To Clutter or Not Clutter --- Old Products, New Products. A thought

2009 Season has completed. Now we have time to do some things we love to do. From now to the New Year, we will relax and day dream. That does not mean we will ignore our Internet customers. We will still service them with care and love.

Today the AARP magazine arrived. I was reading Ciji Ware's 'Declutter Your Life' article. I think most of us fall into this emotional attachment. However; after reading the article, I like to quote something she said:

'Remembrance of things past can be a real deterrent to moving forward. So can what I call future syndrome: "I might need this again sometime." But once we find a way to clear out what is no longer relevant to our lives - whether that be objects, activities, or even people - we open a path to look at all the parts of our lives and determine what matters to us now, not in the past or in the future.' Jan/Feb 2010 issue.

I have seen many vendors carry products that have been display from days past. They are not willing to replace them with new products because sometimes they have special sentiment towards what they made. Others just wouldn't replace because they do not want to put more money into new products until the old products are sold. Well, guess what? If it is not selling in the first year, it won't sell in the second year. We can apply the same as Ciji mentioned above. Change the mindset and you can move forward. This is not an exact match of what Ciji was talking about (such as cleaning up a closet), but it is quite close if one needs to move the business forward.
