In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d share this with you all. What a simple but wonderful way of connecting with one’s customers! There is so much truth in the statement

“It is better to give, than to receive.”

This is a foreign concept to many retailers but it’s exactly the way we need to be thinking, especially with the competition of online shopping these days. A giving retailer is a receiving retailer.

I will leave you to ponder over this and challenge you to consider how you can give out to your customers. And remember giving is not always monetary it comes in many shapes and forms. You can give with your words or with your time, or through your service to others.  As John M. Huntsman Sr. says:

“Wealth isn’t always measured in dollar signs. We each have time, talent and creativity, all of which can be powerful forces for positive change. Share your blessings in whatever form they come and to whatever level you have been blessed.” 

Happy V Day to all! X
