Solving the Mystery of How to Use AI to Help Indie Retalers
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.

The ease with which one can use AI to make new images and envision ideas will impact retail.  ...

A symbol of French craftsmanship, the Baccarat Harcourt 1841 Collection is characterized by its architectural form: a stunning shape from the flat cut pattern of the bowl to the beveled geometry of the stem down to the hexagonal foot.

From the table of kings to contemporary times, sipping from the iconic design is taking part in the House’s storied and elegant past.

Baccarat, staple of timeless modernity. View Post

TikTok Tick-Tock ⏳: Time Is Running Out on Traditional 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.

Health is Wealth: Healthy Websites 🍎
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 ...
