Fast Five | 'Backup' Target There's A New Amazon Pickup Option In Town

This week’s Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Takeoff, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, and Attentive, David Ritter and David Brown of the A&M Consumer & Retail Group join Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga to talk: - Target's new same-day fulfillment features, with cool names like, "Backup," "Forget Something," and "Shopping Partner." - Amazon's new "Local Selling" program that lets customers order products for pickup from local sellers. - Trigo's second open-to-the-public checkout-free store in Germany with the REWE Group. - Poshmark's recently announced, "Brand Closet," that lets big brands sell directly to Poshmark's user base. - And, close with a unanimous look at why it probably made sense for PayPal to pull back on its plans to acquire Pinterest. There's all that, plus Liz Taylor references, Anne needing a cigarette mid-show, and everyone's favorite gift this holiday season -- sand.
