Omni Talk is the retail blog for retailers by retailers. It's candid, authentic, and absolutely no holds barred.
关于我们
Omni Talk was started by Chris Walton in the summer of 2017. After a nearly 20-year career in retail, Chris decided to venture out on his own and to create a platform for a community of individuals who share a passion for the evolution of omnichannel retailing and a desire to explore new and better ways to do retail. Anne Mezzenga soon joined the fold in the Fall of 2017, taking Omni Talk to new heights, and Chris and Anne have not looked back since. Since joining forces, Chris and Anne have prided themselves on keeping Omni Talk candid. Above all else, Omni Talk will always be real. It is meant to tell the truth. Its content does not come from pundits or journalists. It comes from real people with real experience in the business. Chris and Anne refuse to let Omni Talk be saturated by corporate speak, speak that often times is meant to serve the corporate best interest rather than the best interest of you, the reader, as an individual. Omni Talk’s “serious and sometimes comic musings” are meant to give an opinion on the past and future of retail. Some opinions may be right, some most certainly may be wrong — but, no matter what, they are meant to provoke curiosity about the retail industry that we all know and love, and, most importantly, they come from the heart, with nothing but the best of intentions. Chris and Anne believe deeply that Minneapolis and other cities around the country can once again become the next epicenters of retail innovation. Omni Talk is their refusal to give into apathy. After all, innovation is not Seattle’s birthright. To sign up and champion the cause with Chris and Anne, please subscribe via OmniTalk.blog

?? Thankful for Another Week of Retail Drama? Chris and Anne sure were! In this week's Retail Fast Five Podcast, Chris and Anne share what they were grateful for (and what they were not) in retail this week, including: - The The Wall Street Journal serving up hot takes about Target being "dull" - Kohl's hoping for seconds with new CEO Ashley Buchanan after another rough quarter - Qurate Retail Group's plan to feast on livestream & social media - TikTok sneaking product links to the table - Perplexity cooking up something special with new shopping features ?? Hot Take: Like your aunt's "famous" casserole, the Target "dull" narrative might not be what it seems... Plus: Chris's airport Shake Shack rant is better than any Black Friday deal ?? We are extra grateful to all our fans and all our sponsors making retail insights possible: Alvarez & Marsal Consumer and Retail Group, Avalara, Mirakl, Ownit AI and Ocampo Capital. ?? So grab a plate and listen to this week's full feast wherever you get your podcasts: ?? Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/gRwbTtVQ ?? Spotify: https://lnkd.in/ggrTdgq6 ??

?? Must-Watch: The Future of Retail Video Commerce Yesterday Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga had an incredible conversation with Jean-Denis Mariani (former CDO of Coty) and Firework's Kristi Vannatter live on LinkedIn about where retail tech is headed in 2025. Most eye-opening insight? Major retailers are still nervous about UGC content - even as consumers scroll through 300 feet of it daily! Key takeaways from their chat include: - AI-powered personalization is no longer optional - Nano influencers > celebrities for authentic engagement - Start small: "One country, one touchpoint, one audience" then scale The data is compelling: 3x engagement, 30-40% conversion lift ?? Our take: Video commerce isn't just for beauty brands anymore. Whether you're selling pans or refrigerators, showing your products in action through video is becoming table stakes. Chris and Anne loved having these retail tech veterans on our Front Porch Series. Join them and all of us at NRF (Booth #3951) to continue the conversation IRL!
