In this episode  Wendy Liebmann talks with Andrea Leigh, former Amazon executive, and founder of The Allume Group, an ecommerce education community, about the future of commerce.

They discuss:

• How lifestage and lifestyle needs coupled with new technologies mean that shopping is now a passive -- rather than an active -- activity.
• That “always shopping” has impacted loyalty to retailers and brands
• How digital shopping can create opportunity to shop in physical stores
• The emerging challenges for Amazon, and how specialty-oriented retailers are winning
• The impact of omni-commerce and the critical need for seamless shopping
• The “revenge of the stores” as shoppers, especially older ones, move back to physical retail, and
• The critical distinction between saving time and faster shopping, and the investment implications for the future
