Ep. 8: Offline vs. Online with Sam Jones, founder of OOOOO.com

Time: 1:14:35
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 info@retailisdead.co.uk.  Please don't forget to rate, review and subscribe on Apple or Spotify.

Description

Retail is Dead is a podcast where we talk all things retail as consumers and industry outsiders. We are fed up reading and hearing that “retail is dead”, when in our humble opinion it’s just getting exciting. We’re here for the ride and we’d love to share it with you. The highs, the lows, the failures and the new obsessions.

Episode 7

This podcast keeps getting better and yet remains so real...Three women who are clearly at the top of their game manage to straddle being retail experts, consumers and now 2/3rds of them are new mothers (it was great to hear the baby in the background)!
This was my favourite episode to date, I (like many) shy away from tech but this brought it home just how vital it is - not only for retailers but consumers as well. It’s informative, entertaining (you’ll laugh out load about the giraffe) and forward thinking. Please keep them coming!

Great listen

Does a great job of tying retail in with other interesting and wider contextual stuff - and I could listen to these three girls’ voices all day

Great listen!

Loved ep4, just listening to you talk about all those brands transported me into some of the stores I know, it makes me miss the smells and excitement you get from shopping in store with lovely brands, so much better than online. Really interesting listening to you ladies talking so passionately, thank you!

Retail Isn’t dead

Something new and different to listen to in these uncertain times. Good to hear retail isn’t dead and looking at it in a different way certainly provides food for thought.
Loving the 2nd episode as well. Keep bringing them out!

Positive Retail Vibes!

Excellent listen guys! Despite what the media tells you, retail will always have a place in the community and isn’t something that online needs to replace but can compliment.

This podcast was so feel good, inspiring and highlights perfectly why retail is far from dead! The girls were honest and captivating, I felt like I was in a coffee shop with them or listening in to a conversation! The special guest was brilliant, funny and inspiring! I can’t wait to hear more.
