RiD Ep.5 - Bonus Episode - Lockdown #2

Welcome back to Retail is Dead; a podcast started in lockdown 1.0 as our answer to all the negative press around retail.  We are fed up hearing that "retail is dead", when in our opinion it's just getting exciting.   Our eighth episode is all about physical vs online retail; possibly the most disruptive step to retail as we know it.  However that doesn't mean that the two cannot exist together & complement one another.  We talk about the brands and places that we feel are doing it well.   Our guest interview is with Sam Jones, the founder of social commerce site OOOOO https://ooooo.com. Think QVC meets Tik Tok & add some fun content. Sam tells about some of his fav brands & what he thinks about the future of retail.  As ever, thank you so much so much for all your support & feedback we really appreciate it.  Don't forget to follow us on Insta @retailisdead_ or drop us a line at [email protected].  Please don't forget to rate, review and subscribe on Apple or Spotify.  Love Erin, Bex & Leanne Our brands:  Gymshark https://www.gymshark.com @gymshark  Gymshark new Regent street flagship YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3O6X3T-FIc  Soho Home https://www.sohohome.com @sohohome  Glossier https://www.glossier.com @glossier How I Built This Podcast with Emily Weiss https://www.npr.org/2018/11/20/669783899/live-episode-glossier-emily-weiss  Tala https://www.wearetala.com @wearetala  Beauty Pie https://www.beautypie.com @beautypie  Scandiborn http://scandiborn.co.uk @scadiborn  Nanushka https://www.nanushka.com @nanushka  Zalando https://www.zalando.co.uk @zalando

Welcome back to Retail is Dead.  A podcast started in Lockdown 1.0 as our answer to all the negative press around the retail and hospitality industries. We were fed up hearing that “retail is dead”, when in our opinion it’s just getting exciting – and we are finally seeing some of that post reopening. Our seventh episode is focused on all things tech. Covid has completely changed consumers use technology to interact with brands and in turn has challenged brands to come up with creative solutions to create better, more personalised and more genuine experiences IRL leveraging new technologies. In this episode we highlight great examples of this and interview a brand at the forefront of the evolution of physical retail. Our guest interview is the wonderful Warren Richmond, Founder and CEO of Situ Live ( IG @situlive) https://business.situlive.com Situ Live is a new and innovative shopping experience platform that allows customers to tell their own story and bring their products to life in a new environment, the Situ Live venue. They are opening their first ever venue at Westfield London in September so look out for more news on their IG and other socials.

Welcome back to Retail is Dead. A podcast started in Lockdown 1.0 as our answer to all the negative press around retail. We are fed up hearing that “retail is dead”, when in our opinion it’s just getting exciting. Our sixth episode is the first of a four part series on Sustainability. Whilst we would all agree we feel the pressure to be make more sustainable choices in life - use less plastic/paper, eat less meat or use less car travel, we aren’t so aware of the positive impact little changes in our buying habits could make. Our aim is to raise awareness of the various solutions at hand and to talk about brands that are fighting the good fight whether it’s using more recycled/upcycled materials, turning waste into new products, offsetting the impact of their supply chain or giving clothes a second life. Our guest interview is with the fabulous Vanessa Jacobs (@vljacobs) Founder and CEO of The Restory (@therestory_) www.the-restory.com, an on-demand aftercare service for shoes and handbags that can be found online as well as in physical concessions at Selfridges, Harrods and Harvey Nichols.  They are also this episode’s The Drop, as they have just launched Farfetch Fix by The Restory, a service that allows Farfetch customers to book a collection and get their items repaired from anywhere in the world: https://the-restory.com/farfetch-fix-services-list/ As ever, thank you so much for all your support & feedback, we really appreciate it.
