🎄 Has the festive season arrived a little early?

I was delighted to be back on RTÉ Radio 1's Drivetime last Thursday, chatting with Elizabeth Hearst about the 'Christmas creep' and why we're seeing Christmas arrive in stores earlier and earlier.

👉Comment 'Xmas' and I'll DM you the link.

There's a lot more to it than festive displays and mince pies in September! From seasonal planning to consumer demand, there's plenty of retail strategy behind the sparkle. ✨

Retailers, what do you think? Smart seasonal planning or festive overload? 🎄

Stirring curiosity. Brewing ideas

Season 11 of The Retail Tea Break is here!

And after five years of talking retail, I’m still just as curious about what’s happening across our industry.

Expect plenty of questions, fresh perspectives, practical takeaways and, knowing The Retail Tea Break, a few conversations that go somewhere I wasn’t expecting!

So grab that cup of tea and join me for Season 11 of the award-winning Retail Tea Break podcast: https://zurl.co/ActrU

📌If you work in retail and you’re not listening to The Retail Tea Break Podcast you’re missing the conversations shaping the industry.

Retail is evolving faster than ever; from technology and customer expectations to leadership and culture. But the real insight doesn’t come from headlines alone. It comes from the people doing the work, making the decisions and navigating the change every day.

That’s exactly what The Retail Tea Break brings you.

Each episode is a straight-talking conversation with retail leaders, thinkers and doers about what’s really happening in the industry, not just what’s trending on LinkedIn 👀

If you care about staying relevant, informed and inspired in retail, this is the podcast for you:

Stirring curiosity. Brewing ideas.

That’s always been at the heart of Retail Tea Break Podcast . I don’t want to just talk about what’s happening in retail, I want to ask why it’s happening, what we can learn from it and what it actually means for the people working in our industry.

Five years and 125 episodes later, the questions certainly haven’t stopped!

And now we’re into Season 11. I'm joined by more brilliant people from across the retail industry, with fresh perspectives and more conversations that make me stop and think, "I want to know more about that."

So grab a cup of tea and join me for Season 11 of the award-winning Retail Tea Break podcast.

There’s plenty more brewing: https://zurl.co/3KvMH

Could your next online shopping experience start with an AI concierge instead of a search bar?🛍️

Imagine visiting a retailer's website and simply explaining what you need, rather than scrolling through categories, filters and endless product pages.

In this clip from The Retail Tea Break Podcast, Pratyush Sinha shares his vision for how AI agents could transform the online shopping experience.

Could this be the next big shift in e-commerce?

A few new faces around here, so it's probably time I introduced myself! 👋☕️

I'm Melissa Moore, and I've spent almost 30 years in retail. I've seen trends come and go, challenges change and the industry reinvent itself more times than I can count.

I'm an award-winning Retail Trainer, Educator, Conference MC and host of the award-winning Retail Tea Break podcast.

My work takes me from training rooms to conference stages, connecting with retail leaders and inspiring the next generation of talent.

And after almost three decades, I'm still curious, still asking questions and never short of an opinion!

So, welcome! The kettle's on, and there's plenty to talk about. ☕️
