Giftology: The Art and Science of Using Gifts to Cut Through the Noise, Increase Referrals, and Strengthen Retention

Does it feel like you work in a ‘red ocean filled with sharks?’ Eat or be eaten. Fierce competition. Continual battling over scarce resources. What if there was another path? What if you could create your own blue oasis where profits are higher, marketing is as natural as breathing, and competition is nearly nonexistent? This nirvana can be a reality when you practice the…

Why “Gift Giving Guy”?

“It is every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.” (Albert Einstein)

This blog is my writing workout on a topic that colors how I see things: gift giving.

I'm not a professional shopper or corporate gift buyer. I'm just a guy — albeit a guy who likes to shop for thoughtful, memorable gifts. Then write about it.

“Gift Giving Guy” grants me my own column, a place where I can share my ideas and thoughts on gift seeking and giving. Through my blog posts, I hope to better my giving, better my writing, and maybe even better some gift-seeking readers along the way.

I find gift giving an essential but often unexamined ritual in American culture. So, in between the gift ideas and advice, I am hoping to refine my understanding on why we give from socio-economic, cultural and psychological perspectives. Bear with me on these departures into the social sciences and philosophy — or giftology, for lack of a better term.

I'm also fascinated with the operations of traditional retail, e-commerce and interactive web sites. By sharing my ideas and what I've found online, I hope to give back and ever so slightly enhance the relevance of the Web for gift seekers.

Essentially, “Gift Giving Guy” is my gift to you. Unwrap and enjoy!
