Retailers who haven't already invested in a POS system think they are too expensive.

One marketing mistake many retailers make is not doing anything to recognize their best customers. One of the best things you can do to create loyalty is to reward customers for shopping with you.

It can cost 10 times more for a retailer to get a new customer than to get more business from existing customers.

Most retailers are busy putting out fires all day. They have to spend their time working in their business, rather than on their business.

Lobbyists have a tendency to advise their clients that the majority of their contributions should go the party in power. The party in power controls the agenda and can make things happen or keep things from happening.

We actually eat less than our ancestors, despite the fact that we eat more than we should. Since we expend so much less energy than prior generations, we need fewer calories. And when you take in fewer calories, you usually take in fewer nutrients. We also eat more high-calorie foods with poor nutritional value, like chips, and fewer nutrient-rich foods, like fruits and vegetables.
