Well+Good has launched an ecommerce shop to provide curated wellness products to its audience.
The Well+Good Shop will allow users to make purchases from multiple merchants in one checkout experience on the site, which houses shoppable editorial content, as well as a dedicated marketplace.
All products are vetted by Well+Good editors.
The Well+Good Shop will be integrated into content on the site, as well as in video and social. “It will be a 360-degree commerce experience for our consumers,” said Well+Good general manager Kate Spies.
The shop is an opportunity for Well+Good to continue to diversify its revenue channels and own the consumer relationship from discovery to purchase. It also complements the company’s affiliate content, which has ramped up in the last 18-12 months, according to Spies.
Affiliate revenue at Well+Good is up 39% year-over-year in Q3 2020.
While important to the company, the affiliate business means “we are reliant on other merchants, and at the whim of their commission structure,” Spies told Publishers Daily.
The Well+Good team began thinking this year: “How can we make this a better experience for our audience, and how can we add a better layer of curation to the products we are recommending to our audience?”
The products range in prices, from a $4 tongue scraper to a $96 stone diffuser.
“We are intentional on ensuring we are covering a real range of different price points,” Spies said. There was a white space in the wellness industry for a storefront that includes products that are “mid-range, accessible, well-curated and vetted.”
The shop will continue to add new features and products. A floating cart that follows users around the Well+Good site, for example, will roll out in the next few weeks.
All the verticals Well+Good covers will be represented in the shop, such as beauty products, loungewear and athleisure, home products like candles and fitness tech.
As for the business model, commission rates offered by tech company Bonsai, which powers the shop, are “competitive… compared to some other affiliate partners,” Spies said.
The Well+Good Shop "will result in better net revenues because the commission rate is more preferable,” she said.
There will also be a concerted effort to include products made sustainably and by BIPOC-owned brands, Spies said. The shop will feature brands with size inclusivity and beauty brands with 40+ available shades.
“We don’t want people to discover the shop and feel like there isn’t something for them,” Spies said.

Every year the city of Austin, Texas is transformed by the thousands of bands, managers, agents, labels, media, and music fans that descend upon the annual South By Southwest (SXSW) Music Conference.
It’s a week-long festival of career-making opportunities, groundbreaking networking, gigs and parties that’s basically unmatched for anywhere else in the music business world.
2014 marked the 28th year of this annual conference, and the growth of the conference is truly staggering. Just how how big is it? Try to wrap your head around this economic impact analysis just released by the conference.
In 2014 across 6 nights of live music, more than 2,100 bands from 57 countries performed in front of an audience of more than 200,000 from 87 countries. The total number of musicians, their crew, and their posse, totalled more than 16,000 alone.
Those who attended SXSW made 13,990 individual hotel reservations totaling 60,450 room nights, which helped drive the nightly hotel rate up 12 percent to an eye-watering $287 a night.
Overall, SXSW was responsible for injecting more than $315.3 million into the Austin economy in 2014; including $121.9 million from operations, $136.5 million from spending by registrants, and $56.9 million from spending by guests.
To put that into perspective, SXSW dwarfs both the entire regional music economy in Victoria which is estimated to generate about $276 million annually for the local economy, and the entire annual songwriting royalties for Australia which were $243.5 million last year.
“SXSW continues to be an extraordinary celebration of the cultural fabric of Austin and all that Austinites value,” said Michael W. Rollins, CCE, President of the Austin Chamber of Commerce. “Besides focusing the eyes of the world on our city in March, SXSW brings employment to many thousands of our citizens and allows them to provide for their families.”
“From entertainment venues that employ local bands to hotels to retail establishments and all the support industry that provides services that visitors require to the many innovative businesses that have relocated or started up here because of exposure Austin gained during SXSW, this event has helped drive the thriving economy in Central Texas.”
“The fact is that all Austinites benefit from SXSW as the City of Austin has collected millions of dollars in taxes through the years that can be directly attributable to SXSW. Thank you SXSW.”
Artist submissions for SXSW 2015 are still open to Australians hoping to get in on the action.
Bands (as well as their managers, agents, and labels) can upload their application in electronic press kit form via Sonic Bids. Full details are available at the official SXSW website and there’s also a handy Showcase FAQ. Application fees are US$ 45.
The final submission deadline for applications is 11th October, so make sure you put in your diaries to ensure you don’t miss the chance to be part of the SXSW 2015 lineup.
This year’s SXSW featured over 55 Aussie artists – a record-breaking number.
Some of this year’s SXSW success stories include Castlemaine’s D.D Dumbo becoming the fourth ever Aussie to sign with influential indie, 4AD, buzz-building performances from The Preatures, much attention for ‘Riptide’ hit-maker Vance Joy (oh lookie, he’s on the application page!), folk rockers Boy & Bear, and Melbourne songbird Gossling, and many more.
Other breakout Aussie artists that have benefited from a little SXSW magic include such luminaries as Chet Faker, DZ Deathrays, Alpine, Big Scary, Bleeding Knees Club, The Temper Trap, Emma Louise, Matt Corby, The Temper Trap, NZ expat Kimbra, and many more.
Not in a band but still want a slice of the SXSW 2015 action? Signing up as a delegate to attend the series of music, film, and technology events might be your option; full details for attendance applications and costs are available here.
15th – 22nd March, 2015 – Austin, Texas USA
Artist Showcase Applications open between Tues 8th July – Friday 12th September, 2014.
Submissions close Friday 10th October, 2014.

Tesla advised the company this week that prospects had filed guarantee claims matching the conditions highlighted by NHTSA on a minimum of 18 events between spring 2019 and fall 2022. The submitting notes that the carmaker mentioned it was not conscious of any accidents or deaths associated to the failings detected by the company.
The NHTSA submitting says Tesla didn’t agree with the company’s analyses however agreed to go ahead with the recall anyway. The software program defects will likely be fastened through an over-the-air replace “within the coming weeks,” the company says, which implies drivers received’t should convey their automobiles to be serviced. Tesla didn’t reply to a request for remark, and it’s unclear what modifications the automaker will make to its full self-driving function. (The corporate reportedly disbanded its press crew in 2020.) However Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the utilizing the phrase “recall” to explain the replace “is anachronistic and simply flat fallacious!”
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving function isn’t truly “self-driving” as most individuals would perceive it. Even Tesla calls it a “driver help” function that’s in “beta.” The corporate’s documentation says drivers have to remain vigilant and be able to take over at any second.
The function is supposed to maintain automobiles driving inside a lane; make lane modifications mechanically; parallel park; and gradual and cease for cease indicators and visitors lights. Drivers have paid anyplace between $5,000 and $15,000 for the “beta” function. It was first launched in 2020 to prospects that Tesla mentioned had confirmed themselves to be protected and expert sufficient to check the software program on public roads.
In late November, Tesla launched the function to everybody who had paid for it. Some Tesla homeowners have filed a category motion fraud lawsuit over the expertise, citing Musk’s quite a few guarantees that actually self-driving expertise was only a matter of months away.
Tesla releases quarterly car security experiences by which it says that automobiles utilizing Autopilot are a lot much less prone to get into crashes than the common American car. However that comparability doesn’t account for different variables that will make it clearer what function Autopilot performs in crashes, together with the sort and age of the automobile (new and luxurious automobiles like Teslas are concerned in fewer crashes) and site (rural areas, the place Teslas are much less widespread, see extra crashes on common). Federal information exhibits that Tesla automobiles geared up with Autopilot have been concerned in a minimum of 633 crashes since July 2021.
That is simply Tesla’s newest tangle with the federal authorities. The investigation into collisions between first responders and automobiles on Autopilot continues. NHTSA additionally opened an investigation final yr after receiving lots of of driver complaints that the corporate’s automobiles on Autopilot had displayed “phantom braking,” out of the blue stopping with out warning or trigger.
A few of Tesla’s interactions with the US authorities have been extra nice. Simply this week, the Biden Administration introduced that the corporate would participate in its effort to create a nationwide, public electric-vehicle-charging community by permitting drivers of different electrical automobiles to utilize a part of its well-developed Supercharger community for the primary time.
The announcement marks a detente after years of permafrost between Musk and the White Home. The CEO has argued that the administration hasn’t given Tesla correct credit score for kickstarting the climate-friendly car electrification venture within the US; the administration has pushed again towards Tesla’s anti-union stance. The truce got here in Musk’s love language: a presidential tweet.

VSP Optics Group is launching TechShield Blue, a next-generation anti-reflective (AR) coating that reduces blue light exposure while maintaining the natural transmittance of light across the rest of the visible spectrum.
“You may not be able to escape blue light in our digitally-connected world, but you can reduce how much your eyes are exposed to it,” says Randy Dannewitz, vice-president of strategic development for VSP Optics Group. “TechShield Blue provides comfortable vision for screen time and digital device use, and is a meaningful enhancement for any type of prescription eyewear.”
By the time the average American child turns 17, they will have spent one-third of their entire life looking at screens that emit high-energy blue light, according to VSP. As blue light exposure continues to grow, children and adults alike are experiencing digital eye strain, which includes physical discomfort after long exposure to digital screens.
TechShield Blue, which replaces VSP Optics Group’s Sharper Image TechShield, targets the highest energy blue light wavelengths associated with digital eye strain, absorbing and reflecting incoming light from digital screens, energy efficient lighting and the sun. The near-clear coating also delivers advanced AR benefits including enhanced visual performance, backside UV protection and minimal backside reflectance.
TechShield Blue is offered on all lens designs and materials, including the full portfolio of Unity lenses. It can be ordered from VSPOne Technology Centers and through authorized Unity distributor labs. VSP Global Premier Program practices receive $12 for each order of TechShield Blue on Unity lenses, as well as five VSPOne Rewards points.

A MAJOR fashion retailer has launched a huge closing down sale ahead of shutting its doors after 24 years.
House of Fraser is pulling down the shutters on yet another one of its branches next month.
The store at The Oracle shopping centre in Reading town centre will close for good on October 29.
The clothing store has occupied its space in The Oracle since it opened in 1999.
To mark the closing, a huge closing down sale has launched in store, according to the Reading Chronicle.
Shelves are already being emptied and some shoppers have managed to blag items for up to 50% off.
If you live nearby, it’s worth popping in to see if there’s anything you can get your hands on.
Though do remember it’s only a bargain if you were planning on buying that item anyway.
House of Fraser was saved from collapse by billionaire businessman Mike Ashley back in 2018.
But while the deal saved the chain’s 59 stores and 17,000 workers who were facing the axe, a number of its stores have closed in recent years.
There are now only 30 department stores left in the UK.
It comes after its store in Solihull will closed on August 28, while its branch in Guildford will shut on Saturday, September 30.
In February, the chain turned its store in Birmingham into an outlet and closed its iconic store in the Howells building in Cardiff.
In January, it closed its department store in High Wycombe, two months after its store in Westfield Shepherd’s Bush closed for the last time.
Retailers have been feeling the pinch since the pandemic while shoppers are cutting back on spending due to soaring inflation.
High energy costs and a shift to shopping online after the pandemic are also taking a toll and many high street shops have struggled to keep going.
Brick and mortar stores have also seen a lack of footfall due to consumer habits switching to online shopping.
Wilko fell into administration August 10 and as a result, all of its stores will close for good.
Yesterday (September 19), 38 of its branches shut their doors.
And tomorrow (September 21), another 47 branches will close for good.
Pub giant Wetherspoon has already closed dozens of boozers across the UK, including in Hove, Derby and London.
The chain, like many others, has been hit hard by rising costs brought on by high inflation.

2018 Bitcoin Price Prediction By Tim Draper Is Still


text:
China is slowing. Its GDP growth rate has fallen to 8.1%. Not to worry. Forecasters everywhere are more than confident that the Chinese can stimulate the economy if things start to get bad. This might be true if China were a normal economy, but its strengths can quickly turn into weaknesses. The reality is that it has the wolf by the ears and there might be no way out.
In its latest forecast the World Bank has cut its outlook for China from 8.4% to 8.2%. While this growth rate seems enviable, it is a 13-year low. The Bank also forecasts that the Chinese economy after a soft landing will bounce back by the third quarter of 2012. The recovery's shape would be somewhere between a vigorous 'V' and a flat 'L'. The World Bank also forecast in June of 2008 that the United States would grow at 1.1%, Europe would grow at 1.9% and China would continue its growth of 9.4%. It also predicted in 2008 that a slowdown in the U.S. would have little effect on China. It was wrong, very, very wrong.
The World Bank's forecast has lots of support. A recent poll of 15 economists produced a median forecast of 8.3% while the Asian Development Bank (ADB) came in a little higher at 8.5%. Like the World Bank, the ADB's forecast has been lowered from its report in December.
But it is not just the economic boffins who are forecasting slower Chinese growth. There is evidence from the real world as well. The most telling has to do with commodities. Over the past two years commodities seemed tied to equities. This changed recently. World stock indices rose more than 11% in the first quarter while the Reuters-Jefferies CRB commodity index stalled, up only 0.2 %. This was reflected in Morgan Stanley's index of commodity producers whose shares lagged behind other sectors and gained only 4%. The sluggish growth was no doubt due to falling demand from China.
Real estate construction accounts for 13% of China's economic growth, but the sector is also slowing. Sales transactions in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen are about 30% below levels last December. Investment in property construction growth was up 12% of the previous year in December, but that was half the growth in November. Developers have up to two years' worth of supply on their books and there are an estimated 10 million to 65 million unoccupied apartments in China.
Car sales are also slowing. In 2010 car sales exploded growing at 32%. They are still rising, but only at 4.5%. Dealers are now discounting to attract buyers. There is now concern that the annual forecast for 10% rise in sales will not materialize.
The slowdown in China is cause for concern far from its shores. One estimate puts Chinese contribution to global economic growth at two fifths, twice the contribution of the former locomotive, the United States. China has also replaced the U.S. as the dominate trading partner of an ever increasing number of countries. It makes up over 20% of exports of Taiwan, Australia, Korea and Japan. The impact of China's slowdown is not evenly spread. It contributes over 1% to the GDP of Russia, Korea, Indonesia and Brazil. Germany as well would be quick to feel a chill, since China contributes .8% to its GDP growth. In contrast the United States economy would hardly be affected. China takes only 7.6% of its exports and it contributes only 0.1% to its growth.
The main reason why the Chinese slowdown does not scare pundits more is that they expect China to repeat its past actions by loosening monetary policy and stimulating its economy as it did in 2009. Certainly it is trying. Bank lending in March rose to 1.01 trillion renminbi. This is high by even the more recent standards of the last two years and is two and a half times the amount of lending of last September and October. It is equal to a third of the entire amount of money lent in 2008 alone.
Not surprisingly inflation, which was considered tamed, has risen again by .2% from February and food prices are rising again despite record foreign purchases. It is not only inflation that is an issue. Most of the money lent by the state banking system goes to local governments. The most recent estimate is that about 10% will go bad by 2013.
So the Chinese have a problem. Their economy is slowing. Western economists feel that China has plenty of room for further stimulation, but that stimulation only results in more inflation and bad loans. As influential economist Tsinghua University Professor Yuan Gangming puts it "Monetary policy is already quite loose and the central bank won't loosen more unless it wants to die." Apparently it does.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Apple's iPad is finally on sale in the UK after a delay due to the gadget's popularity in the United States.
The eagerly-anticipated touch-screen computer allows users to send emails, read novels, draw pictures and play games.
It will go on sale from £429 for the basic version to £699 for a model with Wi-Fi and 3G network access.
Apple stores across the UK were opening an hour earlier at 8am to sell the iPad, with queues of shoppers expected overnight.
Currys and PC World will also stock the device at 139 stores.
Apple was forced to push back its original late April UK launch date because of "overwhelming demand" for the iPad in the US.
The company's website is already warning that iPad pre-orders made now will not ship until June 7.
Apple sold more than one million iPads in the US in the first 100 days after the April launch, making it a faster seller than the iPhone.
Brand expert Simon Middleton said: "The iPad really is a culturally significant piece of kit. It will, I confidently predict, change the way we think about mobile devices and their potential. Within months there will be rivals from other manufacturers."

Most users spend less than 2 hours a week downloading TV programmes
The majority of broadband users in the UK pay for download limits that they come nowhere near reaching, according to a survey.
Research conducted by broadband site broadbandchoices found that three quarters of those on unlimited broadband packages downloaded just 20GB (gigabytes) of content per month.
Half downloaded less than 10GB per month.
They could save over £100 a year by downgrading their service, it said.
"If you spend over two hours per day using iPlayer or downloading music and film you will need a package that can support that activity. If all you do is e-mail and surf the net you'll probably only need a basic service," said Michael Phillips, product director of Broadbandchoices.
For example, BT offers a 10GB download service for £15.99 while its unlimited service costs £24.99.
Similarly Sky's basic broadband package allows a 2GB usage limit for £5 a month compared to £15 a month for its unlimited service.
Unlimited services were introduced as a response to increased internet usage and allow users to stream music, video clips and films with no caps.
But for the vast majority of broadband users who still spend less than two hours a week downloading music, watching video clips or downloading TV programmes, such premier services could be unnecessary, the survey found.
"It is easy to become distracted by flash marketing and words like 'unlimited' or to be scared by the concept of download penalties," said Mr Phillips.
"Consumers who pay for a service they are not making full use of are in effect throwing money down the drain," he added.

Increasing disruption spells brighter future for GCC retail
GCC e-commerce market is estimated to reach $20 billion by the end of the decade. - shutterstock.com
The GCC region's retail sector has been going through sweeping changes that are not only disrupting the conventional retail but reshaping its future too. In recent times, the mode of retailing in the GCC has gone through substantial changes that was unimaginable a few years back.
There are clear signs of transformation in the retail sector in the region. There is increasing scope for e-commerce in the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia and the UAE establishing the template for sustainable business models that other countries can look to emulate.
Over the last decade, e-commerce industry has grown 1,500 per cent in the region. In terms of average spending, an online user spent $300 in the UAE compared to $90 in Saudi Arabia, $94 in France and $1100 in Canada in 2017. However, the size of e-commerce in the GCC region is relatively smaller. According to estimates, e-commerce just stood 2 per cent of the total retail sales in the region in 2017 with the UAE taking the lead, followed by Saudi Arabia.
GCC e-commerce market was estimated at $3.4 billion in 2015, $4.8 billion in 2016, $6.7 billion in 2017. Marmore research predicts that GCC e-commerce market will hit $20 billion by 2020. The ripple effects of digitised commerce will be wide and deep, directly impacting the conventional physical stores (retail industry), employment and the logistics sector. The growing youth population, higher mobile and internet penetration, high disposable income and booming fintech industry, are expected to propel digital commerce. In the GCC, mobile penetration is recorded at 76 per cent of the total population, and internet connectivity is reaching above 90 per cent of the population in countries such as Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE.
In the GCC region, 73 per cent of total mobile subscribers are having mobile internet, while smart phone adoption is 72 per cent as on Q2 2017. Additionally, GCC regions top the other Arab countries and Mena in terms of technology adoptions and utilisation. In terms of demographics, almost 50 per cent of the population between 26-35 years prefer online transactions in UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Younger population groups tend to have lower internet utilisation. Similar is the case for higher and middle-aged population across 3 GCC countries.
In 2017, when Amazon acquired Dubai-based online retailer, Souq.com, it changed the rules of the online game forever in the Middle East. According to reports, Amazon paid $850 million for Souq. The acquisition not only established Amazon's footing in the region but also heated up the e-commerce competition and helped formalise the structure of the sector.
Surprisingly, while more than half of the population is under the age of 25 in the region, only 15 per cent of businesses in the region have their online presence. On the demand side, the key reasons for the rise in e-commerce are, namely, ease of shopping, new payments mechanisms, development of fintech, multiple merchant points, rise of e-wallets and other alternative payment systems. Thus, there is an increase in consumers' willingness to use and accept such technology. On the supply side, the wide range of shopping brands to choose from is one of the prime factors driving the e-commerce market. Huge investments, innovation in consumer mobile devices and connectivity, entry of new players, competitive prices, expanding logistics services are the other key factors shaping the e-commerce market in the GCC region.
Culturally, GCC countries are mainly cash-driven. Although mobile and internet penetration is high compared to global standards, the urge to touch and feel the physical product and, to some extent, a mild distrust in online payment mechanism have emerged as challenges before the region's e-commerce market. In an environment of cultural conservativeness and technology evolution, Middle East is yet to embrace e-commerce on a full scale.
Although, the e-commerce growth in recent times has been phenomenal, complete trust and confidence in the system is yet to develop among the GCC population. In Bahrain, for instance, product search and data collection are among the top online activities, and online shopping is done by less than one-third of internet users. Also, in countries with higher online shopper penetration rates, such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the frequency of buying online remains subdued.
Overall, the key pressing issues before the e-commerce sector include: Prevalence of cash-on-delivery over other payment methods and consumer wariness of safer online payment transactions; Most of the countries lack a unified address system which, on the one hand, creates challenges for last-mile delivery; Extensive use of mobile phone to trace customer location makes delivery difficult and lack of a well-developed unified online payment system.
The online payment infrastructure is still in the evolutionary stage in the region and lacks deeper public trust. In Saudi Arabia, for example, about half of the population remains unbanked and card payment penetration is just over 40 per cent. In terms of logistics, most of the online retailers don't have well established warehouses and the distribution network is still weak.
Strategies to drive e-commerce
For consumers in the Middle East and Africa, price-points or promotions (34 per cent) are the most likely factor driving purchasing decisions, followed by brand (24 per cent). This makes personalised messages and product recommendations crucial.
Promotions using data-driven marketing and deep learning (a subfield of AI) can be widely used to understand the individual's shopping wallet. Entry of new players can increase competition and add better quality of customer service and better discounts. A majority of regional customers prefer to check products personally. In such a case retailers may use strategies like providing comprehensive information about the product ingredients, easy returns and satisfaction guarantees. Also, understanding the motivation of shoppers, their behaviour pattern (behavioural targeting) through browsing patterns can improve the services offered by online retailers and make people transact more online.
In order to improve the payment method, online retailers and local banks can leverage new forms such as QR code payment method which would enhance customer convenience. Online retailers providing "bank transfer" option at checkout can offer a dynamic QR code via app that consumers can scan using their mobile banking app and confirm the payment. In China, the ICBC's (Industrial and Commercial Bank of China) QR code payment is used for all small payment services, thus speeding up the e-commerce payment experience. Such payment methods can also be more secure as the payment information is not carried through the merchant's store network.
Regulatory drivers like cashless societies, financial inclusion, protecting customers and more open banking competition can increase e-commerce transactions in the region. Though the GCC region is a late adopter of e-commerce, regionally tailored solution and strategies like improving the customers' trust, better logistics, reliable online payment system and increasing competition among the e-commerce players can offer great results.
