Not stirring the pot here but what happened with dicks sporting goods? Visited one today and no camo, ammo, hunting gear or ammo!!! I was...
You basically get what happened in very few posts. They changed the products they wanted to carry, for business/political reasons that were not palatable to a portion of their customer base. Then crowed loudly about it. Not working too well IMHO.
The biggest miscalculation wasn't they would lose customers buying the deleted items, but those same customers going elsewhere to buy the deleted items and at that same new store, buying the items they previously bought at Dicks, basketballs, shoes, football. Said items being more durable not replaced every year.
WalMarts did the same thing and got away with it because people still go into the store for groceries, clothes, then amble to sporting goods and buy fishing line. Complain about them, yes; buy from them still, yes. Convenience of items 4 aisles away sells more then drive thru burgers!
And in the shopping world (e.g. WalMarts) there's always ''Keep Momma happy'' which is from the root cause, ''Momma
said''
(come on fella's...you know
LoL)
Dicks lost 3 sales with lots of folks. The black gun and the kids new ball gloves, football gear etc., and subsequent future purchases.
Hey, all my IMHO take 2 pennies rub 'em together . Thank you , enjoy the rest of your weekend
