qirex posted:like remember when jc penny hired ron johnson away from apple and he figured it was more efficient to just have lower pricing instead of 400 discount events per year [that was the actual number, more than one sale per day]? they almost went out of business he also tried to make going to jcp a fancy high-end experience (almost like apple stores - gosh that's a weird coincidence!) so the guy's apparently got exactly one move and it only works when your target market has $$$
