How Macys.com Increased Top Line Revenue
During my tenure as President of macys.com, one of my abiding principles was to focus on growing the topline revenue and not be as consumed with the costs to grow. Over time I learned that with the appropriate checks and balances in place on the operational side of the business, combined with a clear target of what success looked like, the increased revenue would more often than not meet or exceed the profit hurdle.
Amazon Rex
Amazon won the war for the next big generation of buyers, the Millennials. That infamous group that ruins everything is going to smother out the last breath of the American Mall experience because their growing purchasing power is being spent online. And I’m okay with that. Malls are crowded and full of people who walk with a complete disregard for those around them.
Amazon’s War for Online Shoppers
Some companies have a way of injecting themselves so fluidly into our lives that we no longer think of them as a company, but as a commonplace tool. When someone asks you a question that you don’t know the answer, your response is probably, “Did you Google it?” If your answer is, “Did you Bing it?” then you should check out this thing called Google, though “Did you Bing it?” does have a better ring to it.
The Rise of Amazon
Between the return of high waisted jeans and Power Rangers to millennials debating if Ross and Rachel were on a break, there’s a lot of 90’s nostalgia going around. You remember the 90’s, right? You know, back when Amazon was just casually selling books online and you could still stroll into one of Border’s thousand plus locations if you didn’t want to wait on Amazon’s slow shipping time.

Takeaways from ShopTalk 2018

Stop Giving Away Money
While current Exit Intent technology can provide a useful tool for engaging potential customers, the current shotgun approach of providing offers to all your shoppers lacks targeted intelligence and is causing you to give a lot of revenue away.
Changing the Discount Mindset
When we entered the recession in 2008, retailers began to overly rely on large discounts to bring wary consumers into their stores. But as consumer confidence continues to rise, brands and retailers find themselves stuck trying to find a way out of the promotional holes they’ve dug, placating a clientele who continuously expects steep discounts. These constant promotions are hurting retailers overall profitability.
