How Tokyobike Synced Their Storefronts and Doubled Sales February 1, 2020 bizadmin With shopping moving online, it’s not unusual to see brick-and-mortar retailers moving into the eCommerce space. But not all brands have been able to move online and boast a 100% increase in sales in less than six months. Meet tokyobike. The independent bicycle company was founded in 2002 in the quiet suburb of Yanaka, Japan, and first made its way to the United States in 2014. The company is now headquartered in Los Angeles, which is where we sat down with Juliana Di Simone, tokyobike’s Partner in America, to discuss their journey to selling online. The ethos behind the in-store experience The tokyobike brand is inspired by the clean, minimalist aesthetic of Japanese design and pays homage to the “Tokyo Slow” movement—an emphasis on comfort over speed and a nod to simpler times. Their stores are designed to reflect this sentiment. With the open space, subdued colors, and thoughtfully-curated merchandising, customers are invited to explore the store at their leisure. Buying a bicycle is very personal, explains Juliana. She adds, “[They’ve] traditionally been purchased in person. You want to see them, touch them, ride them. See if what you’re buying will actually fit your needs.” In fact, tokyobike’s commitment to their in-store experience is so integral to the brand’s ethos that the founders originally had no intention of selling online—they didn’t think they’d be able to mirror the experience or the high-touch service. Up until 2015, tokyobike operated as a brick-and-mortar, exclusively. But when their staff could no longer support the influx of foot traffic in their bustling SoHo shop in New York City, they knew they had to offer an alternative for their customers. Compounding this shift was a challenge specific to its flagship product: tokyobike’s purchase journey was longer than is typical for most direct-to-consumer brands. At $900 apiece, their bicycles aren’t an impulse buy. Bikes are a long-term investment and often an expression of one’s personal taste, so people take their time exploring their options before making a purchase. This wasn’t a problem for local shoppers, who could return to the store once they’d made up their mind. But out-of-towners and tourists didn’t have the same luxury. Instead, they would typically test-ride a few bikes in-store, come across one they loved, only to return home without an easy way to finalize their purchase. All roads lead to eCommerce [abc] At first, tokyobike’s sales associates tried to solve this problem by writing names and emails on the back of business cards for shoppers to take home. This allowed tokybike’s staff to then follow up with an invoice and credit card authorization form via email and gave would-be customers the chance to buy the product. But this manual process was time-consuming, fraught with error, and introduced the joys of paperwork into what should be an exciting purchase. “When you’re a small team, time really matters…If your team is taken away from things that grow the business to do small, laborious things, you need to find tools that make it easier…If you’re looking to scale, you really have to find platforms and systems that can help you do those things,” Juliana tells us. Launching an online store was the clear next step for the retailer. But not all platforms are created equal, and in three years, the cracks were beginning to show. “We knew there were things we wanted to do that we couldn’t, and that’s mostly because of the way we fulfill our orders and the way we wanted the online experience to be. We thought somewhere in there we were probably losing customers,” says Juliana. They needed something more robust. According to Juliana, the ease of Shopify’s mobile POS system was a big selling point. tokyobike Taking Shopify for a test ride In early 2019, just six months after moving onto Shopify, online sales would surpass tokyobike’s brick-and-mortar sales, with the physical locations increasingly being used for test-rides only. For Juliana, the synergy between their storefronts—and the role tokyobike’s physical spaces would come to play in driving online sales—was an unexpected, but a welcome shift in the company’s business model. And the relationship is a two-way street. Juliana shares a typical scenario where a customer buys a bike online and opts to pick it up in-store. Once they’re in the store, they might realize they need a lock, and a helmet, and maybe a bell. All of a sudden, an online purchase has driven in-store sales, too. The idea that each channel should complement and influence the other to nurture customers through the sales cycle is the foundation of a unified commerce strategy, and ultimately, the goal for every retailer. Switching from Lightspeed to Shopify POS The journey toward a harmonized online and offline experience wasn’t without hiccups. “Until recently, we’ve always had different point-of-sales and a different platform for our online store,” admits Juliana. [abc] When they switched to Shopify’s eCommerce solution, they decided to switch their Lightspeed point-of-sale (POS) systems to Shopify POS, as well. The separate systems were creating a messy experience—from minor frustrations, like not being able to redeem gift cards across sales channels, to bigger issues, like the inability to see inventory across locations. Switching to Shopify’s POS allowed tokyobike to sync their online store with their physical stores, and manage the entire business from one backend. “There are very few steps with Shopify. It’s a one-click kind of thing.” “We integrated everything, it just made more sense logistically to have everything in the same place. Especially because sometimes, we’ll have customers who are interested in things that we only have in-store. So if you need a new set of wheels, we don’t have those on the website…but we can easily email a cart to a customer with items that are only in the store and they can complete that purchase as if it was an online sale,” explains Juliana. For multi-location retailers like tokyobike, having an up-to-date inventory that could be moved on demand, with flexible payment and fulfillment options is often a turning point. When asked about her staff’s experience with Shopify’s retail technology, Juliana says the platform’s ease-of-use was a big selling point. “In terms of our team, I think everyone thought it was way easier. The transition was actually really, really easy for us. There are very few steps with Shopify. It’s a one-click kind of thing.” Free Webinar: Introduction to Shopify POS Get a step-by-step demo of Shopify POS and hear success stories from fast-growing retailers. The team has also benefited from a faster checkout experience since moving to Shopify POS. “Our transaction times are way quicker now. From the moment you decide which bicycle you’re going to purchase, to actually inserting your card or tapping your phone, is a much shorter period of time than it used to be before,” adds Juliana. Beyond ease-of-use, Shopify’s unified platform allowed tokyobike to provide its customers with a consistently delightful experience across every touchpoint, staying true to the brand’s origins, and their commitment to white-glove service. The future of commerce is unified It’s impossible to think of retail as separate…this idea of unified retail is the future. Today, customers can begin and complete their journey with tokyobike wherever and whenever they want. “It’s impossible to think of retail as separate. You have to be able to bring the physical into the digital, and the digital into the physical. From an experience perspective, but also in terms of systems. Connecting the two is important…this idea of unified retail is the future,” says Juliana. The company continues to use its brick-and-mortar locations as a showroom for its products—an opportunity to get in front of new customers who are intrigued by their beautiful storefronts, and to give potential customers the option of experiencing their unique products in-person before ordering online. For the folks who aren’t ready to purchase on the spot, tokyobike’s sales associates can keep the conversation going by re-engaging these shoppers online with cart reminders and e-gift card offers. Across the board, this strategy has helped them boost sales and scale across the United States. Since switching over to Shopify, tokyobike doubled their online sales in under six months, and shrunk their sales cycle from 14-30 days, down to a single week. Their brick-and-mortar presence is growing too, with 13 flagship locations around the world, including stores in London, Berlin, Bangkok, and Mexico City. You could say they’re moving at a pretty good clip. Photography courtesy of tokyobike [abc]
God Is For You, Not Against You January 29, 2020 bizadmin What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 GOD IS FOR YOU, NOT AGAINST YOU Are you faced with challenges in your life right now? Are you having marital problems and financial woes? Maybe your child is going astray, or an old illness has returned. What then will you say to all these things? Do you know what God wants you to say? He wants you to say, “If God is for me, who can be against me?” If you knew that the President or the Prime Minister was for you, you might believe that everything will be okay. But you have an even better backing! The Bible tells us that God, the Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, is for you! What problem can fasten its grip on you when the Almighty God is for you? Can the devil come successfully against you with God on your side?

Look to your heavenly Father, instead. Because He is for you at this present moment, you can be confident that He will help you and provide for you. Beloved, God sent His Son to die for you. And Jesus gave you a blood-bought right to an abundant life full of meaning and purpose! He gave you a blood-bought right to walk in divine health all the days of your life! He gave you a blood-bought right to His supply even when the economy goes down! You have all these things not because you deserve them, but because Jesus shed His blood and gave you the right to have them. All these blessings are yours today because God is for you! And if God is for you, who can be against you!
Bad Boys for Life the 2020 Movie, Starring Will Smith January 28, 2020 bizadmin Set 17 years after the last film in 2020, Miami detective Marcus Burnett, who just witnessed the birth of his grandson, tells his partner Mike Lowrey his intentions to retire, much to Mike’s chagrin. After a celebration party, Mike is shot by an assassin named Armando. Armando had recently helped stage the prison escape of his mother Isabel Aretas. Armando was sent by Isabel to assassinate all of those responsible, including Mike, for the demise of the Aretas cartel run by her and her husband Benito, who was sent to prison and subsequently died. Despite being told to kill Mike last, Armando targeted him first as he deemed him the biggest threat to their plans. Armando proceeds over the next six months to assassinate everyone else responsible while Mike makes a near-full recovery. Mike demands Marcus’s help to catch the assassin, but Marcus decides to go into retirement, as after Mike’s near death experience Marcus prayed to God that if Mike survives he will never turn to violence again. This causes a fall out between the two friends. [abc] Despite orders from Captain Howard, Mike learns the identity of the arms dealer who sold the ammunition used in his assassination attempt, Booker Grassie. Howard reluctantly brings Mike as a consultant into the tech-driven Advanced Miami Metro Operations (AMMO), led by Mike’s ex-girlfriend Rita. The team goes to a business deal Grassie is holding to obtain evidence to bring him in, but when Mike sees that the buyers are attempting to kill Grassie, Mike attempts but fails to save him. Soon after, Marcus receives a call from an old informant, Carver Remy, warning him that everyone who had protected him had been assassinated and asks for help. Marcus picks up Mike to go to Carver’s home only to see him thrown out and killed. Mike fights Armando and seems to recognize his eyes before Armando escapes. Sometime later, Captain Howard tells Mike it may be time for him to retire as well before he gets himself killed. Howard is subsequently killed by Armando with a sniper rifle. After the captain’s funeral, Marcus decides to help Mike out one last time. Marcus enlists the help of AMMO to track down Grassie’s accountant to find who was sold the ammunition. Marcus identifies the key suspect as Lorenzo “Zway-Lo” Rodriguez, someone Marcus used to coach basketball. They crash a birthday party for Zway-Lo, but Zway-Lo flees. Mike, Marcus, and AMMO give chase but are halted by Armando on a helicopter over the bridge. Armando kills Zway-Lo to get to Mike. Before trying to kill him, Armando says “Hasta el fuego.” Marcus, however, stops Armando with gunfire and Mike jumps into the river to escape. As AMMO is about to be shut down due to their recent failure, Mike explains to Marcus in private that Armando may be his biological son: Before he and Marcus were partners, he was recruited by Captain Howard out of the academy to infiltrate the Aretas cartel. Being deep undercover, he had an affair with Isabel, which led to the birth of Armando as Benito was sterile, and they used to say “Hasta el fuego” to each other. Despite promising to flee with her, Mike ultimately had her arrested as well as Benito knowing how dangerous she was. All of the previous victims killed by Armando were working on the same case. Mike decides to go to Mexico City to confront her alone, but Marcus and AMMO accompany him despite his protests. At the Hidalgo Palace, Mike scolds Isabel for not telling Armando the truth about his father and for raising him to be an assassin. A shootout occurs between AMMO and Isabel’s henchmen which ends when Marcus shoots the pilot of Isabel’s getaway helicopter, causing it to crash into the building setting it ablaze. While Marcus briefly incapacitates Isabel, Mike confronts Armando to try and convince him he is his father. Armando refuses to believe him until Mike insists that Isabel confirm it. Isabel shoots at Mike but strikes Armando instead, after which Rita shoots and kills Isabel. They all escape the burning building, where Mike tells Armando he will have to pay for his crimes, but Mike will be there for him. Sometime later, Rita is named the new police captain while Mike and Marcus, having decided to come out of retirement, are placed in charge of AMMO. Mike later visits a remorseful Armando in prison requesting his help on a new case in exchange for reducing his prison sentence. [abc]
How to Choose the Perfect Name for Your Store January 27, 2020 bizadmin [abc] Coming up with a name for your online business might seem like a pretty simple task, but trust us, it isn’t always easy. In fact, it can take days to come up with a name for your business. That’s because most entrepreneurs have high expectations for their businesses. They want their business name to be instantly recognizable, and to leave a lasting memory on their shoppers. Essentially, they want their business name to be perfect. And perfection is rarely simple. But, seriously, choosing a name for your business is a lot easier when you’ve got some tips & tricks from experienced entrepreneurs who can guide you in the right direction. And that’s exactly why we’ve created this post – we’re going to show you exactly how to come up with the perfect name for your store. So grab your thinking hat and read through our list of the most important things to consider when you’re choosing a name for your online business. Let’s dive in. [abc] What Goes Into a Great Business Name? When it comes to naming your business, we can’t stress one thing enough; there isn’t an exact science or formula that you can use to come up with a great name. It’s a creative process, so you need to give yourself some time to think. That said, there are some pretty important points that you should take into consideration when you’re at the drawing board that’ll help you to avoid choosing a bad business name. And believe us, you can choose a bad business name. So, let’s take a look at how you can make sure that you’re choosing a stellar name for your business. Keep it Simple and Straightforward [abc] Generally speaking, when it comes to starting a business keeping things simple and straightforward is key. And that’s true when it comes to naming your business, too. Why? Well, when you’re looking for a memorable name for your business, you need to make it easy for people to remember. That’s especially true when you consider that it normally takes up to seven impressions – that’s seven times when shoppers see or interact with a brand – to actually remember your business name. That’s quite a lot. That’d be seven Facebook ads you’d need to run or seven Instagram posts. And, using a long, or complex business name in the first place is going to make it even tougher for your audience to recognize your brand in the first place. So, it’s no surprise that the names of some of the biggest brands in the world are usually just one word long. They keep it simple because they want to be remembered. Choose a Future Proof Name When you’re starting your business, you’re probably thinking about hitting milestones like launching your store, getting your first sale, or making your first $1,000. Now, there’s no doubt that those are pretty big, impressive milestones for somebody who is just starting their business. But, the idea is that you’ll hopefully be hitting much bigger milestones than that eventually – think $1,000+ in sales every single month. And that’s why you need to think big when you’re naming your business. You need to think of a business name that’ll work in the future as you grow, too. You could opt for a name like “Dog Bowl Emporium” – that might work while you’re running a small business. But, you could also opt for something like “Premium Pet Supplies” that’d offer you a business name that you can grow into. You might want to add more products to your business in the future as it grows, so keep your options open when you’re choosing a name for your business. Choose a Name That’s Available When you’re looking for a name for your business, it’s essential that you check your ideas are available. And when we say available, we’re talking about domain names specifically. We always recommend trying to secure the .com domain name for your brand – especially if you’re targeting your products to an English-speaking audience. Why? It’s simple, ‘.com’ domains are trusted so much more by the typical shopper. It’s because of the ‘.com’ domain is familiar. It’s been around since the start of the Internet, and most professional brands use this type of domain as well. If you’re looking for a tool to check domain names, you can do it on Shopify. You can search for domain names, check how much they cost, and buy/install them to your store too. And don’t forget to check that you can find social media handles related to your business name, too. Always try to secure a Facebook and Instagram account to go with your ‘.com’ domain too. BONUS: We recommend checking your business name on the U.S. Patent Searcher as well, it’s another great resource that you can use to check if your business name has already been taken by another company. Convey Meaning [abc] Once you’ve got your creative juices flowing, we recommend trying to convey meaning with your business name. Now, we’re not saying that you need to go super abstract with your business name, because most people probably won’t make the connection if you do that. Seriously, think about it. Most people don’t think about the Greek goddess of victory when they see the Nike logo, even though that’s the inspiration for the companies name. Equally, you can bet the average person doesn’t look at Nivea skin cream and think “Oh that’s white because it’s named after the Latin word Niveus, which means ‘snow white’”. We’re not saying you should dive down the rabbit hole of trying to find a deep meaning for your business name. But, try not to be super generic. Try to avoid business names like “Andrew’s Sports Store”. Instead, you could use words that are related to working out, like “Power Sports” or “Reflex Apparel”. These business names simply have more meaning – they evoke more emotion, which is going to go a long way in helping shoppers to remember your business. 5 Examples of Great Business Names Okay, now that we’ve gone through our top tips for coming up with a name for your business, it’s time to highlight some of our favorite store names. These are real-world examples of companies who’ve nailed their store names and hit on the points that we mentioned above. We’ll dive into the meanings behind these store names, so you can get a better idea of how successful brands think about naming their businesses. Bulletproof One of the first things that you see when you land on Bulletproof ’s homepage is “Health Upgrades”. And that copy is totally aligned with their brand message – Bulletproof sells products that are designed to make you feel bulletproof. They blend butter into their best-selling coffee products, which are meant to work to elongate the effects of their products and help you to avoid the usual crash that comes from caffeine. Essentially, they’re selling coffee products that are “more than your average latte.” And we love their business name. It’s simple yet effective. Every shopper has a clear idea of what they can expect from this business from the get-go, and it’s memorable too because most shoppers typically don’t associate the word ‘bulletproof’ with coffee. They’ve been able to branch out from their initial offerings of coffee too and expand into other health supplements, which underlines the beauty of coming up with a future proof business name. Colourpop Ultra successful makeup brand, Colourpop, landed on a fantastic name for their business. The LA-based beauty outfit is offering high-quality makeup products to shoppers who are looking to add a ‘pop of color’ to their routine at drug store prices. They’ve got a simple, straightforward business name that is undoubtedly futureproofed – under the Colourpop umbrella they could move into clothing or jewelry as well, and it’s fit perfectly into their brand. It’s a fun, playful business name, too, which is aligned with what their audience prefers. KITH Lifestyle brand KITH has quite the backstory for their business name. According to the founder of KITH, Ronnie Fieg, the business name originates from the term “Kith and Kin”, which is an old saying that means “Friends and Family”. And, according to Ronnie, he always wanted to build products for people like his friends, so he dropped the “Kin” part and named his business “Kith”. All in all, KITH is a unique business name with a lot of thought behind it. It’s clear, simple to remember, and works well to convey meaning. SuitSupply SuitSupply is a tailoring brand that prides itself on being “straight to the point”, which is definitely evident in their business name. This business name does a fantastic job of conveying exactly what they’re selling – suits. We love that this brand has used alliteration in their business name. Both of the words in their name start with the same letter, and this is a clever marketing tactic that can actually help people to remember your brand. If you can add some alliteration to your brand name, don’t hesitate – it can really work well, as shown by SuitSupply. Gymshark If you’re looking for inspiration when you’re naming your own fitness brand, Gymshark is a great example. The successful clothing & apparel brand came up with their name by cleverly blending two common words together. First off they used ‘Gym’, which is the bread and butter of their business. They exclusively create fitness apparel targeted towards gym-goers. [abc] Then, they added ‘Shark’, which is an animal that is often associated with power, and strength. Honestly, it’s a pretty simple name, but it’s also quite unique. Its simplicity is key here though – it’s super easy to remember, which is exactly what you want when you’re starting a new brand. Still, Stuck? Use a Business Name Generator If you’re still struggling to come up with a name for your business, worry not.

God Is Not On A Sin Hunt January 25, 2020 bizadmin For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thessalonians 5:9 GOD IS NOT ON A SIN HUNT When you think of Sodom and Gomorrah, what comes to your mind? God’s wrath and fiery judgment? The truth is that God was not all out to judge the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. He was not on a sin hunt. He was, in fact, on a righteousness hunt! This is evident because if God was on a sin hunt, He would not have allowed anyone to stop Him. But we know that He let Abraham in on what He was about to do and even allowed Abraham to entreat Him. Abraham asked God if He would destroy Sodom if He could find 50 righteous people there. God’s reply was, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes” (Genesis 18:26). Abraham then asked God if He would destroy the city if there were only 45…40…30…or 10 righteous. And each time, God’s reply was that He would spare the place for the sake of the righteous. Abraham stopped at 10. If he had gone down to just one righteous man, I believe God’s reply would have been the same because He was on a righteousness hunt. [abc] Now, if God was not all out to destroy then, how much more is today when God has already judged our sins in the body of His Son? At the cross, Jesus exhausted all of God’s fiery judgments until there was no more fire of God’s wrath left for us! Today, God is not judging us for our sins because He has found the righteousness of the one Man—Christ Jesus. So do not let anyone tell you that God judges you for your sins and punishes you with cancer, car accidents, business failures or brokenness. God would be unjust if He punished the same sins twice—in Jesus’ body and then in yours. Beloved, God is not out to judge you but bless you today, not because you deserve it, but because Jesus was judged and punished in your place! [abc]
Best Bass Fishing Rod 2020 January 22, 2020 bizadmin Every bass angler comes with an arsenal of bass fishing lures in theOrher tackle box. Many different shapes, sizes, colors, and kinds could make the choice a hard one for that novice. Heck, choosing the right lure could be a challenge for any pro on occasions, too. This is a help guide to a few of the lures offered at sports stores everywhere. Want to know more about the best bass fishing rod 2020? Visit our website for more information. Bear in mind that simply seeing a tackle shop and asking the clerk isn’t the best method to select a lure. You have to measure the place you’re fishing and be aware of water type, temperature, weed beds, native marine existence and the like. Utilizing a plastic leech where leeches aren’t native won’t produce. Topwater “surface” lures Fundamental essentials ones that stay on the top from the water and you may really visit a strike. Some seem like minnows or baitfish while others look like insects or bugs. Some might make noise or simply mimic swimming prey. Spinnerbaits These lures are created to be cast and retrieved at a moderate speed. Metal blades mounted on it spin and attract the bass on the visual level. Soft plastics This really is most likely the largest group of bass fishing lure anywhere. These can be created to appear like worms, lizards, snakes or perhaps small baitfish. The vast color selection is unbelievable. Soft plastics can be purchased Texas rigged (with hooks already inside them) or plain (no hooks). Go swimming baits [abc] Go swimming baits are soft plastic bass fishing lures that can seem like small prey fish. They have tails that “wave” because they are retrieved. Usually, swimmers are retrieved like plugs either at a steady pace or introduced to some full stop, then retrieved again at a high speed. Spoons Spoon lures seem like within a spoon, and so the name. They’re metal, possess a color side along with a plain, shiny side. Like a spoon is retrieved, it spins and attracts the bass visually. Jigs This can be a simple one, folks. Jigs are weighted hooks which are normally coupled with a gentle plastic earthworm. The load causes the hook to fall towards the bottom, therefore the angler must jerk, or jig, the rod tip to really make it move. Done correctly, it’ll resemble a hurt prey fish. More often than not, the bass hit these around the fall. This can be a particularly deadly bass fishing lure choice. Plugs Plugs can also be known as crankbaits. Typically made from either wood or hard plastic, they are made to relocate a particular way. Many will resemble small fish or any other prey appealing to bass. These are called floaters, shallow divers or deep divers. I believe you are able to evaluate which individuals terms mean without an excessive amount of discussion, right? Theoretically, any lure can establish fish, because of the proper conditions and lure selection. Bass are specifically territorial and aggressive, same goes with an attack almost any factor that moves with the water near them. This is also true of products that appear to be just like a meal for them. The best advice would be to help make your bass fishing lure seem like a tasty treat and you’ll eat catch dinner your evening! To know more, visit reviewfishinggear.com for more information. [abc]
Best Puppy Food for Pit Bulls 2020 January 22, 2020 bizadmin Some exasperated dog proprietors have requested me, “The way you would you train a pitbull to not bite?” My response is always, “That will depend.” It will likely be simpler to obtain your pitbull to prevent biting if he’s a puppy. Regrettably, in case your pitbull has passed the puppy stage, breaking him from the biting habit could be more challenging. But it is possible. Want to know more about the best puppy food for pit bulls 2020? Visit our website for more information. However, we have to be obvious in several things. Whenever you say “bite” would you mean your pitbull bites people from viciousness? Or would you mean your pitbull puppy nips people once they walk by? Pointless is ever acceptable though. Bitting Because of Teething Teething for any pitbull puppy begins when his teeth begin to grow in. The teething process is very painful so that your baby pitbull is looking for something difficult on which to munch to be able to alleviate the discomfort. Alternatively, your child pitbull will endeavor to chomp in your hands, finger, or other parts of the body to ease his discomfort. Should you continue motive alone, it might be simple to excuse his behavior. However, you have to nix the behavior rapidly before it might be a routine.
