Thanks to Wayne for Being a Client for 23 Years

April 22, 2024

In October of 2001, I walked into William-Wayne & Co. in New York City with no appointment. I asked for the owner, was introduced to the co-owner, and suggested he build a website. The two owners, William and Wayne, agreed to discuss it further with me and we scheduled a meeting. Nine months later, William-wayne.com was born.

We’ve updated the website since then, but the fundamentals have stayed the same.

Shopping Local reduces returns and garbage created

Carol Schroeder recently shared how local shops help our communities and their environment. I liked the excerpt below from her post:

We can often use Mr. Kahneman's insights in our business's daily operations.

RETAIL RELATIONSHIPS by MICHELLE HSIAO

March 27, 2024

Many years ago, as a new assistant at Lord & Taylor, the buyer cautioned me to not get too attached to people or merchandise. His wisdom was not cold-hearted, but a cautionary tale to keep emotional attachments in check. I was there to deliver strong financial results and if something wasn’t selling, I shouldn’t harp on it, but mark it down and move on. And, as far as work relationships were concerned, I should be a good coworker but not get attached to colleagues.
