David shares his vast experience and perspective as we explore some of the most important evolving and emerging dynamics in retail today. We delve into the great wholesale v. DTC debate, explore how to use customer data to drive growth, and go deep on the outlook for department stores, before wrapping up with a discuss on fast-fashion's global impact.
As usual we open by dissecting the most important news of the week including how the US job market is the gift that keeps giving. Then it's on to Amazon's WTF JWO moment, insight into Shein's growing profitability, and ways the "lipstick index" may be leading us awry. We wrap up with a quick view of how a few of Steve's 2024 predictions seem to be tracking so far.
Check out Steve's Harvard Business Review article on how safe might be the new risky.
