#MallLife For The Millennial Soul

#MallLife For The Millennial Soul #retailtuesday

Any questions that shook you, Mother Mall had the answer. Her glistening gray hair brought life to the dull gray polo uniform of the Food Court Quick Mart. She greeted each employee by name as she tendered to us our nutritious affordable meals of stale hot dogs, Pringle cans, and 32 oz sodas.

Her eyes pierced through thick lenses with flames of sincerity and compassion for the injustices of our…

4 Simple District Manager Practices That Inspire Results

Balance and distance are perhaps the two most underestimated challenges of being a #DistrictManager. #leadership #communication #management

It was Sabrina’s first day as the newest district manager of the mid-level retailer that she had represented for the past three years. She sat down at the desk in her private office, the transition from sales floor to corporate was surprisingly alienating. She wanted to be back in the stores, but in her district she had 13 locations spanning over five different states, and to spend too much time…

Why I Prefer Shopping Online and Not in Your Store and How You Can Get Me Back

Sometimes we become so caught up with our goals, road blocks, and protocols we overlook our most valuable expert source, our customer. What's your strategy to win her back? #CustomerExperience #Retail #management

Yes! I admit it. I love to shop online. But there are a lot of things that online shopping can’t do for me. When clothes shopping, I can’t touch the material first or even try it on. I can’t really get a good idea of the size of something like furniture or how it will fit into my house. And we’ve all seen that hilarious online shopping fail where the picture of the item and the actual item…

My Quest For Career Bliss--Yes It Does Exist

My Quest For Career Bliss--Yes It Does Exist #ThrowbackThursday #inspiration #Happiness #careers

My daddy could sell ‘ice to an Eskimo’, or so I was told. Growing up, I remember my daddy was a jovial person. He laughed more than any human I have still yet to meet, and he always donned a smile that extended across his entire face. I would trace the deep crevices that had cratered in a sunburst pattern from his eyes at only 35. He was my love, my hero, and held all my admiration. I…

What's So Unique About The Lush Experience Anyway?

What's So Unique About The Lush Experience Anyway? #customerexperience #retailtuesday

Lush seems to be quite the hot topic with their products constantly scrolling across our Instafeeds and their aroma seemingly awaiting us around every corner. But where did they come from, and how did they become such an integrated part of who we are as a people? I mean seriously, they were established only in 1995 and within 20 years they had exceeded 900 locations. 20 years may sound like a…

I have wanted to be a published author for as long as I can remember.

Ipsy And the Influence of You Tube

How the Success of a Beauty Subscription Box showed us the Influence of You Tube #AtoZChallenge #beauty

For those as unfamiliar as I was with Ipsy, it is a beauty subscription that for only ten dollars a month customers receive a monthly sampling of up to 5 to 6 beauty products. “So like Birchbox,” I asked proud to show off my hip knowledge of retail to my Generation Z assistant. At first she gave a look of total disgust before quickly forcing a kind smile, “ya, except better.” So I started…

Hello Fresh- The Proof is in the Gluten-Free Bread Pudding

Back before we were a strictly dairy free, Mediterranean, Paleo family we subscribed to Blue Apron…twice. The first time was in April of 2015, and at first, like the rest of subscribers, we loved it. It’s easy to keep the subscription about a month until you begin to realize your fridge is building up with ingredients that you don’t know if they were from the Blue Apron skipped two weeks ago…

5 Ways Gucci Sets Out To Change the World #atozchallenge #change

Gucci’s Mission Statement may be as simple as to become the leader in luxury market at worldwide level but their actions speak much louder than these words as they are not only a world wide leader in luxury but in love and change as well. Entering the Gucci state of mind can be quite an interesting, borderline terrifying experience to someone who is not accustomed to their eccentric mindsets. …
