Gnome on the Go
August 8, 2024
When word got to our gnome figurine, idling away their summer in our warehouse, that a colleague was hiking Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, the gnome pulled some major "gnome-itude" and demanded to join the trip. Along the way, the little diva insisted on commemorating reaching the summit in multiple pictures (although does hitching a ride in a backpack actually count?😉). When a mushroom was spotted on the descent, like a bird to water, the prima donna ...

Recession and Slow Hiring Will Require Need for Optimization Software
August 5, 2024
The economy is slowing due to myriad factors, including weak hiring. When retailers and brands don’t hire, they’re short-staffed. When they are short-staffed, they’ll need software and technology to fill in the gaps.  

Brands and retailers will benefit from our digital service, the Syncing service, that updates online product pricing and pictures for pennies per product. With e-commerce continuing to grow and labor hamstrung, there won’t be a better solution than ...

Jewelry Stores Need a Wedding Registry
August 5, 2024
I have heard recently from some jewelry stores that they don’t think they need a wedding registry service because that allows them to concentrate on selling jewelry. A few thoughts on this:

Fact: a wedding registry service is a good, recession-proof business.

2. A wedding registry ...
