The retail landscape in the United States continues to be influenced by Black Friday, occurring the day after Thanksgiving. Retailers prepare for in-store shopping, offering promotions to attract customers. Analysts predict a stable holiday shopping season despite some financial pressures on consumers. This year features a shorter period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, prompting early and bulk purchases. Retailers like Mall of America and Target implement strategies to entice shoppers, while Best Buy revives doorbuster deals. Market research indicates growth potential in physical retail, particularly for impulse purchases. Retail performance varies, with Walmart showing strong sales and Target facing declines in non-essential item spending. Many retailers launch holiday promotions earlier due to influences like the presidential election. Predictions from the National Retail Federation suggest a spending increase of 2.5% to 3.5% over last year, with significant online sales growth. The Black Friday weekend is key for gauging consumer activity and offers various deals across categories. Foot traffic is expected to peak, reinforcing Black Friday's importance in the retail calendar.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of "The Garage," hosts Dan and Evan are joined by Dan Hight, Business Development and Partnerships Executive at Placer.ai, and Paul Brenner, SVP Global Retail Media and Partnerships at Vibenomics.Join as they explore the transformative power of in-store retail media and its impact on brands and retailers, as well as how innovations in in-store media are reshaping the consumer shopping experience and driving strategic changes in how retailers engage with shoppers in physical spaces.Dan and Paul also cover the importance of integrating technology, measuring effectiveness, and establishing standardized metrics in the evolving retail landscape.

He notes that the key is to digitize physical stores (to bring the online experience into a physical world) in a way that doesn't interrupt the shopping experience. This approach aligns with the increasing interest in in-store media, leveraging location analytics to understand consumer behavior. Dan points out that the shift toward a privacy-safe, cohort-based advertising strategy is essential as the landscape of retail media evolves, allowing brands to optimize their reach and engagement within physical locations.[22:19] Paul Brenner emphasizes the importance of trust and practical examples when engaging with retail merchants. He highlights the need to provide tangible scenarios that can excite them about innovative marketing initiatives. By creating visual representations—like fly-throughs of in-store formats that showcase placement and branded content—he ensures merchants understand how these new approaches can improve their sales strategies. This approach not only builds confidence in new concepts but also helps merchants see the potential for elevating customer experiences beyond traditional static displays.[26:13] Dan Hite addresses the complexities of identity management in retail media, particularly in the in-store context. He points out that while digital platforms have established frameworks for identifying consumers, physical retail environments lack similar mechanisms. Dan advocates for understanding audience composition on a store-by-store basis to effectively tailor marketing strategies. He suggests leveraging insights about demographic and psychographic profiles to optimize ad resonance, stressing the importance of balancing privacy with effective targeting in an increasingly regulated landscape.[28:39] Paul Brenner emphasizes the importance of enhancing value propositions across on-site, off-site, and in-store experiences without expecting a 1-to-1 personalization outcome. Instead, he advocates for a standardized approach to impressions, ensuring consistency and credibility in measurement methods. He suggests a focus on impressions as a realistic benchmark, integrating data on consumer behaviors to enhance relevance, while noting that biometric advancements may gradually impact the adoption of camera-based measurements in stores.

In this Fast Five Short, we discuss how Sam's Club is revolutionizing the shopping experience by opening a new store in Grapevine, Texas, that eliminates traditional checkout lines. Instead, customers will utilize a smartphone app called Scan and Go to scan items as they shop, culminating in a streamlined exit through a computer vision-based archway.

Wayfair Head of Brand Marketing Kara O'Brien joins The Current Podcast to discuss blending the in-store and digital shopping experience. Please note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.[00:00:00] Damian: I'm Damian [00:00:00] Ilyse: I'm Ilyse Liffreing [00:00:02] Ilyse: And welcome to this edition of The Current Podcast. [00:00:05] Damian: This week, we're delighted to talk with Kara O'Brien, Head of Brand Marketing and Analytics at Wayfair. [00:00:11] Ilyse: For years, Wayfair has been an online one stop shop for people looking for everything from beds to couches to kitchen appliances. In fact, for those browsing home goods, the choices often seem endless. [00:00:23] Damian: I know, because I've spent many long hours looking for the perfect bathroom cabinet to fit into my tiny New York apartment. But seriously though, one of the big draws for Wayfair has always been its reasonable prices for its products. [00:00:35] Ilyse: Wayfair is famous as an e commerce platform, but now that's changing. In May, the company opened its first brick and mortar store. start by asking Kara about why the company made this move. [00:00:47] Ilyse: First, I believe congratulations are in order because Wayfair opened its first brick and mortar store back in May. [00:00:54] So, why don't you walk us through the decision to make the leap into a physical storefront?[00:01:00]  [00:01:00] Kara: Absolutely We are so excited about this milestone. It's something that's been a long time coming. I personally have been at Wayfair for 10 years, and it has been one of the peak moments of my time there to see our brand come to life physically. so why now? I mean, our ethos has always been to deliver the best possible experience for our customer, and now we want to really be able to do it however they shop and however they choose to shop. [00:01:24] And so to be able to bring the It's a product to the customer. Let them see it in person, help guide them through the purchasing process. It's it makes a ton of sense. And, consumer demand has shifted so much during and since the pandemic, there was, pretty strong move to buying these more considered purchases online when people had no option to go in store. [00:01:46] But, now we're seeing the pendulum swing back and the consumer preference is to have a mix, to have a balance, to be able to see things in person, but have the convenience of being able to shop and research from home.  [00:01:57] Ilyse: Yes, now I know I'm, I have an apartment in New York and i've spent too many hours on Wayfair, probably. [00:02:03] Kara: - love to hear that. [00:02:04] Ilyse: but why did you land on Wilmette, Illinois for this touch point? And how are you bringing the brand to life in store? [00:02:12] Kara: Yeah, to start with Wilmette, I think there's two big considerations that ended up there. one is convenience. And so we really want to make shopping for your home as easy as possible. It's a process. It's something that's so important to so many people. [00:02:25] And so we don't want the process itself to feel onerous. And so for us, we had found this wonderful space. It's in a revitalized shopping center. It's surrounded by suburbs with lots of young families who are really kind of our core customer. And then the access to the broader Chicagoland, uh, area was fantastic. [00:02:45] So that's always been a strong market for us. But more on the business side, it's, It's very well positioned within our logistics network, and to kind of come back to that idea of convenience, we can ship products to, directly to customers home instead of trying to fit something [00:03:00] large and bulky in the back of your trunk. [00:03:02] And so we're able to do that fast, free, easy, when they've seen something in store or if they've explored beyond. [00:03:10] Ilyse: mortars follow or? [00:03:12] Kara: I think that's the idea eventually, but I think one thing we're really trying to do is learn at being an e commerce company. First, there's so much one way conversation that you have with the customer through your marketing, through your site. This is an opportunity to have that two way conversation. [00:03:28] And, we recognize we're new to the space. We're going to learn a ton and hopefully be able to apply that [00:03:34] Ilyse: what  [00:03:34] Damian: to what extent does the physical store help build the brand perception? And I know you sort of touched on that, but what I'm interested in is, it's known as an e commerce platform, and here you are now building out a physical store. [00:03:46] So What does that do? How does that help? [00:03:49] Kara: Yeah, well, I think it's rooted in who we were as an e commerce company, right? We have so many different types of products. We have, tens of millions of products on site. [00:04:00] And so the challenge at hand was really how do you take that vast selection and put it into a box, right? You can only put a finite number of products in. [00:04:08] And so for us, what we were really trying to solve for is how do you at Google Demonstrate that breadth, but still assist people through that purchasing process so that they can find that thing they were looking for, even if they didn't even know they wanted it. And so a lot of our philosophy was we want to be able to give you departments that are specific to a space, but we also wanted to have a through line that We're specific to your style. [00:04:34] So the way you can shop the store, it's not, living room over here, bedroom over here, completely cordoned off. It's more of a choose your own adventure. So if I have multiple projects and I have a modern aesthetic with a little bit of a rustic twist. We have pathways to carry you through. [00:04:49] If you are mission driven and just need a new set of pots and pans, we can get you there quickly too. and so then the other thing that's a component to that, given how much we have, is the [00:05:00] support needed along the way. And so we have our associates trained to help you find the things you want, if you want a different color, we can show you that through our e commerce platform, but then you know that the size is perfect because you saw it in the store. [00:05:12] Damian: So you're connecting the in store experience to the digital experience. [00:05:16] Kara: closely. The technology enablement was so important to us. We wanted to make sure people could understand again that endless aisle, but make it a very shoppable experience in store. we also are going to be launching new services like design services to help customers complete that project with confidence. [00:05:31] and so very much want it to be an interplay. Now, [00:05:40] Ilyse: back in March, which included a full omni channel activation featuring celebrity spokespeople and an updated logo. What were the most successful lovers within this campaign, and are there any surprising insights so far? Yeah, well, we [00:05:54] Kara: Yeah, we were really excited to bring this to market. along with this campaign, we have a revised tagline [00:06:00] of every style, every home. And I think the whole goal in the campaign was to be able to show that, not just say that. And so by bringing in different personalities, some recognizable, some just relatable, we felt like we could showcase that breadth, but in ways that, a consumer looks at the ad, the campaign and says, Oh, I see myself in that. [00:06:17] I know that I can get what I'm looking for. as it comes to the winds, it's still early days, just launching in March. Not a ton of time. But we're seeing really positive response to the casting to the breadth of personalities were showing. It's quite memorable as a result. So we're seeing good spikes in attention metrics. [00:06:35] We know it's resonant, and we know that people are associating it with wayfair. So for us, that own ability was a really important goal in the campaign. [00:06:43] Ilyse: TV spots during the Oscars. Yes. What was the impact of those pretty high profile ads? [00:06:49] Kara: Oh, I think it was really nice as we went on this more of an evolution than a revolution of the brand. It was really nice to be able to showcase that in a big splashy way and have as many people [00:07:00] see it as possible. And then as you've seen and will continue to see over the course of the year, we're really building on that. [00:07:06] So we have a few different spots. They all exist in this world of the waverhood and, that sort of, The sort of universal experiences that people have in their communities are the things we're trying to show in all different ways. Now beyond those [00:07:19] Damian: Now beyond those big TV spots, are there other sort of digital channels that you're exploring? [00:07:24] Kara: lot of this campaign was not just about the what, but the where. And so we've definitely taken an expanded lens to how we show up for our customers, and really trying to make sure we understand where they're spending time. We show up there and then as a result are additive to their experience, too And you know some of the newer spaces were in definitely moving more into streaming video Moving more into audio which we hadn't done before home tends to be quite a visual category So that's been a really exciting experiment for us and then working with all sorts of creators I think that's an emerging area [00:08:00] for us but really important for thinking about home and showcasing style and self expression [00:08:06] Damian: a sort of Specific demographic. You mentioned young homeowners. That's interesting. And that perhaps predetermines which channels you might like to engage people in. [00:08:16] Kara: Absolutely. [00:08:17] we are a mass brand. We do have something for everyone. But at the same time, when you think about who's spending disproportionately on their home, who has more needs, it's definitely the folks who are going through these meaningful life events where their notion of home is changing. And so really the sort of bullseye of that are young families. [00:08:36] you're getting married, you're moving in together, you're trying to merge styles maybe successfully, maybe less successfully, you have parents who are now thinking about safety and designing a nursery all the way through durability as the kids get older. And then, moving on up through to empty nesters. [00:08:53] There's a very different set of needs. So we really want to start with that sort of nucleus of a starter family, a young family, [00:09:00] and grow the relationship from [00:09:01] Damian: That absolutely makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. [00:09:11] Ilyse: an e commerce company? That's [00:09:13] Kara: that's a fantastic question. for us, we're longtime digital marketers. Digital is a very direct path to our site. And so a lot of the challenges when you're, telling a story and you're trying to guide towards that less direct path to get to site, how do you do so? And, help the customer understand what they should expect when they show up. [00:09:31] And so for me, the things that I'm thinking about all the time are storytelling. Really trying to make sure that we are contextually relevant wherever we're showing up, again, something that we're tackling with the new distribution channels. and then really making sure that a company that has been so digitally minded is making that connection. [00:09:50] And so, now under my purview is our on site team. Marketing team and thinking about when you see us in a TV ad, and then you show up on our home page. How do we make that feel like a [00:10:00] continuous journey? so it's definitely been a journey. I think it's an exciting one. Again, as somebody who's been with this brand for a long time, it's really exciting to see us lean more into that storytelling. [00:10:09] Ilyse: So you've been with Wayfair now for over 10 years. In that time frame, How would you categorize and characterize the changes in the media landscape? [00:10:20] Kara: I really think how the consumer expects to discover content has changed dramatically. Where they go, Who they go to, how they think about sharing. It's just, it's changing so rapidly and continues to do so. So for us, as we think about a category that is quite emotive, quite personal. Quite unique to an individual. [00:10:43] We want to make sure that we can show up in a way that helps somebody discover what they're looking for or discover that perfect piece. And so, you know, insofar as the media landscape, it's not just turning to a single celebrity or a single friend. You actually have access to so much. And so, we want to be a [00:11:00] breakthrough voice. [00:11:00] We want to help people parse through that and find that perfect thing, which ends up being then this ultimate combination of content and commerce.  [00:11:09] Ilyse: How does Wayfair go about measuring the impact of the users on its sites?  [00:11:16] Kara: yeah. So I mean, picking up on that thread of bridging the offline and the online, I think what's been, you know, a challenge faced by many brands is that you have to think about that total ecosystem that a customer is interacting with and how you can understand how they're moving through it, what they're seeing, what they're reacting to. [00:11:34] And so for us, we've been on a little bit of a journey to expand how we think about measurement. we've Certainly done a lot of investment in multi touch attribution, especially being more digitally native. we're expanding to think about running different kinds of experiments, understanding, lift on brand metrics over the short term and over the long term. [00:11:54] and then adding to our based model arsenal. what's great about being e commerce [00:12:00] first, though, is we do get a lot of first party data on our customers. We can see how they move around our site. We know where they've come from, largely, and we can start to stitch that story together so that we can serve them better through personalized mediums as well as an aggregate understand, where they're gravitating towards. [00:12:17] Ilyse: What are some of the major KPIs that you try to hit or some of those analytics that you really strive for? [00:12:25] Kara: Yeah, for us, we always just want to build a notion of impact. And I think what's been growing us as marketers is that's not a singular definition. And so it depends on the campaign. It depends on the goal of the test. when we're thinking about offline marketing or brand marketing, we're looking for immediate recall. [00:12:44] We're looking for a lift in certain impression metrics. or, perception metrics, rather, depending on what we're trying to convey through the campaign, all the way through to more of the mid funnel and consideration, where are we driving visits? What share of those are from new customers versus prior customers?[00:13:00]  [00:13:00] And then how are those customers engaging on site? Are they purchasing right away? Did they come in because they saw a specific category or style? All the way through to how many visits does it take before you're comfortable making a large purchase? and so we follow them, you can call it a funnel, though it tends to not be quite so linear as a funnel. [00:13:18] Um, yeah. [00:13:19] Ilyse: in some cases, the funnel has kind of died with like e commerce. Yeah, [00:13:23] Kara: it's much more of, I said the word before, an ecosystem, right? Like things are moving together non linearly and it's about telling that story, that narrative internally and then playing it back to the customer to give them what they're looking for.  [00:13:37] Damian: as we, you know, look to 2025, what are the things that are sort of exciting you in terms of innovation when it comes to marketing? [00:13:44] Yeah, [00:13:48] Kara: and back again, I think we really want to create a total experience for customers, and that'll be through storytelling. That'll be through working with different types of [00:14:00] partners, really thinking about how consumers want to do discovery, and, that's going to be a big focus for us. [00:14:06] I think like many brands, we are exploring the right use cases for AI to power a lot of what we do. There's everything from the, the stuff behind the walls of how do you get more efficient in your processes all the way through, expanding the number of creatives you're able to put out in a given test. [00:14:24] so that's very much an area of investment and innovation for us. and then, you know, as we continue to learn through the store, going back to where we started and understanding how we can just make customers lives easier, you think about expanding that to the entire delivery experience, any type of follow on customer service that's needed. [00:14:44] There's a lot of places where we think we're quite differentiated and we always want to take a technology first approach to it. [00:14:51] Ilyse: And that's it for this edition of The Current Podcast. [00:14:53] Damian: We'll be back next week, so stay tuned. [00:14:56] Ilyse: The Current Podcast's theme is by Love Caliber.

“Just as I carefully choose my outfits and accessories every day, I put the same thought into how my room would look,” shares Amanda Zuckerman, co-founder and president of Dormify, a leading retailer specializing in college dorm and apartment essentials. This week, Amanda joins Lindsay Pinchuk to dive into the importance of truly listening to the community around a brand—a practice that has been central to Dormify's success.Amanda's entrepreneurial journey began in her own college dorm, where she identified a gap in the market for stylish, functional decor. This insight sparked the creation of Dormify, a thriving business now partnered with nearly 900 colleges and universities and supported by a vibrant community of over 1,000 student ambassadors. But what really drives Dormify's growth? Amanda emphasizes the critical need to understand and connect with Generation Z, the company's primary customers.Reflecting on Dormify's early days, Amanda recounts how they built their brand from the ground up, starting with a WordPress blog that engaged college students and their families. This focus on content and community laid the foundation for their success and allowed them to seamlessly transition to emerging social media platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok. A pivotal moment came when they embraced a TikTok strategy, inspired by advice from Gary Vaynerchuk, leading to a significant boost in their following and engagement. Amanda shares practical advice for aspiring female founders, emphasizing the power of networking, finding the right strategic advisors, and staying in tune with your customers. Quotes“As our customers and their content consumption habits changed and evolved, we followed suit. We were very much the type of brand that jumped on every social platform as soon as we learned about it. We had to just experiment and gain traction.” (12:56 | Amanda Zuckerman) “If you have something you want to talk about and content you want to put out there, just start doing it, no matter what is holding you back.” (16:59 | Amanda Zuckerman)“Community is really important to the brand. As I mentioned, we position ourselves as a big sister to all of those college students. That means going above and beyond, with customer service at a really high level… I often refer to our customer service team—or rather, our customer experience team—as therapists in a way.” (39:02 | Amanda Zuckerman)“Staying close to our customer is probably the number one thing that differentiates us from any of the competitors in our space. No other competitor understands the customer like we do, and that's because we've made it a priority.” (41:11 | Amanda Zuckerman)Connect with Amanda Zuckerman:https://www.dormify.com/http://www.instagram.com/dormifyConnect with your target customer!

These holograms look so real!” Koji exclaimed, his voice brimming with astonishment.Ja: 彼は最新の技術に目がない。En: He was always fascinated by the latest technology.Ja: 愛子はそんな浩志を見て笑いました。En: Aiko laughed as she watched Koji's excitement.Ja: 「浩志、あれ見て！あの店は本物？それともホログラム？」愛子は指をさして尋ねました。En: “Koji, look at that! Is that store real or a hologram?” Aiko asked, pointing ahead.Ja: 彼女が指さした先には、まるで実際の店のようなホログラムの市場が広がっていました。En: Where she pointed, a holographic market stretched out, looking just like a real store.Ja: 果物、洋服、アクセサリー、なんでも揃っています。En: Fruits, clothes, accessories—everything was there.Ja: 由紀も興味津々です。En: Yuki was also intrigued.Ja: 「さあ、行ってみよう！」由紀が元気いっぱいに言いました。En: “Come on, let's check it out!” Yuki said energetically.Ja: 三人は手を取り合って市場に足を踏み入れました。En: The three friends held hands and stepped into the market.Ja: すると、彼らの周りの風景が一変しました。En: Instantly, the scenery around them transformed.Ja: 香りが漂い、人々の声が響き、まるで本物の市場にいるようです。En: A fragrance wafted through the air, voices of people echoed—it was as if they were in a real market.Ja: 浩志はホログラムのフルーツの前で立ち止まりました。En: Koji stopped in front of the holographic fruits.Ja: 「食べられないのかな？」彼は手を伸ばしてみましたが、手はフルーツをすり抜けました。En: “I wonder if we can eat these?” He reached out, but his hand passed right through the fruit.Ja: 「やっぱり食べられないのね。」愛子は苦笑しました。En: “As expected, we can't eat them,” Aiko said with a wry smile.Ja: だが、その時、市場の中心で何かが光りました。En: Just then, something lit up in the center of the market.Ja: 三人が近づくと、それは特別なカウンターでした。En: As the three of them approached, they saw a special counter.Ja: カウンターの上には、「ホログラムを購入して現実の品に交換できます！」と書かれた看板が立っています。En: A sign above it read, “Purchase holograms and exchange them for real items!”Ja: 「やってみよう！」由紀が興奮して言いました。En: “Let's try it!” Yuki said excitedly.Ja: 三人はホログラムのアイテムを選んで購入しました。En: The three selected and purchased some holographic items.Ja: 購入後、データは自動的に彼らのスマホに送られました。En: Once the purchase was made, data was automatically sent to their smartphones.Ja: 「すごい、買えた！」浩志が歓声を上げました。En: “Wow, we bought it!” Koji cheered.Ja: 彼らは市場を出て、近くの実店舗に向かいました。En: They exited the market and headed to a nearby physical store.Ja: そこにはホログラムと同じアイテムが並んでいます。En: There, the same items as the holograms were displayed.Ja: 「スマホのデータを見せてください。」店員が丁寧に言います。En: “Please show me the data on your smartphones,” the store clerk said politely.Ja: 三人がデータを見せると、すぐにリアルなアイテムと交換されました。En: When the three showed their data, the clerk immediately exchanged it for real items.Ja: 「これは新しいショッピングの形だね！」由紀が満足げに言いました。En: “This is a new form of shopping!” Yuki said, satisfied.Ja: その後も、三人は渋谷を歩き回り、ホログラムと現実の融合を楽しみました。En: After that, the three continued to wander around Shibuya, enjoying the fusion of holograms and reality.Ja: 技術の進化に驚きつつ、新しい冒険の予感に胸を膨らませました。En: Astonished by the advancement of technology, they were filled with excitement for new adventures.Ja: この日、浩志、愛子、由紀の三人はただの買い物だけでなく、未来の世界に一歩踏み入れたのです。En: That day, Koji, Aiko, and Yuki didn't just shop; they took a step into the future.Ja: 彼らはその体験を通して、技術と現実が作り出す無限の可能性を知りました。En: Through this experience, they realized the endless possibilities created by the merging of technology and reality.Ja: そして、三人は普段の生活に戻りましたが、再びあのホログラムの市場に行く日を楽しみにしていました。En: Although they returned to their daily lives, they looked forward to the day they would visit the holographic market again.Ja: それは新しい冒険の始まりを意味していたのです。En: It marked the beginning of a new adventure.
