Business Marketing During COVID-19 $95
Danny Star and the team here are always glad to read marketing articles that agree with what we believe. That said, we’re always intrigued by articles or information that challenges our thinking. An example of that happened today with this article about marketing lessons learned during the pandemic. Most intriguing to us was “dare to…
Hard work is important. It’s the foundation of, well, everything. Without hard work, you don’t have a company, you don’t have a business, you probably don’t have much at all. However, you can’t just have hard work. If you never relax, never step back, you won’t see the results you want. That’s true in business…
The holidays! That means seeing the people we love, giving gifts, and just basking in the blow. It also means eating. Eating a lot, actually.

They offer thousands of parts. Moreover, they have thousands of parts for so many different kinds of appliances. Ovens, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers,…
