Some principles of life insurance and never change. As with the law of gravity, for example, only its better to know how it works even if you're not sure why.
He reminded me last week when the magazine mens clothing fashion trade newspaper News Record (DNR) has published an article (retail Cemetery, 29 October) about a guy named Peter Divietro in Sloatsburg, New York, each year, Halloween decorating your yard with tombstones to commemorate dead retail stores.
Me recalled in turn has a chain of clothing stores in Chicago hip-hop called The Lark. Do you remember the Lark?
The owner was Lenny Rothschild. I met him in the visit of the sale of its office in suburban Chicago on a summer day in 2003 when my company was still dark shirts Throwback distribution Fives wholesale to stores. The Lark was an important consideration, since he commanded the urban fashion retail market in Chicago.
FLYING HIGH; With a unique approach to promotion and customer support, THE RISE Lark Chicagos in urban markets, to read a headline in DNR earlier this year. As Lenny Rothschild pilots his Mercedes-Benz Coupe money around Chicago, his love for the city is obvious, is how it started this article (DNR, 10 February 2003).
If you want your products to Chicago Lenny had to sell. All major brands of street loved him, and Lenny was the keeper who could make or short break, the brand of clothing to come as Black Fives. And he knew.
Lenny was smart and wanted people to know. He graduated from Harvard hanging prominently on the wall. Lenny was pleased to explain how to enter new products to check the welfare and the arrival of tax rebates to maximize sales in its core faithful to the client, the low income residents the city. Its stores are concentrated in these areas.
I have shown and I planted my capacity only attractive, educated, economically priced sweaters and hats installed game. Lenny looked at them and shrugged his shoulders and asked me how I hoped no one knows the history of Black Fives teams and players. I taught some large newspaper clippings and also explained that each piece comes with its own informational hang tag, a reminder of the vintage basketball card collection with images on one side and the text of the story in the other. I gave him one of maps.
This question generally because the black children that read, "said Lenny.
Today, when I think of the unchanging principles that work in life and in business, I think two of them asked Lenny to this day. One is that how to do something is how you do everything. The other is that what you focus on expands. The trick is that these principles have the same action in either the negative or the positive domain.
Lenny gave me an afternoon to $ 8,000. I went to sea, but what is not realized is that loyal customers had already begun a quiet revolution. Instead of buying $ 300 shirts retro as the lark sold his client had become the script, now buy Plain White t-shirts to make a similar statement, three for $ 10. Was the revenge of the poor urban consumers. It happened in the country. It's fast and it was bloody. Many urban retailers failed.
In two weeks, Lenny returned to his Black Fives order unwrapped.
Each time you buy at The Lark, customer service does not exist. African American youth were distant and resentful, for usually a sign of low wages, cheap thinking, and lack of appreciation by management.
Lenny to avoid disturbing because he was not alone in this approach called loyal customers to the center but had little experience, who bought around?
In 2005, were buried in the cemetery The Lark retail. AFTER LARK: NO MORE HIP HOP, closing its HIP-HOP APPAREL CHAIN, RETAILER OPENS ESSEX5 dedicated to premium denim, sportswear, DNR read the title yet. The Lark is based, the article started. Lenny Rothschild has closed all 10 stores Lark owned and operated, making both high-flying hip hip clothing specialty thing chain of the past (DNR, 19 December 2005).
How bad always remember about The Lark are famous Lenny Rothschild (last) words: Black children dont read.
The principles of living and working in a business always the same. Beliefs become reality. Thoughts lead to feelings lead to actions lead results. This works both ways in this case, the benefit of consumers and the chagrin of retailers. Lenny couldve avoided all the books that had it not been as secret T. Harv Ekers Millionaire Mind bright for him to read at times. But there werent. And he did.
Thus, the tombstone the epitaph may have larks, Gee, I guess young blacks to play after all.
Lenny has been good? Or all children are reading less? Or just read online that they do? Or something more? What is your opinion?
