In serving the whole nation, one might get the notion that it is easier to use alternative courier to deliver items to clients. However, the management saw a business opportunity, and launched its mail-order business. It first franchised a smaller business, a smart move, instead of competing with it, utilizing its resources, before it was renamed “Hold Everything” catalogue. It then acquired the Pottery Barn’s business in Manhattan, just three years after the IPO and began to revolutionize itself and its subsidiaries. The Pottery Barn’s business, which still holds its name, became a successful home-furnishing company, especially after re-branding and developing its identity with a new “lifestyle” face. Not only did the company pioneer, but also the use of photography featuring different styles of home settings. This technique was unique in its right and appealed as an advertising feature. Part of the new face was the redesigning of the company’s stores, into more customer-friendly and attractive. Such techniques are effective in customer retention and acquisition of new customers, especially as it gets people to identify with the beauty of the new stores and bring friends for shopping (Ryall, 2013). This strategy was beneficial to the company in not only increasing its number of customers, but also sales.
The Tory Burch company was founded just over a decade ago in Manhattan. Tory Burch, the founder and CEO wanted to offer women like herself, a lifestyle brand that was high-end and luxurious, but was at lower price point that most traditional luxury retailers. Not only are the Tory Burch pieces trend-forward and fun, but they are also timeless and are easy to incorporate into any women’s wardrobe (“Tory Burch embraces”, 2012). A wide variety of product offerings in addition to personalized customer service both online and in-store have helped create a loyal consumer base for the brand. The company’s mission statement is to be an “attainable luxury, lifestyle brand defined by classic American sportswear with a diverse sensibility” (Chung, 2013). Tory Burch realized early on that there was a certain niche market that was not being targeted: one that like designer clothing, but did not want to pay the high prices and she sought out to fill that void with her own clothing line. Tory Burch as a company and brand values their customers and shows their appreciation by offering them a variety of different products all at attainable and reasonable prices.
Remember the Titans is a film based on the true story of Virginia High School football team working to come together during desegregation in the 1970s. Herman Boone, a black head coach, is hired to lead the T.C Williams High School Football Team. The team formerly led by a white coach, Bill Yoast, is better known by their nickname, The Titans. Both Boone and Yoast must work together to bring their white and black players together in a time where segregation across racial lines in the south was commonly accepted. Boone and Yoast are successful in doing this during the team’s training camp, only to return to find that bringing the team together would be only one of the challenges they faced. We see both coaches work together and lead the team to an undefeated season that helped unite the town and overcome its own racial strife.

One of the many features of the store is a “Her Time” personal shopping service. Ladies can schedule a block of time with Janelle where they get her undivided attention in selecting just the right outfit for their body size and color. “Women have a tendency to select the simpler styles like plain black slacks or a top that doesn’t always accent their best features” says Wilson, “my goal is to help my customers stretch their comfort zone just a little and try some new things.” It is so exciting to watch a lady step into the dressing room feeling a little sheepish about trying something on and step out smiling from ear to
