Why Blog?
I absolutely love blogging for JCK magazine. The biggest advantage for me is that so many of you participate. I’ve grown up in the business and realized the industry has changed. It’s not like mom and dads in any way. I don’t do my accounting by hand, each employee has their own email address, punching in is digital, and the customer’s come in armed with knowledge from the internet (this is one of those changes that sometimes hurts more than it helps). I know my mom and dads way of doing things—but unfortunately I had to tweak and fine tune things to fit the modern age. Many of my ways are more cost effective and efficient but sometimes I just can’t help doing things the old-school way (mom and dads way). Many things, I’m learning as I go and I have so many questions regarding how others do it better. I want to do it better! I just wanted to thank you all for participating and commenting. Your comments have helped me grow.

I second Rob's opinion--JCK is thrilled and proud to have you as a
blogger, and how great it is that technology allows our jewelry
community to "get together" all the time instead of just at shows
and conventions. Keep up the terrific work!!!!

The fact that "ms" above bothered to post a comment means that the
blog works well in that they had to "waste their time" reading it
and then post a comment. Blogging takes very little time in this
short format, "ms" probably spends more time deleting their junk
e-mail than Shanu does writing this excellent blog!

you spend so much time blogging, I guess in this economy, you don't
have too much business, as is evident by how much time you spend
blogging. If you spent that same amount of time in your business,
you wouldn't need to ask the questions that you ask.

Your blog is great place for you and other retailers to exchange
ideas--something that's especially important during challenging
economic times. Keep up the great work!

Well, as an employee of JCK magazine (and blogger), I just want to
say that you are doing a great job and I'm proud my magazine has
this forum.
