Comment on Costco – Nightclub Marketing Strategy in Shopping by Sandi

Sandi — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:54:03 +0000

As a Canadian shopper I have had Costco around for some time. Every time I go it costs me $300.00 – what do I buy? Stuff. Not that I don’t go I save $300.00 and I buy stuff closer to home, no need to have my cart searched, have to find storage for all the bulk items and here’s the kicker -
All the bargains I thought were a Costco special – I’ve found cheaper at my regular shops – who don’t charge me a membership fee.
Costco – Not for me!
Maybe I’m too old for the night club scene too!

Great post Alisa!
I have been there and it IS rather confusing until you actually enter the store then there is a vast array of local products!

Thought you might have “touched em up” for a website, that’s how I have got a couple in my day. I ALWAYS ask: “Have you got a website?” 90% it is nah or yep BUT it is out of date, needs works etc. Great way to generate new biz!

Comment on Drumming Up New Customers and Sales by Ross Craven

To me this is a really good article because at the start it is coming right in your face by asking you a question, which tries to get you thinking. Then after the question, they tell you the ideas about the question which would explain the steps you should follow.

Ailsa, what would you say is a great, low cost system for managing and segmenting your client base for email communication purposes? I would love one that would send out a “wld you lik to stay on the database?” and then some questions to tailor to their interests…e.g weight loss vs anti-ageing vs family nutrition, etc

Hope I am making sense…I know what I am looking for but not how to explain lol

Thank you!

Bridget
