| | | | National Book Tokens pushes Caboodle scheme with book quiz | | 18 November 2013, 3:33PM |  What could be more lo-fi than the humble book token?
Even when I worked in a London bookshop approximately 300 years ago (or at least before Amazon existed), book tokens felt like something from a different era.

| | | | Online retailers need to break shoppers' discount habit | | 18 November 2013, 1:55PM |  The busiest retail period is fast-approaching.

| | | | Will Amazon/Facebook link up change the way we shop? | | 15 November 2013, 12:35PM |  F-commerce was hailed as the future of online shopping, and there was a lot of anticipation that Facebook would turn into the destination to stop and shop.

According to Brian Solis "F-commerce gets an "F" because brands used Facebook as yet another digital catalogue for selling products and not as a platform for activating new experiences based on the nature and the psychology of the relationships that define the network".
| | | | Are your consumers cleverer/faster than you? | | 15 November 2013, 11:57AM |  Guess what? Your consumers are quicker than you.
It's a frightening thought, but once you embrace the concept of the 'restless consumer', the more chance you have of keeping up with them. Who knows you may even be able to predict what they want, which is almost like being ahead of them.

| | | | | | | What bloggers mean for publishing | | 14 November 2013, 11:37AM |  We've reached a significant turning point in the industry, where media really is everywhere. The proliferation of screens, messages, technology and social networks means that we are royally bombarded with a variety of different media wherever we are and whenever we want (or don't want). That's a lot of clutter to try and get past and the only way to break through the noise is to have a strong point of view, a view that comes through great content.
