As retailers look to compete every which way they can with Amazon  - they might want to look at a 92-year-old business model that transformed how consumers bought products using a new sales channel. Launched in 1926, the Book of The Month Club made consumers members and gave them great deals on buying a curated selection of books.

New platforms using membership models are finding riches in curated retail niches that Amazon, with its scale, isn’t serving. It’s an irony that shouldn’t go unnoticed. …see more

this “mutualisation” concept reminds me of guilds which were so important for economic activity along the ages. yet, guilds mostly benefit guild members who are divided between master craftsmen, journeymen and apprentices. the benefit is twofold: “rent seeking” & “social capital”. outsiders are usually hurt by guild practices. i do like the concept & the opportunity. the potential downsides should be analyzed too. …see more

I posted this earlier yes for a laugh, but also as a snapshot of what modern marketing really is right now. We’re making decisions that call for new “rules of engagement.” I’ll be publishing a point of view on this in the upcoming book / documentary... but it’s best informed by your experience: How are you (brand stewards) deciding whether or not to enter the historic, critical conversations and broader narratives right now? What was the decision process at your firm? Who can do better? Who’s doing it right in your view?? Feel free to message me privately. These rules are best written together. …see more
