cultural institutions, who are we, really? Fort Wayne has been evolving and growing in culture as small business entrepreneurs launch their dream businesses that range from boutique plant stores, creative home goods, women clothing, and brilliant local restaurants and breweries. These places provide the goods and services we want while providing an opportunity to build a relationship with a neighbor that has the expertise you need or want to go along with your purchase. They are providing an opportunity for a culture to be built around their business model, which can't be reproduced in an online environment. The internet will never be as excited about your new “Midwest is Best” hat as the buyer or creator in the store you purchased it in.   Good community development strategies begin with building the civic economy because the market always follows culture and people. Right now, this culture is being threatened and needs our market based activity now more than ever. Maybe, the premium of shopping local is what saves local. If we don't support local now, it may not return for awhile. Certainly not in the same way, with the same people. However, I do believe its not only on us as consumers to save the local business network. It's just as much on them to be investing in building community right now. Inviting us in, being transparent, and doubling down on their customer service efforts. In many ways, now is the time for local businesses to prove the value proposition of being a people-oriented businesses that they've been trying to get our attention with for the past decade.   The internet is a powerful tool that makes commerce a lot easier in many ways, but it has been disrupted at this time as well. In many ways, it is making it harder to get what we want in rather than easier. It's been far easier for me to trade Facebook messages with the local hobby shop about RC car parts for my kids toys than it has been to shop online. Plus, I can get those parts the same day and gain some quick tips for repairs. YouTube tutorials only help so much.   This is not a direct conversation on the proposition of local business versus the internet or non-local food chains, but a conversation about how shopping local impacts the community as a whole. Kristin Giant breaks down the economics of shopping local while providing a few great stories of how she's getting people involved in thinking differently about considering consumer decisions as investments. As you begin to expand your knowledge and worldview on this, it begins to make sense in a whole new way. Kristin brings a lot of energy and practical experience, and her voice is as important today for our local community as ever. We may not all be charitable, but we are all consumers. Incorporating as much “good” into your consumerism as possible is a great decision for local businesses.   It's one thing to talk about ideas and another to hear whether it actually makes a difference. I couldn't have this conversation without having a voice on the other side of this. Andrew Smith of Junk Ditch Brewing Company shares their story of how difficult this time is. With business being off about 60% at the time of this interview, it is hard not to be worried about the future. But beyond the economics, Andrew shares the personal impact on his staff from changes in operations, increased risk exposure, and what's been most meaningful to everyone.   Crisis has the ability to bring people together in unique ways and I imagine we're in for some stronger and more community minded businesses in the coming months. If you're fortunate to get through this pandemic personally or as a business on a positive note, you are going to be thankful for those around you that helped you through this more than you ever thought possible.   Our community can be stronger if we invest in it. The civic economy drives the market economy.

I pick up the conversation with Kristin Giant of Hyper Local Impact and with Andrew Smith, co-owner of Junk Ditch Brewing Company. Kristin is a champion for Impact Investing and how shopping local has a huge impact on the livelihoods of the business owners, and on our local community. Kristin provides context for why we should be focusing as much spending as we can locally right now and some great ideas on how we become “investors” in the businesses we love through things like pre-buying gift cards.Andrew shares how much business has changed, what’s changed, what has been impactful, what they’re learning, and why building a community with your customers is important to have a chance to survive through this pandemic.

Nick Hughes is joined by Michael Goulden from London who is the CEO of Pinga, which is building a platform to help people get what they want in 15 mins or less. Nick and Michael have a fun chat on the state of the local delivery and logistics industry, what the implications are for future of local commerce as well as security and safety, and the solutions Pinga is bringing to the market to help!

It's December 1st, so I guess that means it's time to officially accept the holiday spirit (though, I love anything and everything peppermint, and have been on that kick since after Halloween). However, with the holidays, comes a high degree of consumption, especially for holidays like Black Friday and Boxing Day, as well as Christmas gift shopping, party preparations, and whatnot. It's hard for me to not feel a little salty about all the excess and waste, as well as people buying gifts simply for the sake of buying a gift and whatnot. Yet, I think there can be ways to mitigate the environmental harm done on these holidays. Shopping locally, and supporting businesses around you is not only a more sustainable option, it can also be great for building relationships within your community.

Sean and Pat are talking about national advertising campaigns for mattresses, and the cost of logistics, as well as how mattresses can be made locally for less.

During the Renaissance, money flowed into Florence’s growing banking sector and the elite, including the Medici family, showed off their new wealth with art, palaces, and luxury goods.   “They started commissioning local artists to do gorgeous pieces of art that would adorn their walls to showcase at their latest dinner party,” says Nardia Plumridge, author of Lost in Florence. “In terms of the artisan culture, that’s been stemming from Florence for hundreds of years. You have these amazing workshops where people would make beautiful leather or jewelry in silversmith workshops. It still remains today...it’s something that’s very magical about Florence.”   Lost in Florence is a beautiful book that highlights the best of independent Florence, from food and wine, to hotels and shopping. As the Postcard Academy podcast has covered food and wine on previous episodes, I dedicated my conversation with Nardia, an Australian expat who spent years in Florence before moving to Bangkok, on Florence’s artisans.
