Fast Five | Target Takes A Tumble, Gap Sells On Amazon, & Nike Just Does It Again

In today’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, Sezzle, and Silk, A&MCRG's Jonathan Sharp and Billy Christensen stopped by to discuss: - Target's new larger format store and what it means in the long-run amid its lackluster earnings report this week. - Gap crying, "Uncle," as it decides to open its own shop on Amazon. - TikTok piloting in-app commerce and whether they will be any more successful at it than Instagram (Anne seems to think so). - Nike's launch of its new marketplace for digital goods, .Swoosh. - And finished off with a discussion about Victoria's Secret's new partnership with Verifyt and if it signals a new era for fit tech or just more customer frustration. There's all that, plus dragon masks at British sporting events, hypercolor t-shirts, and everyone's favorite Turkey Day treat that Anne would gladly take a pass on -- gravy, mmm mmm good!
