The best way to sell clothing is the Kohls model. Those sales and perks draw the customers in.

I read an autobography once where the man learned from John Cash Penney himself how to save money even in the way they tied packages up (in the day when they did that sort of thing). Valuable lessons.

The autobiography was that of Sam Walton.

Absolutely, I was going to say this but was too lazy to type it all.

Kohl's utilizes newer technologies (and older) very well. Every week, I get one or two texts (Kohl's alerts) and they are typically 15-20% off any purchase.

Now when one of my kids needs sneakers or I need new dishcloths--instantly I think to check Kohl's and use my text.

Then more often than not, I get "Kohls cash" back. Sometimes as much as $20 for $50 spent.

So, the next week when we need something, where am I going? Kohl's to use the $20 in Kohl's cash I have with the text percentage off.

Some of Kohls clothes are one step above Walmarts. The balance is equal to Walmarts.

I agree. Penny's prices are very good. And if you "shop", you can get some incredble deals.

The problem with the model the Apple guy installed, and is still evolving, is getting the customer/shopper in the door.

The coupons and credit card holder specials used to bring me in (I'd stack up 2 or three coupons and get super buys).

People can't buy when they are not coming through the front door (save for on-line)
