First my apologies for this very belated re...Paul,<br /><br />First my apologies for this very belated response... :(<br /><br />Your point about compelling value propositions allowing rules to be bent is marvelous and so very true. I spent Monday walking through stores in SoHo with David Polinchock http://blog.polinchock.com/. We were both amazed at the stores that were about more that just the stuff they sold [e.g., Apple, Lulu Lemon…] and able to create compelling brand and community experiences as a result.<br /><br />Makes all of this quite fascinating.<br /><br />Many thanks for commenting and I look forward to following you more closely.<br /><br />Best,<br />CBCB Whittemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737846177421292411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30346489.post-56574547442720731242009-09-06T20:22:30.634-04:002009-09-06T20:22:30.634-04:00Thank you for this post.

I am always amazed at how some retailers can have such a compelling value proposition that they are able to bend the rules at what makes a great retail experience. In fact, I think that other retailers mask the fact that their merchandise is vanilla by trying to create a 'hook' with their retail environ. Others do subscribe to what makes it right, but their products are so great that they could be on bricks and still sell - i.e. Apple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
