Interesting move by Target to try and woo some Amazon customers this holiday season. And it will likely entice some of them. But it only addresses the free two-day shipping and ignores all the other value-add services that are bundled with Prime (Prime video, Prime music, etc). #holidays #onlineshopping #retailsales #retailing #marketing #amazon #retail #target #retailstrategy …see more

Maybe the best thing you can do today is reach out to people who may be at risk, or alone, or just lonely. As sad and scary as all of this is, you can brighten someone’s day by spending your time on them. It’s the best give you can give.
