Sorry if I disappointed you, but probably not. During the past several months, only a few people lamented that I hadn’t blogged in a while. No worries, I am returning to this space with the same insights and intensity, but a little more infrequently.
My feeble excuse for no blogs is simple: I became afflicted by the furniture disease: My verbal chest fell into my empty mental drawers.
During my self-imposed sabbatical, I noticed the most furniture marketing remained rather static, even banal. Wonder why?
Business stinks. A frightened industry declines to modify its timeless and priceless marketing approach: A frontier sale barbeque of variations on the yeehaw theme of “Y’all (consumers) come and git it, ya he-ah.”
Aw shucks, with that kind of persuasive marketing, no wonder many manufacturers and retailers are receiving high marks in their crash course on sales prevention.
Yes, I am working my way through Mike Dugan’s intriguing tome, The Furniture Wars, and trying to devour, The Age of The Unthinkable, both are my evening reading as strange bedfellows for the mind.
In the daze and days ahead, I will succinctly blog on, write on, sharing some thoughts t ignite more thoughts and action.
Oh, I had some fun on a recent California vacation, clicking some quick pix of Pottery World north of Sacramentoin Rocklin for Susan Dickenson of Home Accents Today. She posted them on her blog, Retail Update. Thanks Susan.
