It makes the reader feel like “I need to read this!!”. In fact, reading it made me think deeper how important and unfortunately necessary this organization’s role and duty is. I’m glad that you mentioned “No animals left behind”. Animals must be treated as safe, and equal as humans.

I like that it is easy to understand the answers to “what, who, why, and where “.

We chosed the same pitch, and it is really nice to read your ideas. Also, I love that you mentioned how powerful was the presentation of the product. Indeed it was!

Making the strips customizable by allowing customers personalize it could be so profitable. I’m sure that sales would increase significantly since people prefer an item more when it’s customized with their own name, or as you mentioned, with their own picture.

I fully agree with your concluding sentence. Most of us don’t even realize that we apply CDM at every product or service purchase, since we purchase the same item or service so many times, and we are so familiar with search engines that an order can take literally minutes. I think this is not only because of being familiar with t…[Read more]

I think that you touched a very essential issue that Toys R Us ignored and lost customers. Not being able to satisfy different aged groups was one of the key points of failing. Also, as you mentioned, once a different organization offered a waster list of products to customers, it was much more interesting for families to go to that…[Read more]

I think you are right. As I know the general rule in the US, both parties (plaintiff/defendant) pay their own legal fees, regardless of the winner. However, for instance, in the UK the general rule is that the loser pay’s the winner’ costs. </span>

I agree with your thoughts. The e-commerce revolution affected every industry. And of course, the smarter and the most strategic planner survived. Unfortunately, Toys R Us was one of the most badly affected, but as I mentioned in my post, and you paid attention to it, they received more than  $50 M. Obviously, it’s not a big amount…[Read more]
