The future of 'The Mall' is... 🛍 Recently Kohl's has partnered with Babies 'R' Us to launch stores within Kohl's retail locations, this is in addition to their partnership with SEPHORA! 💄 (I'm only 7 minutes away from a Kohl's with a Sephora so this has been a lifesaver for me when I run out of certain products! 😁 ) Also Kendra Scott and Ulta Beauty have partnered with Target to launch mini locations within Target stores! (Again, only 5 minutes away from a Target with Kohl's so yet another life saver! 🤣 ) My hypothesis is that the future of 'The Mall' is going to be the store within a store! Target & Kohl's along with Macy's (they have a partnership with Toys 'R' Us 🦒 ) Do you think we'll see more specialty retail stores inside big box stores? Who do you think will team up next?! 😮 #retail #dtc #specialtyretail #bigboxretail #departmentstores #ecommerce

Had the chance to visit the historic Macy's in Philadelphia, home to the world's largest playing pipe organ—a true marvel that brings the store to life with two shows daily. 🎶 In today's retail landscape, where consumers have endless options, a differentiated customer experience is crucial for standing out. While price remains an important factor, it's the overall experience that truly sets a retailer apart. Especially within brick-and-mortar stores, where most retail commerce still takes place, consumers need a compelling reason to choose one store over another. Kudos to Macy's for recognizing this and leaning into a unique value proposition that goes beyond the transaction. Retailers, take note: Creating memorable experiences is the key to winning and retaining customers. You may not have the world's largest playing pipe organ, but if you can't articulate your differentiated value prop (and make it come to life) then you've got bigger problems 👏 #RetailExperience #CustomerExperience

The competition 🎖 In the world of advertising, rivalry fuels creativity and innovation. We've all seen the iconic battles between major brands, each vying for the top spot in consumers' minds. Take Pepsi and Coca-Cola, for instance. Their advertising duels are legendary, from the Pepsi Challenge to Coca-Cola's unforgettable holiday campaigns. These brands continuously push the envelope, setting new standards for marketing excellence. But it's not just Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Think of McDonald's vs. Burger King, where witty ads and clever marketing stunts keep us entertained and engaged. Or the intense competition between Apple and Samsung, each unveiling groundbreaking technologies and compelling campaigns that redefine the industry. These rivalries drive not just brand loyalty but also a culture of constant innovation. They remind us that in marketing, it's all about staying ahead, thinking outside the box, and always striving to connect with your audience in meaningful ways. Which brand rivalry is your favorite and why? Mine is the joker and the king #BrandRivalry #Advertising #Innovation #Pepsi #CocaCola #Apple #Samsung #McDonalds #Burgerking
