Video above re-published Mar 10, 2017 (see note* below), by L2inc.com: NYU Stern Marketing Professor Scott Galloway on this week's digital winners and losers:
*Reposted this week's episode as the previous version included data that was cited correctly, but learned was not accurate and has been retracted by the source.)
Once a sector hits 20% e-commerce penetration, the winners and losers start to emerge. We've seen it with books and toys, and apparel may be next.
Loser: Firms relying on Amazon Web Services (aws.amazon.com). The recent outage disrupted service for hundreds of thousands of sites.
Loser: Online travel agents, whose crowded layout paves the way for Google's Hotel Finder to change the game.
Loser: Connected toys. Amid growing evidence that "smart" playthings can be hacked, Scott demos his kids' newest toy.
