Amazon having huge problems... not just with product, but everybody gaming "in stock" policy. Amazon's MBA culture of *efficiency* killing them with people ordering from home. Prime was always a money loser...now losses are scaling
Amazon already saying two-day delivery is a problem. Prime members (everybody) not going to be happen as Covid-19 eats up overly optimized organizations. W/O slack, real problems...
Amazon has a policy that you cannot list product out of stock. Resellers say product in stock but shipping April 4th or some date in distant future. Resellers gambling they will get product in and ship by that date.
Amazon will EVENTUALLY close this loophole and those Resellers will be banned when consumers complain to Amazon, not to Reseller. Plus, Amazon will have to refund money back to hundreds of thousands of consumers.
Amazon charges consumer when in stock orders are placed. If you charge a card and do not ship within 30 days, this is an FTC violation and could be a huge fine. This one *little* game can create a lot of problems because resellers do not know when they can really get product in.

1/ Marketing in a post Covid-19 environment will take ingenuity, adaptability and action. You will need to rethink everything. These are my practical suggestions.
2/ You NEED to de-link from tech monopolies who have your media peckers in their pockets. This means Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc. All service providers selling their solutions to mkting on those platforms should ONLY be paid on performance. Put Skin In the Game 4 them
3/ Work as much as you can with those that have skin-in-the-game. This means working even with competitors. PulseTV is selling hand sanitizer to competitors thru rev share right now as an example.

1/ I mentioned that our e-commerce company gets 75% of its product from vendors importing from China. This virus is creating havoc with the supply chain and our new products are delayed for weeks. So, we were (and are) in a jam. See following tweet for our judo move...
2/ We have 6.3 million subscribers to 45+ lists. We're creating a Featured Deals page that has 16 product slots that we are selling to other marketers and will drive traffic to this page. Our subs usually see 7 new products a week. now they will see 16 new products if we sell out
3/ This is not an easy shift, but if we are successful, this virus might be the best thing for our business in 20 years. I did say IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL... not at all certain if we can shift fast enough. Selling 16 product ad slots a week is a challenge. Started Tues this week.

1/ I have been a brutal critic of *free shipping* models for ecommerce, believing in the notion that the economics unless niche, ultra high margins exist.

Our team thought that if we offered free shipping, conversions would go up and avg order size increase.
2/ We are not guided by my *theories* and in November of last year, we rolled out a new site: 20Gadgets.com with free shipping. These same products are also on our main PulseTV.com website. Results?
3/ We are shutting down the website in 4 days. A 90-day test revealed lower conversions & lower average order.

The takeaway for these is not success or failure, but the willingness to expend resources and test things I THINK WILL FAIL. We are all wrong more than right anyway.

Trump on whether he used a sharpie to alter a map of Hurricane Dorian's trajectory to make it look like it was on course to hit Alabama: "I don't know. I don't know. I don't know."

He then moves on to the next question as quickly as possible.
Asked if he thinks Walmart did the right thing by discontinuing the sale of some types of ammo after the latest mass shooting in Texas, Trump says Walmart's latest strong earnings report is "sort of like the ultimate poll" and winds up rambling about China.
Pressed on whether he supports universal background checks for gun purchasers, Trump dodges by saying "I support something have to do with mental illness," then floats the idea of reopening mental institutions.

(Thread) The history of the GOP

To understand how Lincoln’s anti-slavery, strong federal government party morphed into the party of the Koch brothers & the KKK, I did some reading👇

The Democratic Party was the pro-slavery party of the Confederacy & rural America.
1/ Before the Civil War, Dems had disproportionate control over the federal government.

They had advantages in the electoral college, and the 3/5 rule gave slaveowners disproportionate power in Congress. The courts were packed with pro-slavery judges.
2/ The Democrats wanted a limited federal government because they knew the North, if given the chance, would end slavery.

Democrats vetoed federal funds for canals and highways because they understood such infrastructure would strengthen the industrialized North.

Mel Brooks: “Comedy is the lecherous little elf whispering in the king's ear, always telling the truth about human behavior.” Is it?
Does Mel mean “court jester?” Because that guy was supposed to be the only guy WHO MADE FUN OF THE KING.
He was not the guy who made fun of the people for the King’s amusement.
