Omni Talk is the retail blog for retailers by retailers. It's candid, authentic, and absolutely no holds barred.
About us
Omni Talk was started by Chris Walton in the summer of 2017. After a nearly 20-year career in retail, Chris decided to venture out on his own and to create a platform for a community of individuals who share a passion for the evolution of omnichannel retailing and a desire to explore new and better ways to do retail. Anne Mezzenga soon joined the fold in the Fall of 2017, taking Omni Talk to new heights, and Chris and Anne have not looked back since. Since joining forces, Chris and Anne have prided themselves on keeping Omni Talk candid. Above all else, Omni Talk will always be real. It is meant to tell the truth. Its content does not come from pundits or journalists. It comes from real people with real experience in the business. Chris and Anne refuse to let Omni Talk be saturated by corporate speak, speak that often times is meant to serve the corporate best interest rather than the best interest of you, the reader, as an individual. Omni Talk’s “serious and sometimes comic musings” are meant to give an opinion on the past and future of retail. Some opinions may be right, some most certainly may be wrong — but, no matter what, they are meant to provoke curiosity about the retail industry that we all know and love, and, most importantly, they come from the heart, with nothing but the best of intentions. Chris and Anne believe deeply that Minneapolis and other cities around the country can once again become the next epicenters of retail innovation. Omni Talk is their refusal to give into apathy. After all, innovation is not Seattle’s birthright. To sign up and champion the cause with Chris and Anne, please subscribe via OmniTalk.blog

"Brands that are doing well offer tremendous value at an opening price point or have tangible benefits consumers will spend up to get. It's that very large middle tier that's getting squeezed." — Chad Lusk, Alvarez & Marsal Consumer and Retail Group 🚨 REALITY CHECK: Consumer Spending Expectations Are Up, But Don't Call It Optimism Chad Lusk dropped essential insights in Chris and Anne's latest 5 Insightful Minutes interview about what's really driving consumer behavior, and, according to Chad, it's not what the headlines suggest. The brutal truth: Consumers plan to spend more because they expect prices to keep rising, not because they're feeling confident. Meanwhile, they're trading down faster than ever. Here's a taste of what Chad calls out from A&MCRG's latest Consumer Sentiment report (report here -- https://lnkd.in/eANZ4T8w): ✅ 58% of consumers increased trips to lower-price stores just this cycle ✅ 80% of higher-income earners now buy private label regularly ✅ 68% say store brands match or beat national brand quality ✅ Food & beverage: the ONLY category with positive spending intent ✅ Middle-tier brands getting squeezed between value and premium Chad's bottom line: If your brand doesn't offer exceptional value OR tangible differentiation worth paying for, you're in the squeeze zone. Are you adapting to the new value-conscious consumer?
