I must say, I never thought train stations would become a selling channel before TV, but it oddly makes all the sense in the world.

Anytime you have people with idle time on their hands, a smart phone, and a big stretch of wall, marketing and selling can happen....

Okay, so I was off by 3 months. I predicted TV would become the next selling channel in 2011 (Not like HSN or QVC, more like a cross between this and Project Runway plus when they show you the accessory, you can click to buy. TV and movies are...

And who decided that Walmart has "massive strength in private label"? It doesn't compared to other chains that sell food. It's one of the reasons the company's attempt to eliminate entire brands from its shelf in 2010 failed so badly. The private label has very little strength.

Netflix seems ripe for the pickins. Its streaming content remains woefully inadequate (it costs me $9 a month and is probably worth about that, maybe less), for reasons I can't comprehend. It has no terrestrial presence. Verizon has a growing delivery vehicle which negates the need for additional applications...

When I was moving from Boston to Miami, I couldn't find anyone with anything good to say about any mover. I finally...

Our research has shown for a long time that a) retailers continue to increase the number of price changes sent to stores and b) they truly have no idea of the impact of these price changes. Someone finally did the math. I am really excited to see a reduction...

I must say, I've gotten very bullish on this conscious capitalism thing. And I'll also say even us doddering Baby Boomers would like to see more philanthropy and a bit less greed. Who said "The purpose of a corporation is to maximize shareholder wealth"? Maybe it should also be...

The following is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time: "What we aren't willing to do is let online-only retailers use our brick-and-mortar stores as a showroom for their products and undercut our prices without making investments, as we do, to proudly display your brands...."...
