I think 2013 will be the year of responsive design. I mean "responsive" in the broadest way possible. I think we will move from worrying about how the data looks to understanding the vast limitations of how we create and structure data. 

Another way to say this is social CMS.

Amazon Groceries? AmazonFresh set to expand? [+ Marty Note]

Amazon Groceries? AmazonFresh set to expand? [+ Marty Note] | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
After five years, Amazon’s local grocery-delivery service remains in limited test mode, but the Internet giant recently has made some moves that could set the stage for expansion.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Can Amazon Succed Where Others Failed
Not a month after comScore comes out with their "over/under" report showing verticals such as grocery and health care where underpenetrated by the Internet Amazon opens up an old wound. 

You may not remember PeaPod from back in the bubble days, but others have attempted to solve the grocery dilemma. All previous efforts have been hoisted on the petard of "local delivery". 

Local delivery is a logistical killer. Think about it. The last time I went to my Super Target I purchased 20 items for a little over $100. With an Average Order Value of $100 you would have to add a hefty shipping charge. 

Problem is my Super Target is almost across the street from my house, so any hefty delivery charge seems a foolish waste of money. Funny how human psychology is because we don't hesitate to pay as much as 100% markup on our pizza to have them delivered. 

If Amazon can bring our minds around to the pizza zone they win. The pizza zone is about:

* Being lazy.

* Not wanting to go OUT (to cold, too crowded, whatever).

* Too busy (when I am on deadline it is hard to remember to dress and shower much less cook a meal). 

* Too boring (I started selling P&G soap in Wegman's in upstate New York and HATE going to the grocery store). 

* Not Fun - shopping is the 3rd circle of HELL for many (me included). 

 

Subscription & Mobile To The Rescue
I think there is a mobile enabled subscription play here. Schwan's has proven home delivery can work. Schwan's limitation is they ONLY sell frozen food. Will we trust someone else to pick our bananas and lettuce? Maybe if they create a creative approach (maybe we get a chance to see what fresh produce they are selecting via an app). 

The other way Amazon could resurrect the RIP PeaPod local delivery is to be creative about the money. If I can JOIN and earn social status and points, contribute input and be SOCIAL then grocery shopping is FUN and worth the surcharge. 

If anyone can do it Amazon can AND pushing more through their expanded distribution centers only lowers their fixed costs. Amazon is all about the arbitrage so Amazon Groceries could happen and could work.

Mobile Tsunami II - Dresner's Wisdom Of Crowds Mobile BI Report Summary

Mobile Tsunami II - Dresner's Wisdom Of Crowds Mobile BI Report Summary | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
Click here to edit the content...
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Former Forrester analyst Howard Dresner's annual Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence Report is out. This year's report focuses on Mobile Marketing. 


I contribute to the survey and so receive a copy free and on release date. Here are my favorite points:

  • Enterprise want email, personal info management (scheduling etc) and mobile BI.
  • SMBs want MOBILE BI as #1 on their wish list. 
  • CPG wants mobile BI most (80% top 2 box) followed by Retail/Wholesale and Health Care. 
  • There is an interesting upside down confidence pyramid forming with execs very confident they are ready for mobile and increasing less confident as you move down line management to least confident = IT. 


The last bullet is the most fascinating thing in the study for me. I've felt two things with regard to the mobile tsunami. First I felt like I didn't understand it near well enough (still feel that way).

My next feeling was of FEAR because it felt like mobile changed everything it touched in very significant ways. Mobile is about SPEED, SIMPLICITY and VISUAL STORYTELLING at a time when it felt llke we ecom types were just starting to really know how to build SLOW, COMPLEX and BORING websites (lol).

I think there is another wave to the mobile tsunami. This move to visual over textual is significant movement even without mobile. With mobile visual presentation is on steroids. Video is KEY, headlines and clear CTAs are KEY, learning to tell a story differently is KEY and understanding the phone as game console feels KEY.

If all of that feels very different than the site you are running (even if you are mobile adaptive) then you win a smart phone. If you understand that this changes everything you win the right to stay in the game.


If, like me, you feel ill prepared for the second wave you win a new board and some wax 'cause we are going to surf this next wave of the mobile marketing tsunami. 

Great report. You can buy a copy on Howard's site: http://howarddresner.com/

VC Mary Meeker Rocks All Things Digital [video] | BI Revolution | Scoop.it

Marty Note
If you missed Mary Meeker's amazing 110 slides at the D10 All Things Digital conference in the summer take 15 minutes without distraction to watch her presentation now. Without distraction because she moves fast and speaks a different VC language.

I'm glad I missed Meeker presentation in a way because now it is possible to check off her predictions such as the Google mobile problems leading to their recent earnings miss. If you are interested in how the future of all things digital may turn out, take 15 minutes in a quiet room to watch this amazing presentation.
