💡 Am I the only one who hasn’t seen a shift in their business model? It’s still a heavy promotional brand, and if that’s the path to turnaround, I’m even more confused. Gap’s reliance on discounts seems to clash with any attempt to regain long-term brand equity. Historically, brands that over-leverage promotions often condition customers to expect lower prices, making it harder to charge premium rates later. What we’re seeing across the retail landscape is a shift towards experiential shopping, localized inventory, and direct-to-consumer channels. Yet, Gap seems to remain stagnant in its approach. If the turnaround strategy is based on volume-driven promotions, how sustainable is that in a retail environment where consumer expectations are evolving so rapidly? I’d be interested to hear if anyone has seen signs of deeper operational or strategic changes that could support long-term growth. #RetailTrends #BrandStrategy #FashionRetail #ConsumerBehavior #RetailInnovation #BusinessStrategy #GapTurnaround #RetailMarketing #DirectToConsumer #BrandEquity

A quick trip down retail memory lane… Limited Too has officially come back after almost 15 years in retirement. The spinoff Limited Too was created for Tween girls in 1987. In 2008, it was renamed Justice and eventually acquired by Ascena Retail Group in 2009. In 2020, Bluestar Alliance bought Justice from bankruptcy proceedings. They also manage Limited Too along with B. Riley Financial. Justice is now exclusively sold through Walmart and its Justice website. The Limited Too collection is in all Kohl's stores and online featuring 74 different Y2K inspired items just in time for back-to-school shopping. The styles are cute and age appropriate. Quality is nice. My question is WHY? Why now? Does the name mean anything? Is Kohl’s just looking to add another brand to its umbrella? Kohl’s also announced a partnership with Aéropostale and an expanded Madden Girl assortment. Are they hoping to pull on the strings of nostalgia with Millennial parents wanting to shop for their daughters? I want this to work because in a sea of clothes trying to make tween girls look like they are in their 20s, this Limited Too assortment feels relevant and age appropriate. BUT… It’s already going out the door at 25% off with no special placement on the Kohl’s homepage. Kohl’s scream it to the roof tops – come check this out!! Do you think Kohl’s will do the Limited Too brand justice (pun intended)? #retail #apparel #tween #clothes #y2k #tween #nostalgia #backtoschool

Decarbonizing our global economy is a tough task; I was drawn to that challenge when I joined Avery Dennison almost 3 years ago. I've been continually impressed by how our teams look to innovate and open up opportunities for our customers to drive sustainability using our innovation and products. Making physical goods, be it food, or plastics, or clothes, or EV batteries requires complex supply chains with myriad sustainability challenges. But real data and real visibility can help overcome those challenges and Avery Dennison's solutions can help make that possible. #supplychain #sustainability #transparency

12 years ago, Hive refreshed the HB Fuller brand in Australia. With the long weekend just around the corner, will you get to relax, or is it time to stick, seal, or fill that job you’ve been putting off? Doing jobs around the house is about as Australian as it gets, with our love affair with property and can-do attitude.

🎉 Celebrating 9 Years of Select Shades! 🎉 Nine years ago, we set out to create something different—a company that not only brought a world of sunglasses to the world of gifting but also redefined what brick-and-mortar shopping could be for sunglass lovers. Today, we’re proud to reflect on how far we’ve come, the lessons we’ve learned, and the incredible journey that has brought us here. It hasn’t been easy. From navigating a disastrous early store location to weathering the storm of COVID-19, rising costs, challenging lease negotiations, and balancing inventory management, we’ve faced our share of hurdles. But through it all, we never wavered in our values or the type of company we aspired to be. Even in the leanest times, we’ve remained committed to supporting our communities, giving back to those in need, and taking care of our team. We’re proud to say we survived the pandemic without eliminating a single job, grew even in 2020, and continued to innovate with industry-firsts like our customizable Ray-Ban and Oakley experiences. Over the years, we’ve created jobs, built a culture that values retention and collaboration, and evolved into a company that captivates us daily. Jason and I are humbled by the contributions of our incredible team and the loyalty of the customers who’ve stood by us through every chapter. Here’s to nine years of challenges, triumphs, and unwavering commitment—and to the exciting chapters yet to come. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey. Cheers to the next big milestone and an even brighter future in year 10! 🥂 #SelectShades #Anniversary #Sunglasses #Innovation #Gratitude
