The New Connected Shopper?

While reading today of sophisticated mobile-marketing strategies – complex concepts such as “creating meaningful retail connection points,” ” transforming points-of-sale into points-of-service,” “engaging the new connected shopper” and “becoming an omni-channel retailer” – I was reminded, in contrast, of simpler shopping experiences that I enjoyed decades ago.

Data Collection Documentation: A Recipe for Success

I like to cook, and for the most part, I work from recipes. But to me, a recipe is usually a guideline. Some of my recipes are relatively new, while some of them are passed down from my grandparents—transcribed, of course. When it says a cup of this, a cup of that, teaspoon here, teaspoon …

Taipei Adventures, Part III: Change Can Be A Good Thing

Have you ever gone on a trip and not had any problems? I’m fairly certain that a problem-free trip is pretty much impossible, but it was almost smooth sailing for my husband and me when we traveled to Taiwan for an Advantech AASECO conference last fall.
