Switzerland‘s largest retailer, launches Migros M-Plus, a customer loyalty program “Amazon Prime”-style
The stores of the Migros Group are an essential part of the Swiss retail retail environment. Now the largest retailer in Switzerland, known for its supermarkets and the online shops and marketplaces Digitec Galaxus, was inspired by the worldwide success of Amazon Prime.
Migros is introducing a subscription model that is very similar to that of Amazon Prime. It remains to be seen whether it will be received with approval by Swiss society.
We took a closer look at this topic here and made a comparison with Amazon Prime.
Google becomes more transparent: Search suggestions based on recent user activity
Google now displays suggested search queries based on the activities previously performed. The “proposal” appears as a link below the search bar with the suggestion on how to modify your search highlighted. Although we noticed some “start-up difficulties”, we are curious.
Is this feature really an innovation, or is Google “simply” becoming more transparent here?
Does this feature result in benefits that a search marketer can monetize below the line?
Feel free to take a look at our video and follow the discussion.
