U.S. retailers are warning that consumers will feel the pinch of Trump's global tariff war by the end of April. Fresh produce, wine, bicycles, and household goods will be hit first as importers adjust to new tariffs of up to 125%. Target and Walmart are seeing stockpiling already, while wine sellers warn prices could surge by 60% or more. The Federal Reserve predicts inflation could spike to 4%, and JPMorgan and BlackRock say a recession may already be underway. The tariff war with China is escalating fast, with Beijing imposing its own 125% retaliatory tariffs starting April 12.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1014: Today, we're covering President Trump's pause on reciprocal tariffs leaves auto imports still facing steep duties, while a record number of buyers turn to 84-month loans to afford today's rising prices.Show Notes with links:The auto industry is still squarely in the tariff crosshairs, even as President Trump backs off his broader reciprocal tariff plan. While a new 10% base tariff replaces most of the global duties, the 25% tariff on vehicles—and key materials like steel and aluminum—remains firmly in place.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed auto, steel, and aluminum duties are sector-specific and still active.Despite ongoing auto tariffs, markets surged on the pause news—Tesla jumped 22.7%, GM rose 7.7%, and Ford gained 9.3%.Industry leaders are pushing for relief with MichAuto's Glenn Stevens Jr. advocating for protecting the international supply chain, calling the fragmentation “harmful” to competitiveness.President Trump said he would consider exempting specific companies from tariffs, saying “We're going to take a look at that.”More new-vehicle buyers are turning to 84-month loans than ever before, highlighting just how financially stretched today's car shoppers remain.According to Edmunds, 20% of Q1 new-vehicle loans were for 84 months, up from 16% in 2024 and 13% in 2019.The average amount financed also jumped to over $41K compared to $32K in Q1 2019.On the used side, 12% of loans ran 84 months, more than double the 5.3% seen in 2019, with an average of $28K financed.Dealer Michael Cummings of I-10 Toyota: “I really, really don't like going 84 months... it's not healthy for the customers in the long run. It's not healthy for us dealers in the long run.”A new report from Retail TouchPoints, citing Forrester's 2024 U.S. CX Index, reveals that customer service is at its worst level since 2016. Despite access to advanced tech, only 3% of brands are truly customer-focused — and shoppers are losing patience.70% of customers say it's hard to find in-store help; 83% of associates say their jobs are too complex.Shoppers prioritize speed over flair—19% say quick item location drives return visits.Brands like Tractor Supply and Dick's use “store mode” apps to show real-time inventory and item locations.GenAI is gaining traction: 84% of customer service managers plan to deploy AI agents in 2025, up from 42% in 2023.“With greater customer experiences comes greater responsibility,” says CI&T's Melissa Minkow.Join hosts Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

The United States is widely recognized as the quintessential consumer society, one where huge companies like Walmart and Amazon are famous for enticing customers with cheap goods and speedy delivery. Attention, Shoppers!: American Retail Capitalism and the Origins of the Amazon Economy (Princeton University Press, 2025) traces the origins and evolution of American retail capitalism from the late nineteenth century to today, uncovering the roots of a bitter equilibrium where large low-cost retailers dominate and vast numbers of low-income families now rely on them to make ends meet. Offering a comparative perspective on the history of American political economy, Dr. Kathleen Thelen shows how large-scale retailers in the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden faced a far less hospitable regulatory environment than companies in the United States, which enjoyed judicial forbearance and often active government support. As American companies grew in scale and scope, they assembled an ever-expanding political coalition that could be weaponized to head off regulatory efforts, leveraging their market strength to squeeze suppliers and workers and even engaging in outright rule breaking when they encountered resistance. Placing the rise of the Amazon economy in a broader comparative-historical context, Attention, Shoppers! reveals how large discount retailers have successfully exploited a uniquely permissive regulatory landscape to create a shopper's paradise built on cheap labor and mass consumption. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In the latest episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Phil Wahba, Senior Writer at Fortune, to explore the ever-evolving landscape of retail leadership, consumer behavior, and strategic transformations. Wahba reflects on more than a decade covering retail bankruptcies, leadership shifts, and innovation, highlighting that while consumer desires have remained relatively stable—good value, seamless experiences, and quality products—retailers often struggle to meet these expectations consistently.Wahba shares insights into how some of the biggest names in retail excel by focusing on core strengths. He points to Costco and Walmart as prime examples of companies that continue to thrive by relentlessly pursuing operational efficiency, value pricing, and consistent store execution. In contrast, many department stores have downsized or disappeared because, as Wahba puts it, they “chased the wrong rabbits”—pursuing short-term gains over long-term brand definition. Dillard's stands out by maintaining steady store counts and focusing on a solid merchandising strategy, proving that success hinges on knowing your customer and offering them a clear reason to shop.The conversation then shifts to Hudson's Bay and its recent struggles, which Wahba attributes to a lack of focus on fundamental retail principles and a greater emphasis on real estate extraction. He also touches on the broader implications of retail real estate vacancies, noting that large anchor-store spaces often require creative repurposing—whether converted into smaller retail footprints, medical clinics, or mixed-use developments.Looking ahead, Wahba anticipates a future where technology plays a more backstage role, with the spotlight on operational improvements such as inventory management, demand forecasting, and smoother omnichannel experiences. Shoppers do not seek flashy tech for its own sake; rather, they want frictionless pathways to purchase. The episode also explores how retailers like Foot Locker and Gap might engineer turnarounds under new leadership, taking cues from successful transformations at brands like Abercrombie & Fitch.Wahba underscores that retail “winners” will be those that evolve with shifting consumer expectations while staying true to foundational principles: consistently fair pricing, well-curated inventory, and reliable customer service. The conversation wraps up with a look at up-and-coming brands and international retailers—including Uniqlo—that could make bigger U.S. expansions in the coming years if they adapt carefully to the market's nuances.Whether you're watching for the next big turnaround or seeking to understand why some iconic names falter, this episode offers deep insights into the interplay of leadership, strategy, and consumer loyalty—critical elements shaping the future of modern retail.

"If I were in charge I'd make some big changes." You don't have to look far to find plenty of ideas from sellers on the topic of "how to make Amazon selling better", but we have to keep in mind that Amazon has multiple parties to keep in mind!

There has been a push for consumers to purchase America first. If asked, Americans will say they bought local...but the details say otherwise. As Forever 21 is facing another Bankruptcy due to the competition of places like Temu and Shein…  it's opened up a new argument about Americans priorities when it comes to fast fashion. 

(Monday 03/17/25)Life is getting expensive! Sales at US convenience stores have decreased by 4.3%, indicating that people are purchasing fewer snacks. Shoppers feeling the pinch of inflation are increasingly opting for lower-priced store brands. There are ongoing protests against Tesla, and Trump is trying to rally support.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports on a slight rise in retail sales.

Takeaways: Despite ongoing economic uncertainties, the furniture industry has demonstrated remarkable resilience with strong sales figures reported for February, suggesting a sustained consumer investment in home improvements. The decline in consumer sentiment to a 29-month low raises concerns about potential reductions in discretionary spending, which may adversely affect future furniture purchases. Retailers are urged to recalibrate their strategies in response to consumer sentiment, potentially offering flexible payment options and targeted promotions to sustain sales momentum amidst economic fluctuations. The advent of new technological tools, such as AI and virtual reality, is fundamentally reshaping the retail landscape, enhancing operational efficiencies and enriching the customer shopping experience. A significant operational shift has been observed as a major furniture manufacturer relocates its production from Canada to North Carolina, likely in pursuit of cost reduction and improved supply chain logistics. The closure of long-standing family-owned businesses, such as Jaeger Furniture, underscores the formidable challenges facing traditional retailers in an era dominated by e-commerce and evolving consumer expectations. Takeaways: The furniture industry has experienced a stable demand despite economic uncertainties, indicating consumer resilience towards home investments. Consumer sentiment has reached a concerning low due to rising inflation and geopolitical tensions, posing risks for discretionary spending in furniture. Technological advancements such as AI and virtual reality are reshaping retail strategies, enabling personalized shopping experiences that enhance consumer engagement. Major furniture retailers are adapting to market shifts by exploring domestic production options and forming new supplier partnerships to mitigate rising costs. Wayfair's strategic foray into physical retail signifies a pivotal shift, blending online convenience with tangible customer experiences in furniture shopping. The closure of Jaeger Furniture illustrates the profound impact of e-commerce trends on traditional retailers, necessitating innovative adaptations to survive.

Trump's Tariffs: What They Mean for Businesses, Shoppers, and the EconomyWelcome to Wealth Wednesday, where we break down the biggest economic and financial news shaping global markets. In today's episode, we cover two major developments:1. Trump's Tariffs and Their Impact on Businesses and ConsumersTrump's long-threatened tariffs have arrived, placing the U.S. in a trade war with China, Canada, and Mexico.25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 20% tariff on Chinese goods went into effect this week.Experts warn that consumers and businesses will bear the biggest burden, leading to higher prices on everything from cars and appliances to groceries and gasoline.How Will This Impact Everyday Americans?Gas prices may rise since Canada is the U.S.'s largest crude oil supplier ($98 billion in 2024).Electronics, computers, clothing, and toys from China will be impacted, making everyday tech and essentials more expensive.Alcohol prices could increase, affecting tequila and Canadian whiskey imports.Grocery costs will go up, with 47% of imported vegetables and 40% of imported fruits coming from Mexico—a 25% tariff on Mexican avocados alone could drive prices even higher.How Are Canada, Mexico, and China Responding?China has imposed up to 15% tariffs on key U.S. agricultural exports, including chicken, pork, soy, and beef.Canada and Mexico are also retaliating, placing additional taxes on various American goods.Why Is Trump Doing This?To pressure trading partners on illegal immigration, fentanyl trafficking, and manufacturing trade imbalances.Critics argue there is no quantitative target or milestone for evaluating success, making this a strong-arm approach rather than a measured economic strategy.2. Trump Announces U.S. Crypto ReservePresident Trump announced the creation of a U.S. Crypto Reserve to boost the digital asset industry.His executive order on digital assets prioritizes the responsible growth of cryptocurrencies like ETH, BITC, XRP, SOL, and Cardano.Crypto prices surged after the announcement, signaling renewed interest in digital currencies.What This Means for YouTariffs could significantly impact the cost of goods and the stock market—businesses and consumers need to prepare. • ⁃ The crypto market is gaining traction under the new administration—is it time to develop digital asset skills and educate yourself on blockchain opportunities?

Wrapping up our Recruit and Retain series, we come back to what makes it all come together: shoppers. Remember, we heard from Corinna Smith earlier this month that increasing market attendance is great, but what's critical is  how many of those attendees are buying something at the market. Are they filling those shopping bags and baskets? Then retaining farmers and vendors is a slam dunk. That income will allow you to retain staff. It's a whole ecosystem right there.  In the final installment of this series, let's talk about some Farmers Market pro tips, including:  Followers are fine, engagement is epic More attendees is good, more buyers is key Email lists may be more secure than social platforms Co-op marketing with local businesses is golden It's not QUITE too late to register for this year's InTents, the National Farmers Market Conference, in San Diego March 10th -12th and live online.

In this episode of The Voice of Retail, I sit down with Cheryl Ong Seng, Vice President of Retail at Circana, to explore the latest trends shaping the Canadian retail landscape. From consumer confidence and value-seeking behaviours to the challenges of personalization and pricing strategies, they cover the key insights retailers need to know.Cheryl shares her journey from Mauritius and Australia to leading Circana's retail insights based in Canmore, Alberta, providing a unique perspective on the data and analytics that drive decision-making in the industry. She explains how Circana collects and interprets consumer trends across multiple sectors, helping retailers and brands stay ahead in an evolving market. One of the key themes of the conversation is how consumer behaviour continues to shift in response to economic pressures. Cheryl and Michael discuss how Canadian shoppers seek more value through private-label products, reward programs, or trading down to budget-friendly options. They explore the “little treat culture paradox,” where consumers splurge on premium items like coffee or gourmet groceries rather than traditional dining experiences.The episode also examines the role of AI and technology in retail, particularly in enabling better personalization and targeted marketing. Despite years of discussion around personalization, many retailers still struggle to deliver relevant promotions to their customers. Cheryl shares insights on how AI-driven data analytics can unlock new opportunities for more effective engagement.Pricing strategy is another hot topic, as retailers weigh the benefits of everyday low pricing (EDLP) versus high-low promotional models. Cheryl highlights the importance of understanding consumer psychology—while EDLP offers stability, shoppers often respond more enthusiastically to promotions and perceived discounts.Finally, the discussion touches on key industry trends, including the rise of buy-now-pay-later options, the growing consumer preference for Canadian-made products, and the balance between sustainability and affordability in purchasing decisions.Whether you're a retailer, brand leader, or industry analyst, this episode offers valuable insights into the future of retail in Canada. Tune in for expert perspectives on the data-driven decisions shaping the industry today. About CherylAs Vice President of Retail Canada, Cheryl Ong Seng is responsible for leading retail commercial teams in Canada.

Retail sales plunged 0.9% in January from the prior month, the Commerce Department said Friday. That's down sharply from December's upwardly revised 0.7% gain and well below economists' expectations of a 0.4% decline. The figures are adjusted for seasonal swings but not inflation. Shoppers reined in their spending across multiple categories last month. Specialty stores and auto dealers were hit hardest, with spending falling 4.6% and 3%, respectively. Inflation could worsen if President Donald Trump keeps his promise of imposing 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada as soon as March 1. The Trump administration is also weighing levying reciprocal tariffs in April.

DeSantis endorses the idea and explains how it could be done in Florida Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis endorsed the idea of abolishing property taxes throughout the Sunshine State, but explained that it would require a constitutional amendment. The governor, who is currently serving his second term after a decisive re-election victory in Florida's 2022 gubernatorial contest, was responding to someone on X who advocated abolishing property taxes in the state and asked what would need to be done to make that happen. "Property taxes are local, not state. So we'd need to do a constitutional amendment (requires 60% of voters to approve) to eliminate them (which I would support) or even to reform/lower them," DeSantis noted. "We should put the boldest amendment on the ballot that has a chance of getting that 60%," he continued.  "I agree that taxing land/property is the more oppressive and ineffective form of taxation," the governor added.   Eric Trump, one of President Donald Trump's sons,
