The Era of Shoppertainment, where content becomes commerce, is here. As the rules of retail change, so do the deals shaping the industry's future. So what happens when a brand built on radical transparency is bought by one of the world's biggest fast-fashion giants?
The premier episode of The Shopping Forecast unpacks one of the biggest retail stories of the year: Shein's acquisition of Everlane. Is it a smart business move or are the two companies' sustainability values too incompatible? And what can we learn from TikTok Shop’s reliance on entertainment-driven sales, or ‘shoppertainment’, and its effectiveness for small businesses?
The Shopping Forecast is a podcast that proves shopping is about so much more than what’s in your basket. Retail strategist Catherine Erdly and fashion brand consultant Elizabeth Stiles bring the receipts on current consumer trends and the cultural shifts shaping the way we shop, unpacking the psychology behind our purchases and the brands redefining consumer culture.
