What's hurting the brick and mortar store is not the "going in to compare items" part, but rather it's the "buying on Amazon instead of from the local store" part. You may as well say, "If everyone bought online instead of at the store the

I was born and raised in Las Vegas. Actually, my family goes back to the '30's there. Some of the strategies mentioned in the article are a bit more complex than I've thought about, but are unsurprising. I've noticed more basic things li

It's close enough to true, though, in the context of manufacturing. Extended shifts at overtime rates are not cost effective. And there are no good alternatives. I ran a manufacturing company (granted in California, a very employee frien

I think groupon has gotten a huge boost from retailer desperation since the 2008 crash. They haven't existed in a normal economy. Not only might businesses decide they are not a good solution in hard times, but in the longer term as the e
