We've just calculated that from the idea of opening the offline Garne store to its soft opening passed just two months. We think it's a very good result as for the first store. What do you think? #Garne #shopopening #storeopening

Andy Clarke - CEO ASDA 60 Second Shoots Total journey time 7 hours. Total time away 12 hours ASDA HQ is busy, there’s a lot going on. Big atrium. It was busy in the photographic sense too. What with all the stalls, food venues, break out areas and palm fronds there was no where on the ground floor for a clean cover shoot. As with most impressive atriums, the views are up, not level where your subject is and I don’t usually shoot up the nose. But up that escalator I could see some dappled sunlight falling on a small section of ASDA green wall. That was my spot. I quickly set up some gear and did come mental calculations about how the light would fall on a human. Would it be too harsh? How tall was the CEO? Would the sun move before he arrived? I didn’t have to wait too long. Suddenly Andy Clarke appears with staff; PR, PA, a couple of other people. He walks right up to me with and with a firm friendly handshake says, “Its very nice to meet you. I do apologise, there is nothing I can do about it but I literally have 60 seconds.” He looks at his watch, “And your time starts now!” There is a certain skill or self awareness which allows you to calmly and patiently direct a sitter while inwardly your brain is screaming “Hurry up you eejit!! (to myself not the sitter)” You sense the clouds moving serenely across the sun and the second hand moving like and unstoppable oil tanker toward an ultimate conclusion. Oil tankers actually move quite fast btw - we nearly got run over by one off the Western Australian coast once. But I digress. We got there. On the dot. And he was gone. I looked at my watch and wondered where I should get lunch while I waited for my train in two hours. #corporateportrait #editorialportrait #businessportrait #asda #availablelightportrait #cbi #influentialportraits

This article comes out on the heels of a post I made yesterday. Not directly related- but outside of the ever evolving retail landscape and the move to shop online as Matt Garfield stated, department stores such as Macy's have been known to offer a vast amount of categories and sku's and a more than confusing promo pricing strategy. This almost always leads to an overwhelming shopping experience for the customer- especially if you are trying to attract a digitally savvy consumer as a way to evolve. More consumers are choosing quality over quantity and brands and companies that are experts in their specific niche. That niche💡, however, could be anything as long as its claimed, proven, and executed with excellence. ➡️ From a product category, to specific manufacturing processes, to their in store experiences, all the way to offering amazing value at the right time at the right prices ** 😉 aka off price. Cheering Tony Spring and the Macy's team on as they build their bold new chapter. Amy Pocsik Brenda M. Salamone Sally Marrer Meghan Houle, ACC #retailstrategy #retailinnovation

At Via.Delivery Corp. were defying what Omni Talk Retail is thinking is a 10 year ramp up. How?? First off, we make these lockers available on retailers checkouts. Next, we make the integration easy for the carriers and finally, we communicate to the customers when that package is made available for pickup. Best of all, we do all of this NOW!! Recent results.. staggering.. approx 15 lockers in N. Atlanta situated at grocery stores and a few significant malls. Adoption overall.. almost 35% of our total BOPA deliveries (in that test market of course)!! Keep in mind, the test was limited with one major retail brand having 5 different divisions that already adopt at over 10% of their overall deliveries to Alternative Delivery Points.... 10 years.. far sooner...!!! #Lockers #BOPA #FEDEXHAL #UPSAccessPoints
