The dilemma of the digital in-store marketing industry
The Digital In-Store Marketing industry is confronted with a dizzying array of trade orgs, websites, and events to support. What’s a well intentioned marketer to do?
An old boxing axiom starts with the advice “You gotta have a good nickname.” But my own profession struggles to find a universally recognized label. The lack of a universally understanding manifests itself in a variety of challenges.
My work is at the interesting intersection of a two industries, In-Store Marketing and Digital Marketing.

A number of blogs do a great job covering the products introduced at the show. Engadget is a great place to start. Here is a nicely organized photo library from the show.
My interests at CES are more about what retail designers and in-store marketers can learn from the show. (more)

In Las Vegas for Global Shop 2009
The annual gathering of retail designers and in-store marketers starts Monday in Las Vegas. I’m in town and will be blogging a recap of the show. Last year, the show was over spring break, during some unseasonably bad weather in Chicago, and attendance was lack-luster. At the time, I speculated that it was also a bit quiet because the show started a month after the much larger EuroShop which takes place every three years in Dusseldorf, Germany. (more)
