Best Pos for retailers

  The office cabinet is full of old office supplies.   I also added a non-functioning keyboard and a mouse to our cabinet.   The same old thought of  "I might have to this sometime later"  still plagues us digitally. Information systems, like physical objects, will eventually become obsolete.   This is true for all reports, metrics and reporting platforms. Many times, when implementing a new system is underway, old structures are still in use.   In the last few hours of the resource-spending process, it can become weeks, months, and finally years.   In case you still need something. Do not fall for the trap of thinking that something will come later. It is easy to shut down a server, reporting service or database.   Even so, it is possible to miss crucial strategic decisions.   It is not easy to determine if a system serves a purpose. Similar questions arise when a new system is implemented.   Is everyone using the new system, or ju...

  Is it necessary to go to university in order to study design? Earlier this month , Design Week reported on a proposal from the government to slash university arts funding by half. This recommendation was the result a consultation led by Gavin Williamson, education secretary, and the Office for Students (OfS).   This was justified because "high-cost" subjects such as art, design, and music are not in line with the government's "strategic priorities". Some may be unsure if university is the best route to a career as a designer.   The rising cost of education and the continuing online learning as a result the pandemic may raise questions. We also know that less people are taking up design courses -  UCAS data  from 2020 showed nearly 800 fewer students placed on design courses than the previous year. However, there are many non-university options. But how does this compare? "If you are imagining yourself as a designer in 30 years, you should be able to learn...

Since the dawn of time (or since the beginning of mass-market retail), womenswear has become the dominant force in the apparel industry. Dresses, shoes, blouses, handbags--you name it; driving sales in those apparel types was the supreme target inherent retailers' advertising plan, and menswear was second-fiddle. Now, however, an unexpected shift is fast-approaching: earnings in men's fashion apparel is growing at a greater rate than the womenswear industry. Times, They're A-Changin' So, how exactly will this about-face alter the future of in-store apparel advertising? That is a billion-dollar question . For apparel retailers, addressing a pivotal shift in customer demographics can not just mean a little bit of new shelving and much more"masculine" signage (after all, not all guys are enticed by the dark wood, brown leather cosmetic so frequently associated with menswear boutiques). To come out on top, it is crucial that manufacturers consider the challen...

It's difficult to discuss sex without talking about sex . A solo or partnered act, sex comprises different narratives--and frequently baggage. Sex is reproduction and family planning. Sex is with one partner or several. Sexual self-pleasure, well that, also, isn't without navigation. Pop culture changes our idea of sex for a performance. Institutions and authorities have made rules about sex, making the private very political. I am barely scratching the surface of how and why we consider sex the way we do. In a progressive era, though a beautiful and organic act, sex remains positioned as complicated and divisive. However, there's a brand trying to change thought and practice of sex to a biological and physical health norm: maude . Maude is unique. The direct-to-consumer wellness provider wants to live in a world where personal massagers are purchased in comparative stability and normalcy along with other health products found in a pharmacy.
