Where are the parent review sites?

If someone knows of a website where I can find out what movies and video games are appropriate for kids please let me know. Yes, I’ve seen the Movie Mom and it’s not what I’m looking for. What I want is a site that lists what I will see in a movie. Does Joker call [...]

If its not a golden rule it should be

Yes, we all get busy, but how hard is it to call someone back within 24 hours to get business? Recently I called one golf course to talk to their course pro about golf lessons (I’m worse than this implies). So while I waited for him to call me back, I called another course and [...]

Shaking hands with the people

Free is great. Free concerts are better. Recently our city had a free concert in the park with a well known band from the ’60s. The band got paid by the city, but the smartest thing they did was sign autographs after the show. Here is the brilliance of this old-school business practice. Triple the [...]

Why don’t you have any customers?

My gym is packed. They are lucky. My gym’s juice bar is dead. So much for luck. So why is a juice bar that has so much traffic so dead? Where do we start? First, price is always an issue–especially now. Cost has to be competitive–just because your gym (or insert product here) is a [...]

Random thoughts

I like to save money. So occasionally I take the train to work. Every time I get out of work and pickup my car in the parking lot its hot and takes minutes to cool down. When I park at work in the parking garage its not nearly as hot. It’s really obvious I know–but [...]

Wanna win customers over?

There are a few different movie theater companies in the Salt Lake City area but there is only one that we frequent with our kids. Why is that the only theater we go to when the screens and seats are mostly the same? It’s simple: the convenience of reserved seats. Who cares you say? I [...]

How much is a customer really worth?

also, about how good the stylist is and she takes an hour to do my hair, massage neck, etc. and why she’ll always be my stylist–because she tries harder and is inspiring.

Coupons and when they really inspire customers to be marketers

I took my daughter in to get her haircut. And while she was in the process, I setup and appointment for the following weekend. Simple enough right? Well I arrived the following Saturday at 10:00 AM for my appointment and mysteriously my name was missing. I even called earlier in the week to verify my [...]

How much does it cost me for you to sell me something?

Here is the scenario, and maybe a few of you have gone through this, but I’m still shaking my head over this experience. It’s July 4th morning, my son and I are looking for something to do. We occasionally like to take a day and veg and play video games together. I decided to buy [...]

Xbox 360 and the red ring of death

If you own an Xbox 360 then chances are that you have heard of the “red ring of death.” It’s when the green lights on your Xbox 360 turns red. It is a Xbox 360 owners worst nightmare. I know because I’ve experienced it. About a month ago, I tried to put in a DVD [...]
