A weekly podcast with the latest e-commerce news and events. Episode 198 covers the 2019 holiday forecasts, store visits, and news.

Reviews

Jason & Scot both received the new Apple AirPods Pro and the Amazon Echo Buds.  Both liked the Apple product better.  Echo buds had better noise cancelation, but an inferior fit/design, poor microphone, and a case that’s too big for a pocket.

  • Nordstrom NYC Flagship
  • Amazon Bookstore remodels and FourStar
  • Showfields
  • Macy’s new Story display 
  • Starbucks Pickup Only location

Apple 5th Ave Flagship Reopens

News

  • 2019 Holiday season has 6 fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas

  • Barneys Bankruptcy
  • eBay, Nike, and Underarmour get new CEO's

Listener Questions

Q1: Michelle Grant - Amazon and Walmart have patents around predictive shipping. Could you speculate on what impact predictive shipping will have on commerce? You mentioned it in episode 187, but it would be great to get more details.

Q2: Holly Marie Pfeifer What’s the future look like for personalization with ITP cracking down on Safari and talks about Google being close behind in restricting third party cookies?

Q3: Jeff Vogl I saw Jason’s question to Tobi about performance and PWAs, do you see them actually sticking? I know they “hot” right now, but how many PWAs do either of you have on your phone? Of those, besides Amazon, how many do you really use? Seems like something that works for the Amazons and Nordstrom’s of the world, but do you see it as a mid market reality?

Q4: Karri Koivuniemi Any new info regarding what Adobe is doing with the Magento? What's your brief take on the current ecom platform landscape?
