Open 25 Hours

As you know, I am a proponent of Antimimeticisomorphism. This is an example of that kinf of out-of-the-ordinary thinking. This is a sign for a convenience store in Surfer’s Paradise on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. If you come across across examples like this – people doing out-of-the-ordinary things to create extra-ordinary results, please […]

Running Room – Outstanding customer service

Every once in a while* someone does something so out-of-the-ordinary that you have to do something about it. In this instance, it started about 3 years ago when I walked into a Runner’s retail shop called Running Room.

A picture is worth a thousand lost clients

We have all heard the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words”, but a TERRIBLE picture can lose you 1,000 clients. This photo was taken from a Facebook page for a restaurant. You be the judge – would you want to eat there? It’s no surprise (to me) that this restaurant is struggling to […]
