Today's Fast Five Tue, 07 Sep 2021
Brought to you by :

Hello Omni Talk Fans! Labor Day weekend came and went, and it saw Anne and I enjoying a Saturday night feast with Mr. and Mrs. Omni Talk of wine, Beef Wellington, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes.

In fact, we got our English game on so strong that it almost felt like Labour Day.

But tomato, tomato.

Let's Get to Tuesday's Fast Five Headlines:

1.
Target CIO Mike McNamara announced that he would soon be taking his hard-as-nails, Tesco-trained approach into retirement. (Read More)
2.
Chewy saw sales skyrocket another 27% this past quarter, likely boosted by Mrs. Omni Talk's continued, unfettering adoration of our new puppy, Ginsburg. (Read More)
3.
Walmart says it plans to partner with Instacart to deliver groceries to New York City, which is a statement that reeks of irony, considering that this is the very same market to which Jet.com was supposed to give Walmart access. (Read More)
4.
Instagram's "10 Days of Live Shopping" is now in full swing. (Read More)
5.
And, Walmart, makes the list again, this time with plans to bring its ghost kitchen test from Canada just south of the border to Rochester, NY. (Read More)

Be careful out there,

-- Chris, Anne, and the entire Omni Talk team

P.S. Signifyd's 2021 State of Fraud Report is one of the most entertaining and insightful reads on which Anne and I have ever laid our eyes. 

You won't believe the lengths to which some people go to defraud retailers.

And the crazy thing?

Retailers, not the credit card companies, are liable for online fraud, whereas it is the opposite way around when purchases are made in-store. 

You can read the report by clicking the main feature above.

P.P.S. We have another great LinkedIn Live Event coming your way on Tuesday, September 14th

This time and Anne I sit down with the founders of UntieNots, Zyed Jamoussi and Cedric Chereau, to bone up on all things AI as it relates to loyalty and that word that gets thrown around all the time but that deserves much more in depth examination -- gamification.

Zyed and Cedric will also be taking questions live from the audience, and you might even learn how to strengthen your current loyalty program in time for the holidays.

You can register here or by clicking on the big feature below.

P.P.P.S. The tomato, tomato joke really only works if spoken aloud. For some reason, it gets lost in print.
