Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas’ Post

I went to the Walmart museum a couple of years ago and one of the things that stuck out was Sam Walton’s truck. He was known for never really “upgrading” when he obviously could have driven the nicest or fanciest vehicle out there. Having nice things isn’t a bad thing, but staying grounded is important too. At some point, you might consider if you are driven more by things or by impact. Will I get more cool things? Money, cars, clothes? Or Will I impact more lives, families, organizations. I want to focus on that impact. What kind of #impact are you having on the world? #checkcover3 #recruiting #transportationindustry

**What You Can Learn from Buying a $7 USFL Shirt at a Memphis Thrift Store** Recently, I stumbled upon a gem—a $7 USFL shirt from a thrift store in Memphis. At first glance, it's just a shirt, but as I reflected on it, I realized it embodies lessons far beyond its modest price tag. 1. History Resonates: The USFL (United States Football League) might remind us of dreams that didn't quite turn out as planned but left an indelible mark. Like the league, every organization or project has its share of glory and challenges. Understanding history helps us appreciate the journey and learn from past strategies and errors. 2. Value Is Subjective: What's one person's giveaway is another's treasure. In business, understanding varying perceptions of value is crucial. Whether it’s a product, a service, or a job role, recognizing and communicating the unique value you provide can make all the difference. 3. Sustainability Is Key: Thrift shopping is a small but meaningful nod to environmental sustainability. In our professional lives, sustainability can translate into developing processes or products that are not only economically viable but also environmentally friendly and socially responsible. 4. Stories Connect Us: This shirt isn't just fabric; it's a conversation starter. It's about the stories we share and the connections we make. In marketing, storytelling isn't just a buzzword—it's a powerful tool to create relatable and engaging messages. 5. Keep an Open Mind: Venturing into a thrift store requires an open mind; a readiness to find value in unexpected places. Similarly, in our careers, being open to opportunities, even those that seem insignificant at first, can lead to surprising and fulfilling paths. So, next time you pass by a thrift store, consider stopping. You might just find a $7 shirt with lessons worth considerably more. #USFL #ThriftFinds #BusinessLessons #Sustainability #Storytelling #CareerAdvice #MarketingStrategy

As the ghosts and goblins make their return this fall, welcome Spirit Halloween, the retail industry's all-time biggest pop-up operation, and 𝗧𝗥𝗥'𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗛𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸. Always ahead of time, it started opening more than 1,500 locations (a record) this week with some 50,000 employees. They will operate for about 90 days, and then get all packed up overnight until next year, same time... often in the same place at roadside and empty storefront locations. It's a remarkable achievement for privately held parent company, Spencer Spirit Holdings Inc., which operates over 600 year-round, namesake gift specialty stores in the U.S. and Canada offering hot-topic novelty gifts. In an era when most retailers struggle to open a few dozen stores a year, Spencer makes it look easy. It's a genius logistics trick...and a profitable treat for Spencer. #RetailNews #RetailMarketing #RetailInsight

Every day, a man would pass by the same route on his way to work and observe a hawker selling toys. The hawker, stationed in front of a cinema theatre, would loudly advertise his items, attracting a modest income and a small crowd. One day, the man decided to approach the hawker. Man: "Why don't you sell your toys where more people would buy them?" Hawker (Perplexed): "Where would that be?" Man: "At the children's park, where mothers bring their sons and daughters daily. That's your target audience, isn't it?" This interaction highlights how many businesses, like the hawker, often sell their products in the wrong location and then blame the product for not being market-fit. It's not just about the product; the audience and the selling location are equally important. Sell where your audience spends their time! #digitalamarketing #targetaudience #sales
