Omni Talk is the retail blog for retailers by retailers. It's candid, authentic, and absolutely no holds barred.
About us
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

How Beachwaver Became Successful Going All In On Video Commerce We’ve heard about video commerce for a while, but have you ever talked to a brand who’s successfully done it? Well, this is your chance. We’re kicking off a new Ask An Expert Series in partnership with our friends at Firework where we’ll be interviewing several retailers and brands who were first movers in video commerce and we’ll be asking them what worked, what they might change the next time around, and get their advice for other retailers and brands about to embark on the journey. We are sitting down with Beachwaver CEO and Co-Founder Sarah Potempa and Firework VP, of Strategic Accounts, Beauty, Kristi Vannatter, to ask them how Beachwaver used video commerce as part of their strategy to build awareness and establish consumer confidence in their brand.
