I live in Oregon, the home of Fred Meyer one-stop shopping. This company (now owned by Kroger) hit the national news last week all because an employee marked the wrong box while ordering the new REM album “Accelerate” – and that’s what he got…..vinyl record albums rather than CD’s. The warehouse shipped the albums out and some of the stores put them on the shelves. The rest is history, and you know it. What happened before is happening again – albums sold and sold well. Fred Meyer is now really testing the market. They are placing 20 different albums in 60 stores. These albums range from The Beatles “Abbey Road” to the new Raconteurs 180 gram vinyl. The response thus far has been what some of us expected – they are selling. The public loves records, always has and always will.
Being a child of the ’60’s, seeing this resurgence thrills me as I reminisce my way through decades of what is now musical history. Both digital downloads and CD sales are experiencing a down turn. Shoppers want to buy an experience. Buying vinyl provides that sensory experience: sound, touch and feel and seeing that black vinyl spiining on the turntable.
Visit my store Gosinta for vintage vinyl and wax plus a great selection of new Crosley turntables.
As we think (deep thoughts, of course – LOL) about what is most important in keeping us alive, an air supply better be real close to the top of the list. Without a constant supply of air their is no lung action, oxygen in the blood, etc., etc.
When the English guitarist and vocalist Graham Russell and Australian vocalist Russell Hitchcock met in May 1975, the first day of rehearsal for the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar, they isntantly became friends and formed a five-member group namedhttp Air Supply later that year. Their 1980 album Lost in Love contained three top five US singles. They followed it up the following year with “The One That You Love.” The title song released as a single hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The ablum also contained two other top ten hits. Their third album, Now and Forever, released in 1982 featured another top ten hit and two top 40 hits. It was evident that this “Air Supply” was close to the top of everyone’s list!
Taking this a little deeper, let’s take a look at the air supply in our business. It is vital to success. The breathing in of new and fresh products, ideas, sources and marketing will bring about success and satisfaction. Take that step back, breathe deeply and come back renewed and refreshed. Clean off your desk, make a list, read a blog/newsletter and take some action. Your business will thank you!
For all your vinyl record and electronic needs, gosinta my store, you’ll never visit ‘nother store again!
Leaving the world of rock concerts and Broadway shows behind was a huge shock to my system. What do you do after years of ringing ears,high stress, no two days off together, long hours,and cranky people? For me, it was get up in the morning, put my suit coat over my flannel nightgown and learn to buy and sell on eBay. After over 5 years of playing around, watching sales rise and fall and never feeling really confident of what I was doing, I finally came across Janelle Elms – emarketing expert, mentor and spirited entrepreneur. Her On Line Success Institute newsletters and classes wooed me into choosing success. She birthed OSI RockStars in October 2007. Finally, after playing around on eBay, my business was destined to join the ranks of many others who credit Janelle, OSI Rocks Stars and the over 100 hours of classes for taking the chance on becoming successful.
After becoming a Rock Star, it was time to take off the suit coat… roll up those flannel nightgown sleeves and get down to building my business. Build a business it is. So, what do you do when you go to the mall? Do you shop in just one store? Of course not! The whole design of a shopping mall is to go into one store then another and another. Thus, the opening of my eBay store tagline – ‘visit my store, you’ll never gosinta ‘nother store
again!’ There are still many things around the house and I add new and used items often, but you can’t take the music away from the Girl! I am passionate about the preservation of music history. I spend hours each week rescuing pieces of history from destruction in land fills. You can find right at 1,000 vinyl record albums and 78 rpm wax and vinyl records awaiting adoption by just the right individual. Records are just as much a part of musical history as the music itself.
Go now, Gosinta awaits your choices – it’s painless, doesn’t take 18 years to raise and a college education to mature!!
