Around The Business

It’s that time of the year when we tend to take a look back. When I reflect on what the past year and half has meant to Columbus, I’m reminded that this is a city with much to celebrate.

We’re number one. A lot.

I’m not just saying that, either. There’s proof:

Excitement abounded when COSI was named #1 science center in the country by Parents Magazine .

Anyone who follows my movements online will have noticed that I’ve been rather quiet recently. This is because I have, for the past month or so, been part of a Headshift team, which at various times drew upon the experience and skills of more than ten people, working to deliver a piece of strategic consultancy on creating successful customer communities for a client.

In today’s economic crisis, impression has become bigger then possession. If you give someone the impression that your replica watch is the real thing, they will believe your replica watch is the real thing.

I went to high school with a guy named Jeremy. He had this big and beautiful high school class ring he saved up to purchase. When looking at the ring it seemed the main stone seemed to be surrounded by small diamonds. When asked about the diamonds Jeremy would comment, “They are real enough to you!”

Your online business may not be as big as amazon.com or walmart.com but always make sure your business is “Real (big) enough to you (the customer)” Remember whether it’s a replica watch or a high school class ring, your business is always big enough for any customer.
