Did a spot of shopping to nab some deals at Birkenhead Point over the weekend as Cue and Veronika Maine clear their stock. Hopefully I love this dress when I give it a run because I bought two of them they were such a bargain 😂

🛍️ What happened to Cue? 🛍️ Cue was once the IT-girl brand for the modern corporate Australian woman. ⚠️ But…Cue didn’t just face a changing fashion market. It faced a changing woman… My comments @newscomauHQ ⬇️

🛍️ Is David Jones caught between luxury and everyday? Consumers want #retail that is memorable AND value-aware. What is the department store trying to be? Luxury? Generalist? Experience-led? The real battle is for relevance + identity. news.com.au/finance/business… @Macquarie_Uni

🛍️ Anyone bought a Bunnings Bluey Gnome lately? 🛍️ My comments @YahooNewsAU ⬇️ 🧠 Consumer behaviour isn’t simply about buying what we need. FOMO isn’t just about missing out on a product. It’s about missing out socially. #retail @Macquarie_Uni au.news.yahoo.com/bunnings-1…

This shouldn’t be an argument about how long students are on screens at school each day. It should be about how they are using that technology. Educational technology doesn’t inherently undermine learning. Its value depends on what students do with that technology. #auspol

Woolworths has been accused of raising prices during a ‘price freeze’ campaign. Consumers understand costs rise. They don’t accept being played. Value matters, but so does trust & transparency. My comments @GuardianAus ⬇️ theguardian.com/business/202… #wow #retail @Macquarie_Uni

Nike is being dropped from the US top 100 👟 Shares down 76% since Nov 2021. My comments @newscomauHQ 👇🏼 “The problem now is preference. Loyal customers incorporate the brand into who they are – their DNA – and Nike has lost that,” she said. @Macquarie_Uni #retail #Nike

🍕 Pizza Hut is back - but is it? 250 restaurants transformed by year-end. But food quality + slick digital ordering are table stakes. For younger consumers the real question is- what’s new? My comments @newscomauHQ @Macquarie_Uni #pizzahut #retail news.com.au/finance/business…

The global resale of fashion alone is projected to be worth $444 billion ($US317b) by 2027. #Savers has had some backlash today but have to say my Hawaii Savers experience was amazing for the sheer stock and savings - one happy thrifter here! ♻️ abc.net.au/news/2026-09-03/s… #retail

We all remember the bustling hive that was Pizza Hut in the 1990’s 🍕 Fast-forward to 2026 and Pizza Hut is back with a modern twist on its classic dining launching a 75 store rebrand this week. My comments for @joabi @Channel9 @Macquarie_Uni #retail nine.com.au/lifestyle/food/p…

🚨 Ooshies didn’t just win Woolworths customers, they changed where they shop. Data shows 64% of parents changed their shopping behaviour - spending more, + shopping more. My comments for @bengrahamjourno @newscomauHQ news.com.au/finance/business… @Macquarie_Uni #supermarkets #wow

💰 Ooshies push Woolworths to the win 💰 The bigger question is what happens next. My comments for @7NewsSydney👇🏼 @Macquarie_Uni #supermarkets #fmcg #retail #Woolworths

These results should have #Coles quaking in their boots. Not only have they lost Woolworths' shoppers in the immediate period, but they've lost their share of wallet going forward too. Consumer behaviour is sticky. #retail #supermarkets @FinancialReview #Woolworths

The interesting part of the story in here is DESPITE headwinds, #Woolworths has gained consumer trust and improved brand perceptions through #Ooshies. After being ranked one of the most distrusted brands this year, Woolies has clawed back the consumer #retail #supermarket

#woolworths data shows 💰 Cost-of-living crisis is biting AND consumers EXPECT value 💰 But, consumers still want engagement, entertainment and excitement #Ooshies Consumers shopped more often, bought more, and tried more. Coles to play catch up. #retail #supermarkets
