Watson Weekend LIVE: 2024 in Review—The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!

The good, the bad, and the ugly—Watson Weekend LIVE dives into 2024’s eCommerce rollercoaster! Nick Kaplan joined Rick Watson to unpack this year’s biggest stories, from moments of triumph to epic fails. 🎙️ Topics we covered: The Good: Klarna’s IPO momentum, Walmart’s resilience, and Chapter 11 law firms dominating. The Bad: NRF’s misplaced optimism about “resilient consumers” and Magento agencies stuck in the past. The Ugly: TEMU’s legal mess, Amazon’s price hikes, and eBay’s stagnant strategy. Plus: Words and phrases we’re retiring in 2024 (Profitability = Expelliarmus?). 💡 Special thanks to our sponsor, Mirakl, the global leader in eCommerce software solutions!
