The Wall Street Journal recently shared how the used car market has improved in the last 20 years because much of it is now conducted online. When car buyers use the web, they’re more likely to save money (about 2%) and dealers can, in theory, make more with dynamic pricing (about 2%) thereby giving each party a win. Unlike 20 years ago, when we didn’t have smartphones, today 95% of used car purchases start online. While 31% of used car purchases were completely in-person, ...

I was working on scheduling a late summer mini-vacation so I carved out an afternoon for the planning. There were so many factors to consider (where? when? how long?) on top of juggling all of us coming from different parts of the U.S. The options were staggering and required so much screen time I was just about ready to give up. When did the world at our fingertips become a negative?
I got to thinking about the astronomical number of options Americans have in every aspect of life. I’ll...

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.
