Buy now. Regret later. M&S has found a new way to help customers shop. Lululemon has discovered that rebuilding a business might involve actual raw materials. And Ross Stores has stumbled upon a revolutionary retail concept: Opening shops.
Welcome to this week’s The V-Spot News. Not for the good of my health or cos Hendrik Laubscher and Gireesh Sahukar love this, no, it is all a capitalist ploy by me to stay relevant. My chins in the video suggest a month or two away from captialist pleasures would be welcome.
We also have second-hand clothing statistics that sound suspiciously convincing, Christmas toys getting more expensive, a rare moment of optimism from Moody’s, Dungeons & Dragons in Montreal and California diesel prices doing their bit for customer experience.
And we’re playing One Truth, Two Lies. Apple. Amazon. Elon Musk. One of them did something remarkable this week.
Possibly. It’s the ecommerce news. Nearly.
🎬 Watch this week’s episode. Also on Youtube, Spotify, Twitter, The Tok and Substack. Yeah, they all forget about editorial standards on Fridays.
We’re also looking for a brand with a sense of humour to sponsor the programme. Apparently that isn’t yet a recognised media-buying category. Here’s the six minutes you’re not getting back again.
