]]> Comment on The eReader War by Michael Dusing http://www.retailmarketingblog.com/retail-marketing/2010/02/08/the-ereader-war/#comment-274376 Michael Dusing Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:20:06 +0000 http://www.retailmarketingblog.com/?p=2171#comment-274376 This is definitely an emerging market where a lot of players are anxious to get out in front. Amazon has a great lead however the Nook does have some key features which will attract a slightly different consumer. Barnes & Noble is smart here; using their store fronts to get these devices into peoples hands. That could be the push an avid reader needs to go digital. As for Apple entering the market there is one key thing e-books have the iPad does not; no eyestrain. The iPad doe shave a book store yes but that will not be a main selling factor. Try reading a book on your home computer and tell me your eye don't hurt. The iPad's potential primarily lies elsewhere. There is my quick analysis but this is a new market that everyone is trying to scramble their way into. We will see who comes out on top.

While I tolerate some off brand products many are clearly inferior. It brings to mind something that would be in the old Soviet Union. It is also annoying to find a certain item amongst all those white packed products. Bad marketing.

It's a smart move - this sets them apart from not only Starbucks but most major chains. I hope they will implement this in Canada too - French Fries and wifi sounds okay by me.

]]> Comment on What Will 2009 Bring? by Joe Volt http://www.retailmarketingblog.com/email-marketing/2008/12/18/what-will-2009-bring/#comment-261402 Joe Volt Wed, 28 Oct 2009 23:28:33 +0000 http://www.retailmarketingblog.com/?p=1311#comment-261402 To me it seems like fashion retailers have focussed too much on creating beautiful glossy shops but no real heart and soul. With the new low cost rich media platforms (www.ahead.com, www.vimeo.com), microblogging (www.twitter.com), and social networks (www.facebook.com) it's a easy and cost effective as ever to tell and show real stories to the clients. Talk about your employees, about how the latest designs were designed and produced, show the next collection, tweet about special offers on a slow day...basically use your imagination to get people into your shop.
