Retailers Add Gadgets for Shoppers at Ease With Technology

This is a trend we have been following, and helping to create, for years now. With the advent of iPads and the bevy of other hand-held computer devices and web services available today consumers are doing more self-service all the time...why spend time tracking down a sales person when you can find more information, better information and information faster and more conveniently online?

Your Execution Sucks

I know that sounds harsh, but let me tell you why that is...before you go

for the rope and the tree and then me!

Most of us haven't created a culture that gets our employees involved.

Our One Trick Pony is Out of Tricks? Now What?

According to the latest Nielsen reports, Americans spent an average of 33

hours per week watching TV and about 17 hours on the Internet. In many

cases, these activities were done simultaneously.

With our industry's infatuation with all things "Internet", we have largely
