What is the difference between Wal-Mart and Target? It’s the same difference between Home Depot and Lowes. One has style and the other is generic, boring and like a warehouse. The other has style and even when the prices are the same they have class. My wife and I were looking for some Christmas lights. [...]
I wonder how many people to go Dell and just test out configurations on computers to see the price. Certainly Dell has these numbers, but its really curious. It probably did that at least 20 times in the last few days. And as an online executive these sorts of statistics interesting me. I also wonder [...]
I’m not sure I totally believe that the NFL are morons; however, those nationally televised games on Thanksgiving sucked. They really sucked. I’m tired of watching the horrible Lions lose again and again every Thanksgiving. Does anyone see them playing Sunday or Monday night? There is a reason. They suck. And Dallas against the Raiders?

Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and more companies got their Black Friday advertisements out early this year. Rather than waiting until we woke up Thursday morning they got smart and realized that these deals leak anyway–why not get out ahead of the leak. It worked, people are talking about the deals.

Does your business have anything that gets customers lining up outside waiting for you to open? Every time they open a new story people flock there hours before the first burger hits the stove. Try this exercise. Name the thing your company believes it does best. Then figure out the last time a customer came [...]
The California Pizza Kitchen almost has too much to choose from. It took a good ten minutes to try and work my way through their menu to find something. The most interesting was the Greek pizza. Except I hate onions. So here is where it gets interesting, or uninteresting. The waitress told me that they [...]
Every year parents go insane over some product for their kids. The last few years it has been video game systems, but this year we are back to basics. Zhu Zhu Pets have become a phenomenon. Just today people flocked to Walmart near our home to buy some at 7 am as they unloaded. But [...]
Why do over 900 people a day search for “how to start a petting zoo”? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a search engine that just answered why? It be like a survey tool that just sorted out the who, whats and whys we need to know so many things. Or where you even [...]
