Our Retail Predictions Featured in Tableware Today Magazine
Why only 30% of wedding gift givers will come into a store in 2030--and how we can help prepare for that
July 23, 2024
Tableware Today’s Editor Amy Stavis invited me to pen the Last Word column for the August / September issue. I start by comparing e-commerce trends for selling automobiles to selling dinner plates. Online sales in both industries have swelled in the last 25 years. (I entered the e-commerce business at the right time—in 2001.)

I predict that 70% of wedding registry gift givers will never set foot in a physical store by 2030. Currently, that number is at about 50%. If we do in fact ...

Drawing Inspiration from Austin Kleon
How a Drawing Helps Share the10x Improvement We Deliver to Indie Shops
July 4, 2024
At breakfast in the East Village this morning, Austin Kleon’s email image struck me. His hand-drawn summer sale sign by a pool was much more heartfelt than the text-based offer. His drawing shows how our minds may become immune to text offers but react and perk up to new and authentic imagery. 

I wondered what I could draw for my business. I often communicate using text and sometimes rely on stock images. Since we help indie stores grow their registry businesses, I decided to ...
