While Trish Sanford’s Bubbles will be closing it’s doors- fear not. Trish’s (forgive the pun) bubbly personality will not leave Main Street, you will find her at the Green Life store right down the street. I’ll be sure to catch up with Trish once she gets settled in to her new job as manager at Green Life.

Joni King Models A Vintage Dress At Bananas

While at Bananas interviewing Richard Leonard in pops this woman, Joni. She is poking around and out of the frame of the video I was taking but Richard knew her well as she was one of his regular customers. He had a pile of dresses put aside for her in her size, things he thought she would like, all waiting for her to show up as she apparently does weekly. Now I know we have great merchants Downtown and this is just another example of how our community is special and places like Bananas and others cater on a personal level to our community. You think someone at the mall is going to put certain sizes and styles aside for a customer and have them waiting for them to pop in to try on without notice? Bravo Richard! Bravo Bananas! Bravo Gloucester!

Articulating Value and Benefits
September 24, 2008

Hello again.

Two weeks ago we went bike shopping for my oldest daughter. At every specialty bike store I asked what I thought was a simple question. I asked, “What’s the reason to pay over twice the price of a bicycle from a big box retailer?”

It seems a simple enough question. As a consumer, I’m looking for the retailer to tell me the value I’ll receive if I invest more money in their product. And that’s what it is, an investment. All the retailer has to do is articulate the value of his (yes, everyone we spoke to was a “he”) product as a benefit to me as compared to the cheaper big box product. By the way, it seems like they need more women in that industry.
