This week on The Retail Perch, Shekar and Gary are excited to welcome an intelligent and humorous guest, Kevin Coupe, the founder of Morning News Beat—a news platform that provides the latest updates and insights in the retail industry. As Kevin shares his journey from starting out as a news reporter, the trio dives into discussions on retailers' reactions to AI, the shifting dynamics of advertising, Amazon, and much more.

The CPG Guys, Sri & PVSB, are joined in this episode by Kevin Coupe, renowned author and also editor of Morning News Beat, Kevin Coupe.Follow Kevin Coupe on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-coupe-6872196/Follow Morning News Beat online at: http://morningnewsbeat.comPurchase Kevin's book "The Big Picture" on AmazonKevin answers these questions:1) Many people are focused on what appears to be an end in sight for the pandemic. Should retailers and brands be focused on the immediate future of their YoY performance vs the turbulent 2020 or is 2022 the place to focus and why?2) Kroger recently held an investor day event. From our perspective, the overt message was very clear: they intend to dominate the growing retail media market. What are your thoughts on retail media in general?3) I know we're a little off topic from CPG retail, but I would love your thoughts on how this renewal applies to the industry we are following?4) A few questions for you: 1) do you see Instacart as the predominant challenge to Amazon in the near future and 2) for regional/local grocery retailers, is this marketplace their ecommerce strategy for the foreseeable future or are any of them other than the big 5-10 grocery retailers willing to invest in building their own digital CX on the path to purchase?5) as brands get more engaged in supporting retailer eCommerce activities, they face all sorts of new fees in their business dealings. Are these just the online version of chargebacks and something the brands just need to accept as fact? 6) Amazon appeared to skip a beat during the pandemic and really didn't leverage the rapid adoption of eCommerce to significantly grow its Fresh delivery business the way that Instacart and Walmart did their businesses. What are your thoughts on this and what is the future for Whole Foods in the Amazon picture?Please provide the CPG Guys feedback at http://ratethispodcast.com/cpgguysCPG Guys Website: http://CPGGuys.comInstagram: http://instagram.com/cpgguysTwitter: http://twitter.com/cpgguysLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/cpgpodcastMedia Kit: http://tinyurl.com/cpgguysmedia DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

This week, Michael Sansolo, research director for two Coca-Cola Retailing Research Councils (and a weekly columnist on MorningNewsBeat.com), joins Sterling and Kevin for a deep-dive into the rationales behind a pre-pandemic planning guide into how to build stores for the future. Using that guide as a starting point, they look at how current economic, cultural, and medical realities are changing that future, making it more uncertain than ever and yet replete with opportunities for retailers with the right mindset.

Past episodes have focused on how technology can have an impact on business models and people's lives. In this edition, however, we drill down to talk about how technology affected one life … and, in fact, makes living that best life possible. We welcome Heidi Dohse, senior program manager in Google's Cloud – Health and Life Sciences division. Dohse's personal and professional story makes for a compelling narrative that is at once provocative and inspiring. Hosted by Kevin Coupe, MorningNewsBeat’s “Content Guy".

Emerging technologies in the health and wellness segment are empowering consumers who more and more are invested in selfcare. Recorded at the GMDC Selfcare Summit in Indianapolis, we talk about the technologies and trends, provide insights into how consumers will interact with these innovations, and offer guidance to companies looking to invest in this burgeoning segment. Our guests for this podcast are members of the regular Retail Tomorrow podcast family: Tom Furphy, CEO and Managing Director of Consumer Equity Partners Nancy Giordano, a strategic futurist who specializes in the post-digital world Sterling Hawkins, co-founder of the Center for Advancing Retail & Technology Hosted by Kevin Coupe, MorningNewsBeat’s “Content Guy”

There is a wellness revolution taking place – driven by enlightened consumer-thinking about selfcare, and startup companies are innovating in that space. In front of a live audience at the recent inaugural Selfcare Summit with GMDC, two such startup companies share how their strategies and tactics are helping retailers perform more effectively and efficiently in selfcare. Our guests: Monte Ahlemeyer, chief revenue officer at Accelerate Dan Bourgault, VP Sales & Business Development at Replenium Hosted by Kevin Coupe, MorningNewsBeat’s “Content Guy”

We dropped in at Groceryshop in Las Vegas for an in-depth discussion of not only the strategies and tactics preoccupying many of the attendees, but the motivations behind the decisions they are making with regard to brand identity and technology – all of which may determine their ability to survive. We sifted through the presentations and exhibits looking for nuggets of wisdom that have the potential to animate and differentiate a retailer.

This episode features a wide-ranging conversation with Sylvain and Kevin Coupe, The Content Guy over at MorningNewsBeat.com.  Sylvain opens the conversation by asking Kevin why retailers don't always think of themselves as a brand and don't use their own data to the greatest possible degree and using Walmart's evolution as an example. To a great extent, Amazon has woken everybody up to the value of customer data in growing customer affinity through suggestive selling. The conversation turns to a timely topic, which is the risks that come with using gig workers as an extension of the retailer's business and brand, including what will happen to the gig economy should the U.S. slide into recession. Lastly, the two touch on the nature of ecommerce giants Walmart and Amazon and their critical failing in not having enough people there who are merchants.

Learn How To Get Your Brand On The Shelf and What Retailers REALLY Want.  This Is Your Roadmap To Success.  CLICK HERE TO GAIN INSTANT ACCESS TO MY FREE TURNKEY SALES STORY STRATEGIES COURSE Brand relevance is changing the way consumers shop. Personalization is driving the conversation between brands and shoppers. The old rules no longer apply. Creative disruptive brands can amplify their voice with a compelling selling story. The theme for today's episode is complacency, and how every brand needs to fight against it. How every brand needs to strive continually to be better than every other brand on the shelf, in the market, and in their category. Let's face it: The last thing you want to do is get lost in all the noise, and the clutter in your category. So how do you stand out? How do you differentiate yourself? How do you make a mark in the category? More importantly, how do you get your product on more retailer's shelves, and into the hands of more shoppers? This impacts every brand. And I do mean every brand. Whether you're online, or a traditional brick and mortar, or use a blended strategy, this is the one thing that every brand needs to fight against. In the words of our guest today, he says that you need to swim faster. You need to work harder. You need to be better than every other product on the shelf. So how do you do that? How do you stay on top of the competition? How do you stay relevant in front of the eyes of the consumerand of the retailer? And how do you do it without going broke in the process? That's where this podcast comes in, and other resources like it. Think about it: this podcast is more than just entertainment. It's an opportunity to sit down, one on one, with the thought leadersin the industry. To be inspired by their stories, and to learn from them. Today I have the privilege to introduce you to Michael Sansolo. I've known Michael for quite a while. As a leading industry voice, as a thought leader, as an author, as a keynote and featured speaker at several industry events, Michael brings a unique perspective to the industry by the way that he looks beyond the four corners of the package, or more importantly beyond the four corners of the store. Michael focuses on trends outside of retail to better understand what's coming up, what's next. In a minute, for example, you're gonna hear a story about how a brand uses personalization to help build a relationship between the customer and the brand.
