Another Seattle company getting into book sales…
No, not Amazon. Nope, not Starbucks. Nordstrom has announced that they will be selling and publish a children’s book this Christmas season. You know what? I think it will actually work.
Nordstrom has such a personal connection with most of its shoppers that the customers will trust their person shoppers recommendations. In contrast to Starbucks [...]
Interesting choice of music…
I was at the sad sad Mariners game tonight. KOMO 1000, one of the Mariners main sponsors ran a promo in between innings advertising a new online personality. Nothing big right? Well the background music for the promo was the instrumental version of Lady Sovereign’s hit song "Love Me or Hate Me." The words weren’t [...]
