Fast Five | Amazon's Prime Disadvantages, Target’s Curbside Returns & Kohl's Pricing Pitfalls
In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne:
- Discussed Target's recent earnings announcement and what we think of Target taking Drive Up Returns to all stores this year.
- Begged Kohl's not to follow through on new CEO "Burlington" Tom Kingsbury's claim that Kohl's is reevaluating its pricing strategy.
- Wondered whether Amazon's investment in more same-day fulfillment sites signals a chink in its once shiny armor.
- Piled onto Instacart for its "new" omnichannel solutions and, particularly, its smart cart remote monitoring system.
- And closed with a discussion of whether "Prom Your Way" AR from Men's Warehouse will have the desired effects Men's Warehouse wants from it.
There's all that, plus sweaty vinyl bunk beds, TikTok addictions, and what came first, the cookie or the cookie dough?

Ask An Expert | How Smart Retailers Set Vendors Up For Success With SPS Commerce
You’re only as good as the products that are on your physical and digital shelves and if you aren’t setting your vendors up for success, you definitely won’t satisfy your customers.
We wanted to find out how best-in-class retailers are investing in foundational tech to ensure their vendors are following protocol and, most importantly, that they have visibility into how they’re performing in a retailer’s store.
So, Omni Talk's Anne Mezzenga and Chris Walton welcomed SPS Commerce’s very own Brandon Pierre and David Verette for the latest installment of Omni Talk’s Live Ask An Expert Series on LinkedIn to discuss how they’ve helped retailers and vendors be successful in EDI setup and compliance.
Chris, Anne, David, and Brandon went deep on:
- Tapping tech to help internal EDI teams scale
- Getting internal teams on board with EDI compliance, it’s not just for IT
- Setting up successful vendor compliance manuals and processes
- Getting to the right balance of people, process, and technology
