I believe the Bonobos program is brilliant and relevant. I found great pleasure in blasting my code out to Facebook... Airline points? What are those? Hotel points? Maybe by the time I am 75 I will have earned a free night. It seems it takes more and more points each year to qualify. Didn't I stay at a Hilton a million times last year only to find I had enough points to purchase a bar of soap from their in-hotel catalog? Not so bad considering it has dead sea salt in it.

Simply stated, I believe solutions in society are most often not as complicated as adult humans tend to make them. The Intuit example is a shining example of elevating another’s life through a service-based model. This, ironically, will most likely benefit the giver in the end (although this should not be their motivation). A quip from a favorite business book I love: One of the greatest myths in life is that the road to success (or results in your entry above) is hidden away, and if you could find it, it would be twisting, uphill, covered in fog, and full of pitfalls. Blame the bards who created our original success stories - the path to the princess was always hidden away, and to get there you had to pass through the dragon's lair. As a result, we tend to distrust obvious and straightforward ideas, or, at best, we patronize them saying they are "common sense" and that "everybody should know that." It almost seems as if, by some flaw of human nature, we simply tend to favor secretive and complex ideas over obvious and simple ones. It seems we are unnecessarily lost in a sea of complexity these days. Again, the success point for today's businesses will be to 1. Quiet the noise & communicate clearly. 2. Give back in meaningful ways. 3. Keep it simple (just my thoughts...) Good on ya. I love This American Life. Can't wait to listen to it on the airplane today on my iPod. Thanks for the lead.

]]> Comment on Bonobos: Making a Great Package by Scott Burdette http://www.page-90.com/?p=378&cpage=1#comment-98 Scott Burdette Mon, 20 Jul 2009 23:27:58 +0000 http://www.page-90.com/?p=378#comment-98 As a Bonobos partner and addict I can vouch for their superior customer service and attention to detail. I always had issues finding pants that a) fit my large legs b) fit my small waist c) worth the money; with bonobos I found all three. Give them a try you won't be disappointed, and if you all Marshall and the rest of the ninjas will fix the problem.

Especially on the Nordstom point - I recently purchased a modern fisuit but the tailoring, when completed, was of the traditional sort. I expected the Boss suit design to be understood by the in-house tailor. My mistake. Unfortunately, I am continuously learning that society has had decades of producing for the "average" so when someone with specific requests steps forward the nation's service providers don't know how to accomodate. If I want sleek modern lines of my suit, don't be afraid to go there even though most of your customers request traditional tailoring. There's such a gap in service right now. Now is the era of "extra" meaning extrodinary. Average is going out of business or is being laid off. I see this as a time to gain market share for all respective services/businesses. It's a great time to be growing a brand. I'm embarking on that journey right now in a personal business. Thanks for the inspiration, I'll be back regularly. Brilliant, just brilliant.
