ADAPT OR DIE: RECONNECT YOUR WEBSITE ADAPT OR DIE: CONNECT ONLINE SHOPPING TO YOUR STORE FROM THE JULY AND AUGUST 2026 ISSUES OF GREEN PROFIT MAGAZINE WRITTEN BY JOHN STANLEY, SID RAISCH & DRIES JANSEN NARRATED BY BILL CALKINS   EXCERPTS: Your website isn't a brochure; it's your store open 24 hours a day and now it's also your application for AI recommendation. Most importantly, begin with connecting your email, text and every other marketing effort to the customer with the invitation to learn, be inspired and buy. If your customers are arriving at dead ends on your website right now, fix them and make it easy to click to send you money.    Before you sell a single plant online, your shop is already talking. A site with stale photos from two springs ago, no way to buy anything and an “Under Construction” page tells customers loud and clear: “We are not ready for you.” A clean, current online shop with real products, real prices and a “Buy Online, Pick Up In Store” button tells them the opposite: “We're open for business, we respect your time and we're ready to serve you right now.”   Read the Digital Editions: July— https://www.ballpublishing.com/magazine/gp_26_07/index.aspx August— https://www.ballpublishing.com/magazine/gp_26_08/index.aspx This episode is sponsored by Prospiant—leaders in greenhouse design, manufacture and build.

If it hasn't yet happened to you, chances are very good that it will. You learn that both you and another person purchased the same item at the same place at the same time, and yet the prices you paid were not the same. Surveillance pricing is the practice of using artificial intelligence technologies and consumer data collection to set individualized prices for goods and services. Also known as dynamic pricing, algorithmic pricing, and personalized pricing, companies change prices based on a persons browsing history, location, and device type. In addition, technology is being used to discover your willingness to pay, which is a strategy used to identify the highest possible price an individual will accept before abandoning the purchase. The reality is that these new marketing techniques are being used to sell to you and your kids. Parents, talk to your kids about these tactics and point them out when you see them. In addition, join the effort to enact legislation to end the practice.

For years, luxury seemed almost immune to economic downturns. Consumers might cut back elsewhere, but luxury remained remarkably resilient.That has changed.Some of the world's most powerful luxury brands are facing slowing sales and weaker results. But the problem may go deeper than economics.Shoppers are more informed, expectations around quality are higher, resale has created new competition, and simply putting a famous logo on a product may no longer be enough.In this episode of A Seat at the Table, host Jane Singer sits down with retail industry veterans Burt Flickinger III, Managing Director of Strategic Retail Group, and Denise Seegal, former President and CEO of Maggiasconi Apparel Group, to discuss what's gone wrong, what today's luxury consumer wants, and where they see new opportunities for retail growth.What You'll LearnWhy luxury brands are under pressure around the world.How changing consumer priorities are reshaping luxury spending.Whether luxury has become too accessible and lost some of its exclusivity.Why merchandising, product innovation and emerging designers matter.How ecommerce and resale have changed luxury shopping.Why consumers are questioning luxury product quality.Why South Korea and India could become important luxury markets.What successful retailers are getting right about customer experience.Why Is the Luxury Market Struggling?Mr. Flickinger points to weakening demand across several historically important luxury markets, along with changes in international travel. Ms. Seegal believes brands need to look beyond economics."The consumer priorities have shifted," she says.Economic volatility, geopolitics and tariffs have affected spending. Social media, influencers and AI have changed how consumers discover and evaluate products.The lesson for brands: start with the consumer rather than assuming yesterday's definition of luxury still works.Has Luxury Lost Its Exclusivity?Another issue is overexposure.Luxury expanded aggressively, including through department stores and shop-in-shop concepts. But wider distribution can make it harder to maintain the discovery, exclusivity and personal attention consumers expect when paying luxury prices.Luxury consumers aren't simply buying a product. They want specialness, service and an environment that reinforces why the product deserves its premium positioning.What Happened to the Great Merchants?The conversation also raises a bigger problem: the decline of merchandising culture.Ms. Seegal recalls her years as a Bloomingdale's buyer, when part of the job was actively searching for emerging designers. She regularly made time to meet new designers, look at their work and ask: What's next?Today's department-store economics can make that harder.Brands may be expected to finance floor space, fixtures, staffing and other costs. Established brands can afford that investment. Emerging designers often cannot.The result can be stores filled with brands that have the resources to secure space rather than necessarily the most exciting products.Fashion needs newness. Without new designers, products and ideas, retailers give consumers fewer reasons to return.Is Luxury Quality Declining?Consumers increasingly complain that products—even expensive ones—don't feel as well made as products they purchased 10 or 20 years ago.Premium pricing needs to be supported by premium materials, craftsmanship, fit and construction.Brands diversifying their supply chains  face a challenge beyond finding capacity or negotiating price: they have to transfer knowledge and quality standards to their new manufacturing base.Online Shopping and Resale Changed LuxuryLuxury shopping has moved far beyond the traditional department store.Platforms such as Net-a-Porter, Matches and Farfetch helped make consumers comfortable buying high-priced fashion online, giving shoppers access to enormous assortments without visiting a physical luxury store.Then came another disruption: resale.Luxury customers aren't simply buying secondhand products. They're also selling items from their own wardrobes and using the proceeds to purchase something different.Vintage has another advantage: some consumers believe older merchandise offers better tailoring, materials or construction.That means resale can compete with new luxury on quality, uniqueness and product discovery—characteristics traditionally associated with luxury itself.Where Are the Next Luxury Growth Markets?The geography of luxury is changing.The conversation highlights South Korea as an important laboratory for luxury, combining fashion with digital communication, entertainment, gaming, social networks, wellness and highly connected consumer communities.India could represent another major frontier as its consumer market develops.The next chapter of luxury therefore may not simply involve waiting for traditional markets to recover. Brands need to rethink where luxury consumers are emerging and what luxury means within those markets.The Luxury Store Experience Still MattersDespite digital commerce, the physical store isn't necessarily obsolete. But mediocre stores may be.Personal service is particularly important at the high end, where relationships between customers and trusted salespeople can generate significant repeat business.Can Luxury Make a Comeback?Ms. Seegal believes it can.Consumers still love beautiful products, exceptional design, craftsmanship and quality. But they're also better informed. They can quickly research a designer, compare products and decide whether a brand fits the identity or community they want to be part of.The next era of luxury may depend less on the logo and more on the things that originally made luxury desirable: exceptional product, innovation, craftsmanship, exclusivity, service and experience.Episode Timestamps00:00 – Why luxury is suddenly struggling01:54 – What's happening to global luxury demand?05:58 – How luxury consumer priorities have changed08:12 – Has luxury become overexposed?09:48 – South Korea and the changing luxury experience15:04 – Why fashion needs merchants and emerging designers18:48 – How the shop-in-shop model changed luxury retail20:37 – South Korea and India as future luxury markets22:13 – How ecommerce changed luxury shopping25:13 – The impact of luxury resale and vintage26:36 – Are consumers getting lower-quality products?31:37 – Why factory training matters to quality35:04 – When cost cutting starts damaging luxury37:17 – Does Hermès need a bigger owner?39:25 – Can luxury retailers successfully expand internationally?43:25 – What would it take to revive luxury department stores?48:32 – What Bloomingdale's is getting right49:51 – Why customer service remains a competitive advantageFrequently Asked QuestionsWhy are luxury brands struggling?The episode identifies weaker spending in important global markets, changing travel patterns, economic uncertainty, changing consumer priorities, ecommerce and resale competition, and concerns around innovation, exclusivity and quality.What do luxury consumers want today?Consumers increasingly expect more than a recognizable brand name. Quality, design, exclusivity, service, experience and cultural relevance all contribute to whether a luxury purchase feels worthwhile.Has luxury become too accessible?Potentially. Expanding distribution can increase sales but also weaken exclusivity. The discussion highlights the importance of controlling the retail environment and creating a distinctive brand experience.Is luxury product quality declining?The conversation highlights consumer concerns about quality across mainstream and luxury fashion. Maintaining quality requires strong materials and craftsmanship, experienced suppliers, factory training and sourcing decisions that aren't driven exclusively by cost.Which markets could drive future luxury growth?South Korea and India emerge as particularly interesting opportunities. South Korea combines luxury consumption with fashion, beauty, wellness, entertainment and digital culture, while India's evolving consumer market could make it an increasingly important luxury frontier.About the GuestsBurt Flickinger III is Managing Director of Strategic Retail Group, a global retail and consumer packaged goods consultancy.Denise Seegal is the former President and CEO of Maggiasconi Apparel Group and former Executive Director of M. Magtigu Limited. She now leads her own consulting firm and brings extensive experience in merchandising, product development, manufacturing, fashion and retail.Together with A Seat at the Table host Jane Singer, they explore what's going wrong in luxury retail—and what brands and retailers need to get right to win the next generation of luxury consumers.SEND US A MESSAGEVisit A Seat at The Table's website at https://seat.fm

Clare has ranked as one of the top three counties in Ireland for online shopping. New research shows 19% of all retail activity in this county is now carried out online. Ennis Chamber President Margaret O'Brien claims the figures are a reflection of the efforts from businesses across Clare to put greater emphasis into their online offering. She says the figures don't necessarily represent the phasing out of high-street shopping.

A new trend has emerged, where people are ordering fake takeaways and filling online shopping carts knowing they'll never receive a thing. This viral trend is gaining popularity, with one platform, FoodNeverComes, claiming nearly 1 million 'cravings satisfied' to date. Queensland University of Technology, Professor of Marketing and Consumer Behaviour, says this gives consumers a version of the online shopping experience in order to stave off boredom. "The research shows that we're more inclined to do online shopping...generally in the evenings.

Lauren Livak Gilbert, lead of the Digital Shelf Institute, joins the podcast to explore how agentic commerce and AI tools like Amazon's Rufus are transforming product discovery. As the industry shifts from traditional SEO keyword stuffing to natural language and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), sellers must optimize their Product Detail Pages by directly answering consumer Q&As to feed context-driven AI recommendations. Currently, nimble challenger brands are capturing market share by adapting quickly and building off-site trust signals, while large legacy brands are often bogged down by massive SKU counts, messy data taxonomy, and regulatory hurdles. To overcome these challenges and safely scale AI content generation, Lauren emphasizes the critical need for strict E-commerce hygiene and a single source of truth for product data using Product Experience Management platforms like Salsify.

The old e-commerce funnel is breaking, and AI is replacing it… the question is, who controls customer intent?In this episode of the High Voltage Business Builders podcast, we break down how agentic commerce is changing the way people discover, compare, and buy products online.
