How AI, e-commerce, and shopping local come together with new tools.
May 28, 2024
This morning I greeted our team by saying, “Good morning, Scooby-Doos of website sleuthing.” I then wondered what the Scooby-Doo van would look like with the words “Shop Local” on it. In the past, one would spend time to make this mock-up in Photoshop. My colleague Mark was able to make the desired image in minutes using the AI tool Copilot and no Photoshop.
The ease with which one can use AI to make new images and envision ideas will impact retail. ...

How social media influencers with the help of Amazon are bypassing brick-and-mortar retail shops
May 23, 2024
Kiara Springs, a 25-year old, is part of a new retail trend, shares The New York Times. She sells about $10k/month online but doesn’t own a brick-and-mortar retail store, pay a landlord rent, go to the wholesale markets, or have a POS system. Her “sidewalk” to get traffic is TikTok, and her “POS” is Amazon. Her “stockroom” is the brand’s warehouse. She has an Amazon affiliate account and goods are drop shipped.
Do website service providers need a digital health label?
May 18, 2024
When you pick up a package of Oreos or yogurt at the grocery store, you can see the nutrition (or lack of it!) on the nutrition label on the back. Health advocates are encouraging the FDA to make warnings more obvious on packages—such as by placing information on the front of the package, shares The Wall St. Journal. Advocates have looked abroad for inspiration. In Mexico, you’ll find labels with a black octagon, resembling a stop sign, on the front of Doritos and Nature Valley ...

How registrants can add a link at the top of their The Knot website leading to their registry at your store.
April 26, 2024
Your Shop Local Store has a new feature: Your registrants can now share their registry at your store on The Knot more easily.
By default, The Knot lists manually added registries at the bottom of the page. The Knot lists registries from big-box names, like Target and Crate & Barrel, at the top of the page. Unfortunately, this makes it harder for gift givers to find your store in a registrant's list of registries.
There isn’t a way to change the page order to have the ...
