This week I’m taking a family vacation after launching the 7 Figure Seller Summit last week. So this will be a short newsletter. Hope you are all enjoying your summer.

Amazon Vs. Walmart: The Epic Battle Of Retail Kings Gets Hot

Amazon, the e-commerce giant, had dethroned Walmart and the battle holds big stakes for both Amazon and Walmart stock.

Amazon’s plan to build its retail stores steps up its game and goes ahead against Walmart.

According to Investors Business Daily “According to data compiled by FactSet and reported by the New York Times on Tuesday, Amazon’s sales, and those of third-party sellers on its platform, eclipsed Walmart’s over the year ended in June. Consumers spent $610 billion at Amazon from June 2020 to June 2021. In that same period, shoppers spent $566 billion at Walmart, the report said.”

Amazon is cheaper in the “Foods and Beverages” category, which covers the same products as Walmart. Walmart has many physical stores but purchasing from Amazon is available in more countries. Walmart has a higher net income than Amazon, but Amazon is experiencing more online growth.

But keep an eye on Walmart. With a renewed customer focus and an established retail presence, Walmart could continue to see amazing growth.

Both Amazon and Walmart set the bar for all other retailers on everything from logistics to customer service and innovation. If Amazon does it, Walmart and all other companies follow. Their continued push for customers helps move all other retailers to a stronger customer focus.

Amazon plans to open its own department stores, report says

Oh, boy. Amazon goes again! Does Amazon make another push into the physical retail space? the giant is reportedly planning to launch its own department stores. Focusing on apparel, electronics, and household goods but in a scaled-down format.

The new spaces will span 30,000 square feet and carry items from top consumer brands. For perspective, department stores typically take up 100,000 square feet. Amazon’s reported expansion comes as some retail chains, having survived the financial shock unleashed by the coronavirus pandemic – a vigorous comeback.

As many Americans work to reconfigure their social lives in the second year of the pandemic, department stores are cashing in on the increased spending.

Meet Gary Huang, the creator of the AI for Amazon Sellers 28 Day Challenge and the founder of the 7 Figure Seller Summit. Gary's journey in the ecommerce world began in 2005, when he launched his first private label brand selling women’s shoes on eBay. Since then, he has steadily grown a portfolio of ecommerce brands on platforms like Amazon and Shopify, serving customers in marketplaces across the globe.

But Gary's experience isn't limited to just ecommerce. With a decade of corporate experience under his belt, he has managed supply chains in Shanghai, China, overseeing multimillion-dollar sourcing campaigns. This broad range of knowledge has provided him with a unique perspective on the ecommerce industry, which he now shares with others through his various initiatives.

He is a highly regarded figure in the ecommerce space, with his strategic insights and innovative approaches widely recognized in prominent media outlets including Forbes, NPR, and Bloomberg.

Recently Gary’s fascination with AI came from a simple observation: AI was changing everything, everywhere, all at once. This impact is affecting everything from education, politics, the arts, to ecommerce businesses.

This led him to spend hundreds of hours testing AI applications in his own business and interviewing other successful Amazon sellers and ecommerce experts at the AI and ChatGPT Summit for Amazon sellers.

His aim was to find out how AI could be used to grow ecommerce businesses, save time, and increase profitability. The insights he gained have played a crucial role in shaping the AI for Amazon Sellers 28 Day Challenge.

Outside of his own ventures, Gary has shared his expertise on platforms like the Helium 10 podcast, Jungle Scout's Million Dollar Case Study, Webretailer.com, and the Global Sources Summit. His understanding of global trade was even acknowledged when he served as the Chair of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai's Supply Chain Committee, briefing White House Congressional officials on US-China trade and supply chain strategies.

Despite a career that has taken him around the world, from his native Los Angeles to Shanghai and now Japan, Gary remains down-to-earth, focusing on his role as a husband and father. His experiences, both personal and professional, inform his approach to business and the advice he shares through the 28 Day Challenge.
