INSIGHT FROM SEAN:

Shopping used to be very pre-planned. You had to get in your car or go on a walk to the store and then make a purchase. Now, you can be up in the middle of the night, see an ad on your email, and use up all of your disposable income and it doesn’t matter whether you were planning on going shopping. For advertisers, retailers, and brands, the idea of having to adjust to this multi-dimensional way of shopping and selling is really different. My expectation is that you’re going to see more of these personalized, fast, distributed retail.
