Our take on
Commerce
A little pity
Technically, e-commerce is everywhere: each pixel is a point of sale, and each screen is a mall. At the same time, in many markets, there has been no significant step forward since Amazon led the way. This leaves one and only differentiator – pricing. What a pity. While the machines are doing well, what about the human desire for novelty & experience? What about evolving shopping mindsets around social and experiential commerce? What about the brand – could it be more than just a coloured frame for the buy-now button?
