Interactive and unified – those are the two words we would use to describe the evolution of retail customer service in 2023 and beyond. So Omni Talk is pleased to announce that Talkdesk’s Antonio Gonzalez, Senior Manager of Industries Research & Insights, joins Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga for the latest installment of their Omni Talk Ask An Expert Series to provide his expert opinion on how retailers and brands should approach this new interactive and unified world of retail customer service. Collectively the three of them go deep on: – Talkdesk’s latest research findings on customer service expectations – The new touchpoints retailers and brands will need to meet these ever-changing expectations, including the metaverse and AR/VR – How to overcome staffing barriers and how to enable brand ambassadors and influencers to help with customer service and support – And, perhaps most importantly, how to unify and “integrate” data across retailers’ and brands’ many disparate systems And there's even some 50 First Date references thrown in for good measure! Finally, be sure to checkout the research study Antonio mentions here: https://www.talkdesk.com/resources/reports/the-future-of-retail-customer-service-interactive-and-unified/ *Sponsored Content*

In this latest episode of the Omni Talk Retail Spotlight Series, Shopreme Chief Customer Officer Nico Müller joins Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga to discuss what it takes to make a scan-and-go checkout system really work. With all the noise surrounding Wegmans' announcement last year, Chris and Anne wanted to learn what makes scan-and-go so successful in Europe. Or said another way, what is the real recipe for success that everyone should follow? To that end, Chris and Anne get the skinny from Nico on: – Loss prevention tactics, particularly closed entry and exit points - Easy mobile signup - Localized rollouts vs. one store pilots - Mobile-only payment options - And the importance of hands-free shopping for larger grocery trips There's a lot of noise out there surrounding scan-and-go shopping, and this podcast interview helps to clear it all up! *Sponsored Content*

In today’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, Sezzle, and Silk, Chris and Anne discussed: - The growing number of “zombie” Amazon Fresh stores lying dormant throughout the country. - Schnucks expanding its flexforce employment initiative to more stores and why it is an important initiative on which to keep an eye. - American Eagle taking its frenemy network approach directly to malls by way of a new warehouse leasing partnership with JLL. - DoorDash making another smart move, while Instacart struggles with its own identity, as it gets into return reverse logistics. - And closed with a spotlight on an interesting startup out of Israel, Super Duper, that asks the question, “If grocers are reticent to invest in microfulfillment tech, why not just become a microfulfillment-based grocer instead?” There’s all that, plus Fukubukuro lucky bags, the Nike Fit class Anne would most like to watch on Netflix, and both the disturbing and also the quite possibly pleasurable features of Kroger’s new smart apron.

Why all the angst? There’s all that, plus Gen Z luxuries, shorn McDreamies, and how Anne plans to “spice” up her life in 2023. Music. by hooksounds.com

In today’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, Sezzle, and Silk, Chris and Anne amazingly lauded every headline, including: - Sam’s Club’s decision to cut the price of its hot dog and soda combo to an FU Costco price of $1.38. - Amazon’s decision to pull its Cyber Monday deals forward to start on Saturday. - Best Buy’s ingenious idea of a virtual store to complement its in-store service experience. - Shop Premium Outlet’s virtual mall concept that provides a new digital outlet shopping experience towards which we think more and more brands will gravitate. - And closed with a discussion on whether or not Anne and I would have any problems with a robot at Sweetgreen making our salads (short answer: not in the slightest). There’s all that, plus Kentucky Fried English Pubs, Anne’s favorite high school Adidas wear, and our early rating of how good we think the new 80 for Brady movie will be. Music by hooksounds.com
