the curious shopper: Public or private?
http://curiousshopper.blogspot.com/2007/04/public-or-private.html
Why some stores work and others don't. Last night, I found someone else's shopping list. I was making my way through the produce section when I looked in my cart, and there it was. Stuck to the in-store circular on two Post-It notes. And you know what? It stopped me in my tracks. Maybe I'm just nosy, but I felt compelled to stand there, read it, and imagine an entire life story about the person who wrote it. Who was this woman? There are five schooldays in a week. Maybe her kids buy lunch on Fridays?

M @ Pepperdine University. User Generated Content for Members of the GSBM Marketing Society. Brand Ambassador Marketing – Using Status Stories. April 9, 2008. Posted by Keith in Uncategorized. April 2008 From status symbols to status stories. Ah, storytelling, yet another holy grail in the wonderful world of marketing. What’s new in this field?

the curious shopper: The devil you know
http://curiousshopper.blogspot.com/2008/02/devil-you-know.html
Why some stores work and others don't. The devil you know. I recently became a responsible homeowner! The process was full of twists and turns, such as a 4-month delay in construction, but I am finally home. The place is great. Sorry for the lack of posts. But grocery shopping - well, that's different. I know my old Jewel so well I could fill my cart with my eyes closed. So I'll admit, I've been going back to the old store, in the old neighborhood. It's just a few minutes out of my way. Talked about how ...

the curious shopper: You've lost me
http://curiousshopper.blogspot.com/2007/09/youve-lost-me.html
Why some stores work and others don't. So here's the scenario. You call up a fabric store, curious if they have a particular brand of quilting ruler. (The reason why you need a quilting ruler in the first place is, um, outside the scope of this post). A kindly-sounding woman answers the phone. She has to go and check, and she graciously asks if you can be placed on hold. You agree. No problem. 00:21 That woman sounded so nice. I'll bet she has adorable grandchildren. 01:37 This hold music is boring.

the curious shopper: Money talks
http://curiousshopper.blogspot.com/2008/09/money-talks.html
Why some stores work and others don't. Friends. It's been a while! I hope you'll excuse my lack of writing in this space. But a lot has changed in the past six months. I got married, changed my name, and - perhaps most importantly - got a new job. I am no longer a Retail Planner; I am now called a Senior Strategist. The new title is hot, huh? But it means that my focus, at least professionally, is no longer solely in retail. So we chose Barcelona for our honeymoon. Why? Besides the amazing architecture a...

Why some stores work and others don't. Shopping for The Dress. First of all, before everyone freaks out, no. This is not The Dress. Just the first one I tried on. So as you all know, I've got a wedding to plan. This is a thrilling, emotional, stressful journey in which my money is taken from my wallet in all sorts of new ways. Your wedding only happens once! It's the happiest day of your life! My wedding only happens once.therefore I should pay $6,000 to rent a room? Are you people nuts? Of every nuptial...
