the ramblings of a chronic over thinker

if i opened an amazon link from our online store, would you shop there?

maybe it could be cool, no?

in a recent staff meeting we discussed products and incentives with a high emphasis on ‘selling’ of course. the number one complaint from my stylists is that sometimes the product they’re looking for isn’t on the shelf. it has been sold out, not ordered, or discontinued. this is time in the dialogue that the client says, ”i’ll just look on amazon.“

-ahem-

really? you’re just going to go straight to the online mall? not going to give us a chance to help you or make a sale?

the convenience is real. with a click of a button, you have curl cream and mousse heading to your address. i get it, but i also don’t get it. if our clients are going to just go to the online mall to get 10/10 hair, then should we even be selling OUR choice faves? let me be clear, if you are purchasing PROFESSIONAL GRADE PRODUCTS AND TOOLS on amazon, the price will be right, that’s is a fact. BUT (big but because it’s really important) whatever you purchased might not be what you thought you purchased. for the most part, the products, and tools sold here can do the job, it’s just not vetted the same and might be old or discontinued.

when you purchase from us, we are able to contact the seller and even get answers to your issues. kevin murphy and surface (2 of our featured product lines) have taken a lot of time and money to produce products for your hair, skin and nails that compliment and enhance your natural features. no trash ingredients are used, research is deployed to find better ingredients that out preform and last. every decision made is to put your hair, skin, and nails in the best position for optimal growth and development. i mean, you get what you pay for right?

last question, would you buy our stuff if it was on amazon? for real, let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Hey Boys...

Commonwealth Manufacturing = The Perfect Shirt.

Have you ever wondered if the perfect shirt exists? Well, we got you. Please do yourself a favor and go check out Commonwealth Mfg. Located in downtown Winnipeg at 290 McDermot Avenue, on the 4th floor. Take a walk through their work space and see exactly where the shirts are made and go ahead and try one on for size.

The detailed craftsmanship and precision put into these shirts are what makes them timeless. Invest in one of these and it’ll be with you for many memories. Not to mention the fact that you’ll look great.

This company is less focused on branding and pushing their product, but rather focused on creating the best possible product, selling itself. Each shirt is designed to be simple, classic and enduring, so you don’t have to worry about it going out of style.

Another cool thing about them is they recently announced a ‘Take-Back Program’. They will now be accepting any unwanted Commonwealth shirts, regardless of their condition in exchange for 15% off your next CMFG shirt. They will also fix these shirts up to offer them in a pre-owned shirt collection at reduced prices.

Have you tried these shirts? What are your thoughts?
