It is crucial for any business in any industry to keep up with technological trends for its survival. Like Darwin’s survival of the fittest, the companies who are ready to adapt to the latest trends will survive and the others will become extinct. This is why we see many retailers expanding their business to online shopping, because they are following the latest trend in the retail industry. Those retailers, who fail to set up ...<< MORE >>
Why would you want to shop online - Part Two
Now that the holidays are over and online shopping has cooled down, it’s time to cash in on all those gift cards you received as holiday gifts. It seems like every major retailer and online shopping company offers gift cards these days. Though January is still a busy time in shopping malls with people handling returns, exchanges, or cashing in the gift card, as a gift card holder you can avoid the shopping malls. How? Cash it in at an online store.
Many retailers don’t limit the use of gift cards to the retail store ...<< MORE >>
Why would you want to shop online
Instead of driving a car to a shopping mall, online shoppers maneuver and click a mouse to buy any product online. From self storage to car storage to boat storage to storage boxes to storage bins, self storage customers can buy anything for their storage needs by online shopping. The world of ecommerce enables online shopping at thousands of retail and self storage businesses around the world and without leaving the comfort from the couch. For many shoppers, online shopping has taken over the place of shopping in retail malls.

Secret Shopping and Weather
The weather section in the morning paper calls for snow and ice canceling your shopping date with the mall. Newspaper advertisements show huge sales this weekend, now they are just a waste of paper. Or are they? Maybe there is still hope in taking advantage of the huge blowout sales without leaving your home. Actually, there is a way. It’s called online shopping. When the big retailers are closed due to snow or to business ours, online shopping is still open for business. Like the post office, online shopping is open during rain, snow, and ...<< MORE >>
More about Online Shopping and Self Storage
Picture this scenario: a self storage property manager just gets off the phone with a self storage customer who booked a storage unit her mother’s old furniture. The word mother repeatedly echoes in his brain. The self storage manager knows that this word, mother, should trigger some sort of reminder about his own mother. Then, as he whispers mother three times with his lips, he yells out, mother, its mother’s birthday tomorrow.
At first the self storage property manager begins to panic as he has realized that he had forgotten about his mother’s birthday. Is ...<< MORE >>
Online Shopping and Self Storage
I’ve written self storage blogs about the advantages of online shopping, but I have yet to share online shopping information about the benefits of online shopping for self storage . Just like self storage, online shopping is safe and secure. Practically all self storage companies have a company web site where information is provided about the property. Many like StorageMart offer online reservation capabilities.
What I love about the internet is the ability to conduct research. If you are online shopping for a storage unit for boat storage or shoe storage, use ...<< MORE >>
offline shopping vs. online shopping
The other day someone told me that they never used the internet for online shopping. I couldn’t believe it. I though everyone was on the online shopping bandwagon. Though studies show that people over 65 years old and kids less than 15 years old are unlikely to use the internet for online shopping, this person is in his thirties. When I asked him why he doesn’t use the internet for online shopping , his answer caused a bit of a debate with the dangers of online shopping versus the dangers of regular shopping. ...<< MORE >>
Online Shopping Part Two
On my last online shopping blog, I went over steps on how to find a legitimate online shopping site. Though I went over on how to find the perfect online shopping web site , I have yet to go over the cautions to take before you give out your credit card number. There are many people who still fear the online shopping experience. I am here to tell you it is just as safe as, or safer than shopping at the mall. Just follow my advice and your online shopping experience will be as ...<< MORE >>
Online Shopping
My favorite invention with no doubt is online shopping . Why? First I’ve always dreaded fighting the mall traffic. Second, waiting in a long line with screaming kids begging their parents of a pack of bubble gum is not my idea of a perfect Saturday afternoon. Online shopping allows me to go shopping all over the world from my cozy couch and a bottle of wine. However, online shopping should be conducted with caution. For those of you who are new to online shopping, you will enjoy the convenience and ease shopping with your new ...<< MORE >>
Secret shopping is a great strategy to learn about the competition.
Secret shopping is a great strategy to learn about the competition. One of my job responsibilities as a district manager for a wireless retail chain was to check out our competition by secret shopping them. Not only did this strategy generate sales approaches to counter our competition’s punches, it allowed us to adopt new innovative ideas and discredit others used by the competition.
Secret shopping also was used to train new employees. Like self storage, the wireless phone industry is highly competitive and the sales process is very intimidating to new hires. It takes time for ...<< MORE >>
Quality Assurance
What do you look for in a product or service? Price, availability, guarantees, style, reputation, brand recognition, and quality are just a few of the things that consumers look for before making a choice about an important product or service. Quality assurance can be a service or a description of how something might be delivered to you. Quality, the term is known to mean, “top shelf,” better than average, excellence, value, or superior. Assurance is the promise, oath, declaration, word, or pledge. Together we have Quality Assurance, the promise of superiority. When you need << MORE >>

Precios. Precios. Precios
Entre las premisas que nos dieron cuando comencé mi entrenamiento como representante de ventas en Phone Smart, estaba la de lidiar hasta lo prudente con aquellas personas que nos llaman pero que sólo quieren saber de precios. Adueñarse de la llamada y darle un nuevo comienzo y un nuevo destino me parecía entonces una de las estrategias de ventas más difíciles de llevar a la práctica. Esa estrategia sólo comenzó a mostrárseme con otros matices y otra facilidad el día en que noté la verdadera falta que tienen de ser guiados muchos de nuestros clientes, incluidos ...<< MORE >>
Storage Issue or People Issue
Storage Issue or People Issue
Whenever I watch home improvement television shows on channels like TLC, Discovery, and Home and Garden channel, the biggest dilemma is storage . Everybody on these shows wants more storage space. And it doesn’t matter how much existing storage space they currently have. They may have existing closets that are the size of a one bedroom apartment; they may a walk in kitchen pantry with enough space to park a SUV. But they still complain that they need more storage.
A few years ago, my wife and I moved from a home that ...<< MORE >>
Wine Storage
Have you ever wondered where the term “wino” came from? It is an offensive term that dates back to the Victorian Era to refer to a poor drunkard. Wine was cheap and considered a poor mans drink; hence, wino referring to a drunk poor homeless man. Whether this origin is true or not, wine has somehow climbed up the prosperity ladder. In the last decade, wine has become so trendy that wine connoisseurs are standard at most fine restaurants. Furthermore, wine is not just a drink to drown your sorrows, wine also is an investment. To protect ones investment, << MORE >>

Ethics of SERP
In the ever changing world of ecommerce and its subsequent inherent dilemmas, it is hard to pin point to a particular set of issues that would take precedent over others.

SWOT Weakness and Thread
Today’s announcement by Microsoft that it will provide a 3 year warranty and repairs in order to eliminate the current issues with “Ring of Death” is rather expected.

In terms of SWOT analysis, this announcement is certainly a great illustration of a potential weakness as well as thread. In terms of weakness, the hardware flaws that have plagued XBOX 360, have illustrated a great point of weakness. In terms of threat, such ...<< MORE >>
