Amazon Ads, Best Buy’s Marketplace & Macy’s Ever-Changing Strategic Narrative

In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, and Scratch Event DJs, Chris and Anne discussed:

  • Macy’s shuttering some of its small format stores (Source)
  • Amazon's $11 Billion AI investment in the great state of Georgia (Source)
  • Best Buy launching a new marketplace with Mirakl (Source)
  • Amazon allowing online retailers to use its advertising tools (Source)
  • And closed with a look at the 1 + 1 = 3 partnership between eBay and Facebook’s marketplace (Source)

There’s all that, plus Tim Robinson of Blue Yonder also stopped by for Five Insightful Minutes on returns management, and we also had a NYC-style lightning round, replete with long cab ride discussions about horseshoes, bad mice, and Anne’s brief stint as a tiara model.
