We Are Not Broadway
I was chatting with a sales rep whom I highly admire this week about retail and he suggested that Neimans and Nordstrom could reverse their dipping sales by hiring more people and / or providing better in-store customer service. He likened going to the store as going to a Broadway show where if you offer a good experience, people will pay more and business will thrive.

One issue that consumers are facing in dealing with big online entities is that they're signing fine print that prohibits them from suing. So if Amazon steals $1 from millions of people, people most likely will just have to accept it. Lawsuits are not allowed. Only arbitration, a path...

Are more retailers following Bridge's business model? This week's Wall St. Journal reports that more retailers are experimenting with not keeping stock in their stores. What if a customer places an order? The store mails it from the warehouse. Bridge has been at the forefront of this trend: starting in 2007, we output 1,000s of items on our retail members' websites and invited people to shop for products that were not in the store's immediate physical stock.
