Amazon's other businesses continue to outpace retail

This story was originally published on Retail Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Retail Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Amazon's Q2 online store net sales rose 11% year over year to $61.5 billion, as physical store sales rose 7% to $5.6 billion, the e-commerce giant reported Thursday. Related operations grew more in the period, with third-party seller services up 11% to $40.3 billion, advertising up 23% to $15.7 billion and subscription services up 12% to $12.2 billion. On a call with analysts, CEO Andy Jassy touted additions to the assortment, including Away, Aveda and Marc Jacobs Fragrances; brands from the tie-up with Saks Global, including Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, Stella McCartney, Rosetta Getty and La Prairie; and 'the much requested return of Nike's products.' Dive Insight: Amazon's retail enterprise, while immense and growing, is increasingly in the shadow of adjacent businesses like advertising, subscriptions and marketplace seller services. In Q2 those operations grew as fast or faster than its online and physical stores and together netted more revenue. The company's stalwart cloud business also continues to be yet another boon to its e-commerce. Online plus brick-and-mortar net sales topped $67 billion, while advertising plus subscription fees plus seller services, where growth was mostly higher, topped $68 billion. Sales at the AWS unit rose 17.5% year over year to nearly $31 billion. 'The solid growth and profitability of AWS and advertising should continue to outperform and support Retail,' Telsey Advisory Group analysts led by Joseph Feldman said in a note on the company's Q2 report. This is a unique situation in retail, though Amazon is encountering many of the same challenges. Currently that includes uncertainty around tariffs. 'There continues to be a lot of noise about the impact that tariffs will have on retail prices and consumption,' Jassy said. 'Much of it thus far has been wrong and misreported. As we said before, it's impossible to know what will happen.' 'What we can share is what we've seen thus far, which is that through the first half of the year, we haven't yet seen diminishing demand nor prices meaningfully appreciating,' he also said. One aspect of the Trump administration's trade policy — the end of the de minimis loophole on goods from China and elsewhere — could turn around the lackluster performance from Amazon Haul, the company's answer to ultra-cheap sites like Shein and Temu. Or at least mute the competition for a while. 'Amazon remains the main winner from the ongoing disruption to this part of the market,' GlobalData Managing Director Neil Saunders said in emailed comments. 'Admittedly, this disruption will not last forever as both Shein and Temu will reformulate their approach – but a big part of their advantage has been lost for good, and that works in Amazon's favor.' The company's push into rural areas will also soon pay off, according to Saunders. In June, Amazon announced plans to bring same- and next-day delivery to more than 4,000 small towns and rural communities by the end of the year, saying earlier in the year that it would invest more than $4 billion by 2026 to expand its delivery network in rural areas. 'The gains in any one area might be modest but given the sheer number of rural areas across America and the relative lack of retail competition within them, the gains for Amazon are significant,' Saunders said.

Iconic sneaker brand quietly closed 140 stores

Some brands have been around so long they feel like staples. There was a period where it seemed like every woman in American owned a pair of Keds and every man with a tennis racket had at least one pair of all-white Reeboks. Other brands like Converse have come in and out of mainstream popularity while maintaining a cult base. The sneakers never quite go away, but they have periods where they appeal to a niche audience rather than a mainstream one. Related: Popular furniture retailer faces bankruptcy filing, liquidation Vans has always felt closer to Converse than Nike. It's a skater brand at heart and that audience has kept the sneaker company relevant even when it has faded out as a mainstream option. The sneaker company traces its history back to 1966 when Brothers Paul Van Doren and Jim Van Doren along with partners Gordon Lee and Serge Delia opened The Van Doren Rubber Company, Anaheim, Calif., for business on March 16. That was also when the Vans #44 Deck Shoes, now known as "The Authentic" was launched. Vans hit its stride, however, in 1976 when "the Vans #95, now known as the Era, with a padded collar and different color combinations, is designed by Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta and becomes the shoe of choice for a generation of skateboarders," the company shared on its website. The company actually struggled in the 1980s and it filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1984. "Although the core Vans shoes are selling well, the wide range of products that Vans offers have drained company resources and Vans is not able to overcome debt," Vans recovered and ultimately was sold to VF Corp. (VFC) in 2004. Vans parent company, VF Corp., has been struggling but CEO Bracken P. Darrell says that things are improving. "We improved our top line trend to negative 2% in constant dollars and flat and reported. A year ago, only 10% of our business by revenue was growing. And today, that number is almost 60%. We also delivered a much stronger bottom line, a loss of $56 million in our seasonally low Q1, about $50 million ahead of the high end of our guidance and ahead of last year," he shared during the company's first-quarter earnings call.

"We're going to bring Vans back to growth. We don't like the numbers on Vans any more than you, down 15% in Q1. About 40% of the decline can be attributed to channel rationalization actions, as you know. Excluding these, if you look at the underlying trends, Vans is running down high single digits, but we're seeing some bright spots. We'll get Vans back to flat and then to healthy growth as fast as we can," he shared. Vans has lost market share to new competitors Hoka and NoBull, while Nike remains popular in the skater space. VF has been working to right-size its retail portfolio and figure out proper distribution for Vans. "In DTC (direct-to-consumer), over the last two years, we closed about 140 stores, about 20% of our global network. While it's tough medicine affecting revenue, it's improved our profitability," Darrell shared. To get Vans back on track, Darrell has brought in Sun Choe to lead Vans. "This team's freedom to innovate will be less and less constrained by the practicalities of the old product creation process as each quarter passes. So you'll see more and more ahead. But there are already positive signals in the Pinnacle side of the business. We had a 50% increase in appointment bookings at Paris Fashion Week in June, including new accounts and accounts who have delisted Vans in recent years coming back," he shared. Part of the company's strategy will be moving sales away from its closed stores to new retail partners. Darrell also believes that Vans will have a future in a market that's very different from its core audience. "Premium today is a small part of Vans, but this shows how sensitive this business is to new products. We don't have enough new products in the premium or the mainline yet, but Sun and the team, she is assembling our new product machines. New products are coming. With the recent changes in our supply chain, we're starting to accelerate our pace to market too," he added. Th company, however, is not giving up on stores. It is changing how they display shoes. "We've also now reoriented about 90% of our full-price Americas stores to provide greater gender clarity and we'll continue to change the format to show more newness and footwear focus in our visual merchandising," the CEO shared.
