Jim Green
Hi, I'm Jim Green, author of the three volume set of books on the retail furniture business, Furniture Retailing 101. The set of books looks at the industry from a newcomer's perspective and covers the fundamentals and basics of nearly every aspect of furniture retailing. Though it has been written for the novice, I believe the book set will have real value to individuals entering the business from other industries, journalists, analysts, manufacturing executives and representatives and anyone with an interest in learning more about our industry. I have over 30 years experience in both the supply and retail sides of the furniture business, and hold an MBA in Management. In this Web log I will write about some of the more basic and rudimentary aspects of our business and present observations of some of what I have learned over the past three decades.

Retailers might wish to do an internal audit of their businesses to determine how well their marketing uses a common sense approach. While this audit may not be totally scientific, it might reveal areas that should be targeted for improvement. I would be happy to email al... MoreLink This | Email This | Comments (3) Uncommon Common Sense #9I have been posting examples of common sense marketing since my post of August 19 because I wanted to cause readers to think about whether his/her business uses common sense strategies and tactics. I think that common sense, more than anything else, drives businesses. Sometimes, these common sense decisions may not be monumental. But, they also may be the difference between achieving moderate and... MoreLink This | Email This | Comments (5) Uncommon Common Sense #8Sometimes I wonder where ‘common sense' has gone. It should be a large part of marketing furniture at retail but occasionally I see examples of just the opposite. I have been posting examples of common sense marketing and merchandising for some time now. If you have missed any, please go back to earlier posts. I would like for retailers to consider whether they use common sense in their strategies... MoreLink This | Email This | Comments (7) Uncommon Common Sense #7I believe that common sense is the most effective attribute any marketing person, in fact any business person, can possess. I have been posting some Common Sense examples on my blog for about 6 weeks now. They are not necessarily mammoth in scope; just examples of common sense ideas that might help any retailer's businesses but of which I don't really see much. If you have missed any, please go ba...
