Quick Store Makeover
Pump some fresh energy into your sales with a few changes and updates.
By Larry and Jane McGrath
Want to stay competitive? Then you'll need to shake things up by freshening your store's paint, signage and lighting every three years and investing in a full remodel every six years.
One of the reasons, according to Linda Cahan, a retail visual design consultant with Cahan & Company, West Linn, Oregon, is that "a store that hasn't been renovated in seven years has fallen into patterns and traps. The personnel, no matter how hard they try to do something different, are going to repeat merchandising habits over and over."
On the other hand, a fresh layout, remodeled endcaps and redesigned signage forces the staff to rethink the entire merchandising for the store. That rethinking, according to Cahan, energizes your sales team and your customers.
So if you're looking to pump some quick energy into your sales, be prepared to make some changes.
Get Started
You walk into the store every day, but do you really "see" what is there? Probably not. This is because humans scan for what they know and expect, and ignore all the rest.
To see what your customers see, take photos of everything—parking lot, window displays, entrance (inside and outside), aisles, shelves, counters and walls.
Examine the images for items such as an open trash can in plain view, exposed electrical cords and merchandise blocking an aisle. Check the shelf and endcap photos for dusty stock, shabby signs, "holes" of missing product and sections that sag because there's too much weight.
Look at the wide-angle photos of the interior for things like too-bright and dark areas, missing signage, and walls with dingy paint or peeling posters.
Now, use what you discovered in the photos to develop your makeover plan.
Develop a Plan
While it's tempting to just start moving and painting, developing a plan encourages you to prioritize what needs to be done and decide how much you can afford to spend.
In general, you'll get a good return on any makeover investment. For example, a single change like a new-color coat of paint will a get you a small 4–6 percent sales increase, whereas a major renovation, according to Cahan, will typically generate a 38 percent increase.
Low Cost Basics
Every makeover plan should include the following five basics.
For example, construct a mock ignition system with electronic control parts as well as a distributor that's open to show internal parts, wires, harness and retainers, and spark plugs with plug thread repair kit.
Update the Color Scheme
A fresh coat of paint is one of the least expensive and most noticeable improvements you can make. But, if you're concerned about the time required to repaint the whole store, consider less demanding options. For example, paint just one wall with an accent color, or paint a bright color stripe the length of one wall and add that color accent throughout the store.
If you decide to do an accent wall, choose the wall that will give you the best impact or "pop" from the front door. Next, select a color that will add the zing you need.
Warm hues—reds, oranges—tend to make a wall seem closer to you than a white wall. So, painting a side wall red could make the store feel too narrow. But, if your store is long and narrow, painting the end wall red could make the store feel more balanced in size.
Cool hues—blues, greens—tend to make a wall seem farther away. This means you can make a "short" store seem longer, or a skinny one feel wider, by painting an end wall or a side wall in a cool hue.
Once the painting's done, add a few dynamic manufacturer logos or posters and a couple of product racks to soften the "pop" and you've got a dramatic, but not overpowering change.
Change-up the Displays
You can improve your displays without investing in new fixtures by making sure products are placed to the best advantage. For example:
If you've decided you have dollars to invest in improving your displays, consider adding a new fixture to complement your existing system. For example, if you're using an adjustable metal shelving system, like gondola shelving, you might be able to add a four-way island without having to move existing shelves.
If you want a new look, break up an endless 12-foot-long aisle of shelving by replacing a six-foot straight section with a six-foot curved section. Or, create a vertical display area. This type of display is perfect for placing like-functioning products that create add-on sales. In addition to creating visual interest, your square-footage costs may be cheaper if you go vertical.
Create Lighting Contrasts
Do you still have all-bright lighting throughout the store? Then it's time to make things more exciting and profitable by introducing some contrasts with your ambient lighting.
For example, if you like your fluorescents because they are inexpensive to operate and don't generate much heat, use coated daylight bulbs to reduce light in transition areas and stay with the traditional cool-white bulbs to pull people into product areas.
However, if you have incandescent and tungsten-halogen lights, you need to start phasing them out. While they are useful in areas where customers need to see the true color of merchandise like paint, they generate heat and are expensive. Plus, the older incandescent bulbs are becoming harder to find when it's time to purchase new ones.
If you can invest in new fixtures, some of the newer LED light fixtures operate cooler and consume less electricity. Although the up-front cost is higher, experts say you can easily recoup the cost with energy savings and increased product sales. Plus, your energy-conscious customers will appreciate you being more "green."
Track lighting and multi-lamps are popular choices because lights can be aimed downward onto tables, counters and displays. But remember: All spotlight settings must have a purpose. You'll need to re-aim the lights every time you re-merchandise your displays.
As with all the elements in your store, select the design, color and positions of light fixtures that will appeal to your customers. For example, a couple strings of Primal Lite specialty sets with race car and flag lights could boost sales in one store and turn customers off in another.
Refurbish Indoor Signage
Signs are critical to good sales, yet they are often overlooked in a store makeover.
A great, inexpensive way to highlight merchandise is to add shelf talkers and wobblers like "Sale," "The Winner's Secret" and "Crew Chief's Choice." But, don't overdo them. More signs are not always better.
Another inexpensive change: Grab a computer-savvy member of your team and create some distinctive, logoed informational signs. Often called a "silent salesperson," make these signs for products or product lines your customers typically have questions about. For example, heat ranges of spark plugs or drill sizes to use with fasteners.
You can also create informational signs for departments. For example, for wheels, you could make signs with the starting price for each category in relation to size, or make a complete price chart. To keep the signs looking good, laminate them and attach them firmly to shelving posts.
Revamping the store's department signs requires dollars and professional help, but its impact might be worth the splurge. For example, use your accent color and a small graphic on major department signs and complementary gondola/aisle markers and you do more than help customers locate product. You have eye-catching design elements throughout the store.
While your stock of core racing products brings in traffic and pays the overhead, making a few changes will help boost your profits.
In order to pump some quick energy into your sales, be prepared to make a few changes. One of those changes should involve developing a plan that will encourage you to prioritize what needs to be done while deciding how much you can afford to spend.

text: In the style sheet in use for these forums, I find it almost impossible to distinquish between visited and unvisited links. As a result I keep opening the same threads that I've already read. I finally changed from author mode to user mode (at least I'm using Opera, so this is trivial), but then I lose a lot of the layout. Could you fix the style sheet so that visited and unvisited are much more distinct, or (better) leave it to the user's preferences?

Casino-ology 2
Bill Zender's Casino-ology took the art of casino management to new levels by introducing superior mathematical concepts to improve efficiencies within a casino operation. But after struggling through one of the worst financial periods in history, the world has changed. It's imperative that casino managers be reactive to evolving markets and Casino-ology 2 addresses all the issues relevant to a challenging gaming environment.
In Casino-ology 2, Zender again confronts the gaming-world's status quo, bringing to light new strategies for harnessing evolving technologies, adapting to evolving customer profiles and psychologies, and improving game protection in light of the emergence of more sophisticated advantage players and cheats.
Among the topics covered are the effects of buy-in churn on hold percentage; the side-bet explosion; effective dealer scheduling; banking games in California; money lending and the Asian customer; the merits of using pre-shuffled playing cards, as well as matchplay and promotional-chip program; the cell-phone and card-counter conundrum; and an updated look at the player-error rate in blackjack.
Zender brings it all together in the service of the singular goal of further refining the art of casino management.

It takes a heaping helping of chutzpah to make a video of yourself driving a tractor spreading liquid cow manure and singing at the top of your voice a self-composed ditty, "Water and Poo," that details the benefits of the soupy slurry to your farm's forage crops.
Water and poo, water and poo, I'm gonna tell you how
we manage our water and poo, in an eco-friendly way,
yeah, that's how we like to play.Dairy farmers know how
to manage their water and poo.
It takes even more guts to put that video on the Internet for all the world to see and to comment on, which is just what Will Gilmer has done.
He and his father, David, operate Gilmer Dairy Farm, just across the Mississippi/Alabama state line at Sulligent, Ala., only 60 miles from their alma mater, Mississippi State University.
The "Water and Poo" video (Warning! You'll find the tune lodges in your brain, whether you want it to or not) and some 50 others (not all of them musical) portraying life on their dairy farm are only a part of his program of utilizing the Internet and social media to help foster the public's image of dairying specifically, and agriculture in general.
It includes the farm's website (http://www.gilmerdairyfarm.com), which has information about the farm, environmental stewardship, and animal care, a photo gallery of scenes around the farm, and links to his "The Dairyman's Blog," Facebook and Twitter, industry news, videos on YouTube, and to various farm organizations.
Video viewed over 33,000 times
On the day he spoke at the Mississippi State University Agricultural Economics Seminar, "Connecting farmers and consumers through social networks," the "Water and Poo" singing video on YouTube had been viewed more than 33,400 times.
Now, spreadin' slurry ain't a daily chore, we've got a big tank in which we keep it stored
until we can apply it on our land in accordance with a nutrient management plan…
"Today, most Americans are three or four generations away from the farm," Gilmer says. "They're dependent on a reliable supply of food products, but have no firsthand knowledge of where that food comes from or how it's produced.
"There are so many myths and falsehoods being circulated about animal agriculture — the chemicals we use are harmful, the antibiotics we use are tainting our meat, milk, and poultry, animal wastes are fouling our water, and on and on.
"My utilization of social media allows me to share my love of dairying and of agriculture with a much broader audience than just those in my local community and those in the farm organizations I belong to.
"The Internet and social media allow us an unparalleled opportunity to reach more people, on a wider scale, than just locally. These media remove the barriers of time and distance and allow us a far broader dialogue with the consumer public."
Gilmer, who grew up on the farm that was being run by his father and his uncle, says that when he enrolled at Mississippi State University, "I didn't really expect I'd be coming back o the farm after I got a degree. I knew I could come back, but I just didn't see dairying as my future.
"Later, when my uncle decided to get out of the family business, I asked my father if there was an opportunity for me to come back to the farm. Somewhere along the way, I realized I was missing farming — that it was what I really wanted to do. Dad told me he had made provisions for such an eventuality, but had made it a point to never encourage me to choose farming, that if I did, he wanted it to be 100 percent my choice.
"I've been back 10 years now. It's a demanding routine — we milk at 3 a.m. and 1 p.m. every day of the year — and then there are all the related chores, planting and harvesting hay and forages, looking after the animals, and taking care of the business end of the operation.
"In 10 years, there are only eight nights that Dad and I have been away from the farm at the same time. But, I love it and now I couldn't imagine doing anything else."
By attending and being active in farm organizations, including the chairmanship of the American Farm Bureau Federation's Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee, Gilmer says he became more aware of, and concerned about, the public's lack of knowledge about modern agriculture — and the many misconceptions promulgated by anti-agriculture groups.
"I talked with my parents about what we could do, in some way, as small farmers concerned about these unfavorable impressions of agriculture, to help create a more positive image of what we're doing as dairy farmers specifically, but also to help consumers better understand what American farmers are doing to keep our people fed and clothed and to support a thriving export sector.
"More and more, people are asking questions about their food and about food safety, and I thought we could use the communications opportunities of the Internet and social media to help them fill in the blanks."
Gilmer says he has participated in focus groups, where hidden cameras are recording consumers as they're asked about their impressions of agriculture and farmers, and "it's eye-opening to see firsthand how little the average person knows about agriculture and the production of their food.
"A lot of people have a romanticized image of agriculture as it existed a half-century or more ago, and think that we could return to that kind of agriculture and still produce enough to feed the world.
Telling agriculture's side of the story
"We can either sit back and let others tell agriculture's story — often not the whole story, and often with a very unfavorable slant — or we can use these tools to tell our story ourselves. If anti-agriculture organizations are putting out inaccurate information that is creating misconceptions about farming, we have only ourselves to blame if we don't provide our side of the story."
Now when it's warm, we put it on bermudagrass, and when it cools off, other crops start growin' fast.
Fescue and oats are two that benefit the most from the nutrients found in our water and poo.
He started the Gilmer Dairy Farm website in 2003 and since then has added Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube posts, and his blog.
There are now 250 million Facebook users, Gilmer notes. "If Facebook were a country, it would be one of the world's largest. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube are all communication tools that are increasingly being used in agriculture.
"I use Facebook mainly to try and make people feel good about dairying, with photos of cows contentedly grazing, pasture and farm scenes, etc.
"Facebook allows me to do instant updates, either from my computer or from my smart phone on the fly. I have about 1,900 people who 'like' my Facebook posts.
"I use Twitter a lot — it's a lot more immediate, a lot more personal, and allows more opportunity for a bit of 'personality' in very short messages. I can also upload photos and when I go to farm meetings I can provide frequent tweets about things I hear, people I talk with, etc."
For the more hot button issues, Gilmer says, he will generally use his blog, which he has been doing since 2007. "It's a way to keep people engaged, to let them know what's going on in our farming operation, and gives me an opportunity to expand on issues that may be in the news regarding dairying, food safety, legislation, etc.
"It allows more room for a full explanation of the message I'm trying to get across, as well as an opportunity for conversation and exchange of ideas and opinions, particularly on such issues as agricultural subsidies.
"If it's something controversial, where the viewer might say 'You're biased because you're a farmer,' I'll take the approach, 'Yes, I'm a farmer, but here are some of the facts based on my experience, on proven research, etc.'
"In the animal sector, there is a lot of concern by the public about 'factory farming', treatment of animals, and other issues that are being raised by animal rights organizations. "For those of us in livestock agriculture, our animals are our No. 1 asset. If we don't care for them properly, we won't be in business very long. And it's the same with row crops — if a farmer doesn't take care of the soil and water, his primary assets, he won't make good crops and he won't be in business very long. These are the points I make."
Many times, Gilmer says, the way agriculture is portrayed in the mainstream media is troubling.
"Unfortunately, in agriculture as in any business, there are people who do bad things, or there are incidents that cause people to be concerned, such as food contamination. It's up to us, when these things happen, to step forward and say that we condemn the bad farmers, that 99.99 percent of farmers aren't like that.
"We need to let the public know that we're concerned about food safety, that there is a difference in treating farm animals humanely and treating them as if they're human.
Helping connect with consumers
"The more we do to insure that our role in society is as transparent as possible, the better, and social media can play a key role in accomplishing this, allowing us not only to connect with consumers, but to reach the broadest possible audience.
"You'd better believe that the anti-agriculture organizations are social media experts — they are masters at using these media to paint an unfavorable picture of agriculture ... and to raise millions of dollars."
You might be thinkin', man that stuff really must stink,
but the odor is not what you think. We manage it well,
which makes it very hard to tell with your nose
that we even have any water and poo.
If as the adage goes that a picture is worth a thousand words, Gilmer says "a video is worth 10,000." A simple video camera, or a smart phone with video capability, "can let people see a live action account of what we're doing on the farm.
"In doing a video, I try to think of what will interest people about the various operations on our farm. Occasionally, I'll do something off the wall or wacky. Since environmental stewardship is a big issue and a lot of people see animal manure as a problem, I thought, 'How can I portray manure as an asset?'
"So, I came up with the idea of the singing video, 'Water and Poo,' as a humorous way to tell about nutrient management. I figured I'd be lucky if a couple of hundred people viewed it, but it has had thousands of views.
"I've done a few other singing videos, about milk prices, hay production, and other aspects of our farm operation. They're usually in humorous vein — but they always have a message of positive reinforcement about the practice I'm spotlighting.
"I've done about 50 videos and most are pretty straightforward, about farming operations such as harvesting silage corn, or about ag issues, legislation, etc.
"Although I use all these media — website, blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube — I share the same message, in different form, across all the platforms. The videos are great for drawing people to our website and to follow us on Twitter."
The YouTube "Water and Poo" video concludes thusly:
Hi, I'm Will Gilmer of Gilmer Dairy Farm. To learn more about how we care for our environment, our animals, and our community, visit www.gilmerdairyfarm.com. Thank you for your continued support of America's dairy farm families — and have a dairy good day.

It"s another Bachelor break-up: Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl have called it quits.
"Yes vienna and I have split. It"s been 5 weeks now. I can"t fake it anymore. I will always love, be there for her, and wish her the best," Kahl, 27, posted to Twitter on Sunday.
"@KaseyRKahl will always be my best friend, but yes we have split. No idea what the future holds for us but we will always remain friends," Girardi, 25, posted to her account.
Girardi won Jake Pavelka"s season of The Bachelor but the engagement didn"t last long and the couple split in an ugly and highly publicized break-up.
Kahl wooed Ali Fedotowsky on The Bachelorette with song, and his catch phrase, "guard and protect your heart," ended up tattooed on his wrist. Fedotowsky was unimpressed.
Girardi and Kahl didn"t give up on love or on reality TV. On Bachelor Pad, Kahl and Girardi quickly became the power couple to beat, though they lost the competition to on-again-off-again couple Holly Durst and Michael Stagliano in the show"s finale.


text: Bob Utterback: Prepare for 1970s Market Volatility February 13, 2014 11:00 PM Tweet Bob Utterback discusses commodity market trends during a presentation at the 2014 National Farm Machinery Show. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email While corn and soybean prices are lower than they have been in years, the market won't be resting on its laurels over the next decade, says Farm Journal economist Bob Utterback. "It's going to be a relatively active market," said Utterback during a presentation at the 2014 National Farm Machinery Show. Unlike the 1980s, which saw a very flat period, the market in years to come will be more akin to that of the 1970s. Seasonals will remain positive heading into the May-June timeframe. In the long term, though, the burden of proof will be on the bulls. Weather volatility will characterize the period, which likely will bottom out in the 2022-23 timeframe. "When prices get low, what do we do? We get more aggressive because we need the same amount of revenue dollars," Utterback notes. "I am a supply bear. I think this is the bear's biggest strength. He knows how producers domestically and globally are going to operate. We are not going to curtail our operational practices." Click here for complete coverage of the 2014 National Farm Machinery Show. And don't miss these three free Farm Journal Media events featuring Greg "Machinery Pete" Peterson, Bob Utterback and more! With that in mind, Utterback shared several observations about the commodities market and how producers can act to maximize profitability. Corn: Utterback fears there's a lot of old-crop corn in the bin. For producers in that situation, now is probably not the time to sell old-crop corn. At the same time, don't carry inventory much into the June-July timeframe. Realize that old-crop corn probably won't rise above $4.75. Looking aheaIf trendline corn yields exceed 158 by the June-July period, prices likely will trend lower. Sell May 2015 corn at $4.70+ but defend in July 2014 calls from April to July, he says. If stocks build with a large amount of unpriced producer inventory, expect extensive cash risk in the last half of 2014. Soybeans: The highs appear to be in for beans, Utterback says, so producers should be selling their old crop. On the new-crop front, sell aggressively above $11.20 to $11.60, and expect fall lows of $9.50 with wide basis. Brazil will remain a strong exporter of beans Wheat: This crop is seasonally bearish, Utterback says. He advises selling $6 wheat right now. Hogs: High summer prices are expected this year, but Utterback's outlook is long-term bearish heading into 2015. Come August of this year, producers will need to begin thinking like corn growers in anticipation of narrower margins. Cattle: Prices will remain strong well into August. Back to news

Hello, i'm new to this forum.
I'm looking for a way to block from moving my Leaf with a relais (that i will command via an App).
The problem is that, obviously, the Leaf does not have a start motor like a fuel car or something similar...
When you are inside and you press the start button, the car can move. The problem is that the relais must be powered when the car is on, otherwise it will consume the service battery too fast.
So i was thinking of how I could stop the car from moving after the Start button is pressed. The only thing i found was the gear. I could drive the gear with my relais, so the workflow should be: I push the Start Button, the relais will be powered and it will open the circuit, so the gear is not powered, my app says the relais can close the circuit, and the gear will be powered.
I don't know if this is a good solution, i could not think of anything else...
Now the problem is that i asked to my Nissan dealer to know which is the wire i need to intercept, with no success and i could not find any online resource about the connectors and wires... I don't want to cut all wires to find the one i'm looking for... anyone of you maybe can help me?
The Nissan is a 2016 model, if it can help
