At last, exactly two years later, the long-awaited sequel to my hit, if overly censored, blog post: Five Shades Of Grey (How software buyers and license managers should be compliant without being submissive). The trigger is the SAP vs Diageo verdict , which generated a lot of hysterical blogging and tweeting with dire predictions for SAP customers. IMO most commentators have overlooked the crucial parts of the judgment and therefore significantly overstated the case's negative implications for S

As someone who writes about entrepreneurship and teaches others how to sell physical products online, I make a habit of following as many entrepreneurs as I can. It doesn’t matter if you’re famous or just starting out, I’ll at least check out your website to see what you have to say. But even though I love reading posts about entrepreneurship, I’ve become increasingly jaded with the cliches that I’ve been seeing. “Learn to fail” “Learn from your mi

Customers who shop on mobile do so with a different mindset than they do on any other channel. Research has shown that shoppers increasingly use mobile for early-stage browsing and discovery, then will switch to a different device to actually complete the purchase. And furthermore, Searchmetrics reported that during the 2016 holiday shopping season, 1 in 5 consumers solely relied on mobile devices to research gifts – before, in all likelihood, visiting a store’s website or brick-and-mortar

I’ve ended up somewhere smelly. The last couple of years I’ve been teaching people how to make their stores more successful. Unfortunately that means I’m entering the territory of gurus selling the overnight-6-figure-profit dream or other get rich quick schemes. Steering clear of this kind of BS is super important to me. That’s because I want to help people build businesses for the long haul.

Today I’m thrilled to have Michael Stelzner on the show. Now I was introduced to Mike by my friend Darren Rowse of Problogger and I’m really glad that he made the intro. Mike runs the ridiculously popular site Social Media Examiner which gets an insane amount of traffic. I’m just going to make a rough estimate here but I’m guessing somewhere in the 1.1 million uniques per month range.

Amazon is as big and traditional a retailer as I can think of. Well, I saw this question on my Amazon homepage (see red arrow ): Amazon doesn’t even sell invisibility cloaks. So why ask this question? Because it’s a fun question that a visitor wouldn’t expect to see on a site like Amazon. It’s also engaging. And if Amazon knows one thing it’s this: engagement drives brand recall, which drives everything else.

The results keep pouring in and they don’t bode well for brick & mortar retail. Across just about every sector and virtually every time period, traffic to physical stores continues to decline. Of course, for the most part, we aren’t buying less, we are shopping differently. The obvious dominant trend is the explosion of e-commerce, and the one player accounting for the most growth is Amazon.

In 2015, the number of sellers using Amazon Sponsored Products worldwide grew more than 100%. It’s no wonder that these paid advertising options are growing in popularity — with millions of retailers and billions of products on Amazon, it can feel nearly impossible for retailers to stand out from the crowd. As a retailer, you should be asking yourself if using Amazon Sponsored Products could help give you a boost to stand out from your competitors.

I used to attend the summer Outdoor Retailer back in the late ‘90s when I worked at Outside Magazine, and having grown up involved in, and surrounded by, the outdoors, the show always felt like Mecca. My life took a turn when I left Outside and moved to Portland, OR, not necessarily in a bad way, but just different.
