Wingos Holiday E-Commerce Growth Prediction: 20-25%
Food for thought: Is US e-commerce only growing 15%, is that
possible?

Grinch ALERT!
The setup almost feels too good
(after ~20yrs of scar tissue from the
retail world)
What could de-rail us?
Political backdrop (the I word)
Tariffs/trade war
And the biggie for e-commerce,
delivery capacity

Expect robust consumer behavior this Q4 based on recent retail
performance and consumer sentiment
Amazon will continue to gain share, now with over 100m Prime
members and the strongest Prime Day performance weve seen
We think Google Shopping Actions is a major new channel that
almost every retailer should adopt ASAP
Expect to see other significant marketplaces come online as new
entrants seek to replicate Amazons success
U.S. logistics capacity remains constrained, so plan for higher costs
and have contingency plans in place

Q4 table stakes: operational excellence is key
Dont run out of stock
Dont have shipping snafus!
Consider partnering if logistics isnt your strong suit
Get going with AMS and Google Shopping Actions in advance of Q4
Advertising and transactional channels are converging be good at both!
Use data to your advantage, e.g. algorithmic repricer and demand
forecaster we see customers who do grow 2-4x faster
