| Wal-Mart's online survey: interesting stuff
On a weekly research visit to a local Wal-Mart store this past week, a small purchase produced a receipt with an interesting addition -- an opinion survey that could be performed online. Generally, these surveys are a waste from most retailers. A customer is required to fill in all kinds of personal information with the slight chance of winning a free stuffed toy while providing the retailer all kinds of marketing information that should be worth way more than a "chance" at winning something insignificant.But Wal-Mart's was different: a chance to win a $1,000 gift card to one if its stores. Now, I'm quite sure Wal-Mart can be a little more generous that five of these cards for receiving probably millions in customer research value through survey responses, but the concept still resonates with the average Wal-Mart shopper most likely.I found it interesting that the receipt also printed out these items to be used within the survey: Store number, ID (probably a unique customer number) and a password.

Why Choose Forex?
It has been said that Traders are risk managers. They know that investing in any way, shape, or form is gambling, from the relatively benign 401k to the OEX Thunderdome. They thrive on the thrill of the hunt always looking for the next win. They are highly intelligent, carefully weighing the odds and using all manner of analysis to tip the odds into their favor and reap the rewards. This risk mentality dictates, however, they are constantly looking for that next avenue of revenue generation. The 80s were dominated by real estate investments, the 90s saw the resurgence of stock and bond trading, and the 00s are seeing the explosion that is the Forex market. Unless you have been hiding in a cave somewhere I am sure you have heard of the Foreign Exchange market. You can hardly swing a cat without hitting someone who; a) has an amazing seminar about Forex trading that you simply cannot miss, b) made a million in 30 days, or c) can tell you exactly how to trade the market so that you can make a million in 30 days (just send a check or money order now!).
Kimmells find a home at Forge
An ordinary box of corn starch should be the mascot for Ron and Sheila Kimmell as they settle in to their neighborhood as the owners of Forge Food Mart and Liquor. It was Christmas last year, Ron begins, urging his wife of 39 years to tell the story. Sheila reluctantly filled in the blanks, obviously believing there was nothing extraordinary about her actions to save one familys holiday dinner last December. Sheila was working the store Christmas Day to let their employees be home with their own families. One man walked in, sent there on a mission to find corn starch to thicken the turkey gravy for dinner. A search of the shelves proved Forge did not carry the item. Naturally, Sheila picked up the phone and called all the other local convenience stores that were open for the holiday, but none of them stocked corn starch, either.
