Much of retail is struggling with supply chain issues, but the problems will boost the online resale market. Read more about our research with Mercari in this Bloomberg article...

Thank you to @wbr777 for sending me some photos of the new Market by Macy's which just opened in Snellville, Georgia - the first of this format in the Atlanta metro. This used to be an Office Depot and is off-mall. There's a Publix and a Target in the shopping center.

In 2020, Americans spent $139.6 billion on secondhand goods. And the market is on course to grow by 14.6% this year. Find out more about the reuse economy in a new report we've worked on with Mercari.

The secondhand market is set to grow by 24% this holiday season. As retail grapples with supply chain issues, more consumers are turning to resale for their needs.

Describing Amazon as a monopoly is intellectually and linguistically fraudulent. Amazon is nowhere near a monopoly. In fact, most of Senator Warren’s arguments about Amazon are completely illogical and stem from her big-government mindset.

Should Macy's spin off its e-commerce business? Absolutely not! Doing so would be the beginning of the end for the iconic retailer. Grateful to Retail Dive's @daphnehowland for including my comments in this piece...

This report from Deutsche Bank that Walmart+ has 32 million members is laughably inaccurate. I saw some actual numbers a while back (last year) and they were nowhere near this! But, the falsity of the information can be seen from Walmart's own reporting.

Another strong set of retail sales numbers today - overall sales up 15.4% over August of last year. In cash terms, this equates to an $83.8 billion increase – the equivalent of every person spending an additional $260 during the month compared to 2020.

Retail predictions came thick and fast in the pandemic, but which will stick around and which will fall by the wayside?

Join us tomorrow (September 8th @ 11am ET / 8am PT / 4pm UK) to hear about what the future holds for retail and shopping!

Best Buy online sales down 28.1% in the latest quarter. Perfectly understandable because of last year's massive growth - but demonstrates the falsity of the 'online will accelerate indefinitely' and 'all pandemic online gains will stick' narratives.

Wall Street once felt stores were the wrong thing for Target to invest in. Of course, they were absolutely the right thing to invest in! I spoke to the Financial Times about Target’s strategies for growth…

Biggest criticism … yep, it’s Target’s Achilles’ heel: out of stocks and gaps on the shelves. This has only just opened so maybe they’re still stocking, but with Ulta behind them, there’s really no excuse for all these gaps! #Ulta #Target
