2007-10-18 20:52 Prom Dresses for Old People
I find myself in need of a prom/homecoming dress for saturday night somewhat unexpectedly. I'm without car, live near downtown and have about three hours to find something tomorrow evening. I'm against things that are ugly, slutty, or contain an excess of decoration. I'm a cranky 26, after all. I'm not against spending money. I know, of course, about Macy*s and Nordstrom and all of the other regular sorts of chain stores that inhabit the area, but I was curious if anyone had a suggestion for an …

2007-10-16 05:46 LVMH Results: Mortgage Crisis Not in Asia
LVMH has posted what Goldman Sacs analyst Jacques-Franck Dossin called it's best quarter in two years. The group's sales grew 10.3 percent, to a total of 4 billion euros or $5.54 billion. Asia continues to do well for the Vuitton brand, with sales up 50 percent in China. It's another sign that global expansion is sure way forward for luxury brands. Although Gucci and Hugo Boss denied to analysts reports that U.S. department stores had held their fall deliveries, Nordstrom recently issued a profi …

Dear Ry, I'm sure you'll be happy that I will be giving you several coupons to help you save up a bit on your shopping needs. I know that you're a little cash-strapped at the moment so I know this little gift can help you and Nikki in some of your expenses. Since I know that you love steaks, why not grab yourself some stuff from Omaha Steaks and prepare a steak dinner for Nikki and yourself You've been working very hard the past couple of weeks and I think you deserve such a nice treat.

I'm aware of a few companies that are suggesting they will dump the majority of their catalog marketing efforts. By doing so, they make the play that they are 'going green', protecting the environment. They're also frightened by future postage increases. Unless your livelihood depends upon printed catalogs, this sounds like a great idea, especially when packaged with e-mail and online marketing "gift wrap". In other words, we'll use e-mail and online marketing to "make up the difference". We pro …

Reyna has learned a new trick. She can hold herself up now, without holding on to anything. I think today was the first day, she knew she was doing something neat. All day long, she would find something, pull up, balance, let go and fall. Repeat. Repeat Repeat. These pic's aren't the greatest but, I had to share. I watched Porter today. Katie and Donnie joined us in the morning. Later in the morning, Jade's cousin, Maria, and her three kids came over for a play date. We had a house full. Our liv …

2007-10-03 12:51 Can I be serious for a minute
And this is where you say, "I don't know, can you" The answer is -- yes, yes, I can. I read the discussion over on Dear Author, called The Hysterical Reader, along with all the pertaining comments. It's a long bunch of stuff, which you can read (or not), as you like. Well, I'd never tell other authors how to do their jobs and any attempt to regulate their behavior according to my standards certainly falls under that heading. But for me That's something I'd never do. I'd never post an excerpt fro …

Do you ever feel like nobody appreciates the marketing work you do "Back in the day", i.e. Nordstrom 2001, I inherited the circulation team responsible for mailing catalogs ( hang in there e-mail and search marketers, the punchline is coming ). One of my first tasks was to investigate a sale catalog that missed expectations by 40%. That's FORTY percent, folks. I asked to see the selection criteria used to determine which customer segments received the catalog. I was told that the merchant respon …

On Friday, I'm speaking at the Direct Marketing Educational Foundation symposium at Villanova University.

Back in 1988, I was a Senior at the University of Wisconsin, completing a Bachelors Degree in Statistics. As I entered my final semester, I was required to meet with an advi …

2007-09-07 17:43 Jane Porter s new book, œOdd Mom Out , arrives at a bookstore near you on September 27th!
I read a lot. I've read truly excellent books, I've read books I wasn't sure about, and then there's "Odd Mom Out". I read it in one day, because I couldn't put it down. It's Jane's best yet. She writes books that resonate with anyone who's ever loved, lost, and loved again despite the very real fear of being hurt. We all deserve to love and be loved in return, don't we As far as the "excellent" designation, I don't loan Jane's books out. Ever. They're too important to me. "Odd Mom Out" is the …

2007-09-05 02:23 Eleven Dollar Salad
Today I headed to Nordstrom's over lunch to grab some basic items at the cosmetics counter. Of course, once I got to the cosmetics counter I strayed from "basic items" into supplemental items I just had to possess. During her very successful upsell session, the woman who was assisting me raved about the cilantro-lime chicken salad at the Nordstrom's Cafe. When she offered to call in an order to go, I just had to have the salad too. After paying for my preplanned and impulse buys, I picked up my …

The one who is at the head of whatever line you re in that has just stalled.

2007-09-01 01:25 An Interview with Professional Closet Organizer Susie Prets
Last winter, on assignment for The Seattle Times, I invited Susie Prets into my home more specifically, into my claustrophobically cluttered closet. She spent three hours in my bedroom, attacking my closet and dressers with tough (sometimes rough) love, and left me with 14 Hefty bags full of clothing for Goodwill. I documented the entire experience here, but if you're not in the mood to click, the short version goes like this: she changed my wardrobe forever. The feeling of having an organized c …

2007-08-31 11:04 It s Company Policy
Every time a customer service representative has to utter the words "it's company policy" sirens and bells should go off in the CEO's office. The reason - most company policies are dumb. They may not be dumb when it comes to saving money or treating customers like they are out to get you, but they are dumb when it comes to building a positive relationship with customers. I am a big fan of general company policies. Policies that let people break rules instead of having to follow hundreds of littl …

2007-08-31 03:19 Belief driven decision making
Being in the agency world for quite some time, I've been blessed enough to work with lots of companies. But in the end I can separate them all into two basic buckets based on how they make decisions and think of consumers as people. The first bucket are those companies who cannot and will not make a decision until "research" tells them to make it. Many hide behind the mantra of being "fact-based decision makers." Fact is, they base their decisions on business logic, bottom-lines, legacy and …
