Are websites a waste? I'll thank they are and I'll explain. But first, it's important to note that websites are different from platforms. A website is something for which your business is solely responsible. A platform is a digital service to which you subscribe that you are not solely responsible. You may add content and pictures, etc. but you do not manage the technical aspects. You likely use platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, and Airbnb.

Which company has the best management? Sadly, it’s the one that cares the least for communities. Amazon lead the Drucker Institute management contest but scored the worst of any business in the top 50 in terms of social responsibility.

You can now quickly designate an item as being safe for the microwave, oven, freezer, and/or dishwasher. Just log in and visit the product. You'll see check boxes for each respective care term.
In the first example, we see an item with all the care features selected. In the second example, the Juliska item is only dishwasher safe. We see how Juliska can choose to just check the "Dishwasher Safe" box.
What if the item should NOT go in the microwave? Then you would list that in the...

Maker Scarlett Markham is actually a former Parkleigh employee! She developed her line, Flour Pail Kids while working here. We thought our customers would be as amused by it as we are by Scarlett. Her quirky sense of humor mixes nostalgic icons with the edge of today to inspire her work. What could be more full of Rochester spirit than a tiny Genny Beer pin? Her Rochester icon t-shirts are also a stand out among others around town. When Scarlett isn’t designing or doing one of her jack-of-all-...

Fifty percent of the U.S. book market is controlled by Amazon, while Barnes & Noble has 8%. This book market share split shows that shoppers value convenience and price more than customer service. Anyone that says retail can be helped, saved, or fixed by concentrating on anything but convenience and price is wrong.
For example, an HFN columnist whom I won’t name is often extolling the need to make the in-store shopping experience fun and interesting. Similarly, a market building president ...

It started with just a few cards. Cordel Cordaro’s whimsical birds on greeting cards literally flew out of our MacKenzie-Childs store. Customers started talking about having his art in their homes and seeing it out in the community. We even heard touching stories about his commissioned work and the heartfelt thought that went into creating special art for Rochestarians. We realized we had a good fit on our hands and starting carrying his prints, ornaments, originals and art plack-its. Cordell ...

E-commerce is going to double in the next seven years, predicts FedEx. When that happens, how prepared will your business be? How will you prepare your website, your staff, your shipping procedures, your pricing, and your sales expectations?
When e-commerce grows that much, who will control the market? How will customers shop? Via their mobile? Via Alexa? If e-commerce is the dominant form of shipping, how will your online product selection and prices be kept up to date online? If online ...

How do you get more customers to see your products? Tip: make your product names longer. Fill them with keywords and descriptive text.
Market research firm Gartner shares that a hair care line that ranks well on Amazon has 3x the number of words in product name and description areas as other brands.
Excerpt:
Maple Holistics’ current best-selling product, Biotin Shampoo, has 338 words in its product description and 35 words in the title and lists key ingredients like zinc.
This is a "TSA", a Taylor Service Announcement. Remember, DO NOT put your alternative metal serving pieces in the dishwasher. (pewter, Arthur Court, Beatriz Ball, Mariposa etc..) Just rinse, wash and dry! Happy Day!

Wanna see the future of retail? First, look back. Look back at the newspaper industry and its hard, swift fall over the last 15 years. Facebook (and other tech platforms) replaced newspapers across the country as the world’s information and advertising platforms. General lesson: platforms replace individual players. Next up: Amazon’s platform is going to substitute national brand (and retail) names with its private label business. Don’t like it? Amazon doesn’t care. It owns the world’s largest ...
