Dear LinkedIn community, Sharing the latest from Foot Locker: They reported a holiday-quarter loss, and the market response has been significant, with shares taking a 30% plunge. As we navigate the dynamic retail landscape, it's clear the sneaker giant is facing challenges. Despite ongoing efforts led by former Ulta boss Mary Dillon, the company has also adjusted its guidance for the current year and delayed a key profitability target. Change is inevitable, and Foot Locker is in the midst of a turnaround journey. Challenges may be tough, but the resilience of a brand often lies in its ability to adapt. Here's to hoping the steps taken lead to a stronger and more resilient future. Let's stay connected for more updates on industry shifts and strategies. Your insights are always welcome. #FootLocker #RetailIndustry #BusinessNews #TurnaroundJourney #Adaptability #TheSocialTalks

Matches Became a Discount Brand In a deal that would have made Gordon Gekko (of fictional show Wall Street) proud Frasers group has purchased the now bankrupt MATCHES brand and intellectual property only. I recently analysed over 100k customer conversations, reviews and spoke to customers of luxury's leading ecommerce retailers. #datamining #sentimentanlaysis I discovered the main perception with luxury customers of Matches brand is competitive pricing and discounting. Frasers Group own a business called Flannels which sells affordable- discounted luxury products. Matches's brand fits well in amongst their other luxury business's and this is likely why they purchased the brand rights. Matches didn't start life as a discount luxury retailer and part of their downfall was likely because of this position they became stuck in. In the second edition of my newsletter LUXE (published tomorrow) i provide detailed analysis and actionable insights on more of luxury's leading ecommerce retailers. Sign up to LUXE.
