How to Kill Your Restaurant Business Fast: Four Eulogies
One of the biggest mistakes that restaurant owners make is to believe that they are in the food business. Big mistake! Grocery stores are in the food business. Restaurants are in the experience business. The experience at McDonalds is very different from that at Boston Pizza from TGI Fridays from Ruth's Chris Steak House.

Here are four restaurant failures that I witnessed recently in our neighborhood.

Grocery industry at high risk of theft
Shoplifting is very common in the grocery stores, especially now that most stores have expanded to carry much more than just your stable grocery items. The combination of higher end consumer items combined with relatively low levels of security make it an ideal target for shoplifters. With tougher economic times it is projected that theft both internal as well as external is expected to dramatically increase. With small profit margins grocery stores need to seriously consider the prevention of shoplifting as a key component in reducing losses.
Sex, Drugs, and Alcohol
Think about it….Dating websites are packed. Professional matchmakers are showing profits greater than landowners. Michael Phelps is getting more publicity with paraphernalia around his neck than 8 gold metals. Local corner liquor stores are packed every night. The economy may be struggling, but these industries continue to flourish.

Local E-commerce marketing
Websites and e-commerce take up much of the mindshare around retail these days, but e-commerce still only accounts for about 10% of total retail sales.

Local search tools make it easier than ever to be found by customers who can actually visit your store.
My Retail Furniture Business Closed - Now What?
For 17 years I owned a small group of retail furniture specialty stores in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. I sold exotic furniture from all over the world, unusual decorative accessories and art. The retail stores were like mini-museums with price tags, and we had a great following. I got used to working long hours in my stores, so when I was forced to close them I was left with lots of time to figure out what to do next. The solution I found was in a different industry...
Consumer Packaged Goods Marketing - Retail Freebies
The way companies market their products are typically similar. However freebie marketing varies with every company. For example, many grocery stores implement freebie marketing by offering free samples of foods or other products. However, retail stores have to be a little more creative -- and willing to spend more money on their campaign.

Engagement, Customer Experience Drive Loyalty
Which stores do a great job of creating loyalty? How do engagement and experience play into that? These are questions I found myself asking as I went on a hastily planned shopping experience to the “local” upscale mall.

Unearthing the truth about reusable fabric grocery bags
It doesn't take market research and online surveys to know that more and more people want to do their part to help the environment. Most environmentally aware citizens recycle. So bringing a reusable fabric bag when you grocery shop seems like a no-brainer. You'll keep plastic out of landfills. If fewer bags are made, less energy is spent producing them. And, if the grocery store charges for bags, you'll save money. But are US consumers embracing the eco-friendly grocery bag option as much as they have embraced the blue box? A recent market research study reveals the truth.
