Ancient Greek philosopher Plato wrote in the Dialogue Republic, “A need or problem encourages creative efforts to meet the need or solve the problem.” This statement led to the phrase “Necessity is the mother of Invention."

How social media influencers with the help of Amazon are bypassing brick-and-mortar retail shops

Kiara Springs, a 25-year old, is part of a new retail trend, shares The New York Times. She sells about $10k/month online but doesn’t own a brick-and-mortar retail store, pay a landlord rent, go to the wholesale markets, or have a POS system. Her “sidewalk” to get traffic is TikTok, and her “POS” is Amazon. Her “stockroom” is the brand’s warehouse. She has an Amazon affiliate account and goods are drop shipped.
Exciting news! Couzon has arrived in-house. We have plenty of stock in Fusain and Lyrique Five Piece Place settings, as well as Gold Accent Lyrique and Le Perle Five Piece Place settings. Happy Shopping!
