He had one job: deliver the bag to a masked stranger in downtown Calgary. Don't look inside.
A 60-second short film, shot on a phone. Wait for the ending.
@Shopify Keeping the answers accurate seems like the important part. Merchants change products, hours and policies all the time, so that information needs to stay current wherever customers ask.
@BigIdeas4SB Tax terms are a good example of language that can make a straightforward question unnecessarily difficult. Clear explanations save business owners a lot of back-and-forth.
@RestoBizCRFN The challenge for independent restaurants is finding the time and budget to respond while keeping the day-to-day operation running. Curious which of those shifts you think needs attention first.
@skypathstudio Curious if some airports produce noticeably better visual patterns than others when you map a full day of flights. LAX must make for an interesting one.
@SandwichMeng That's a big difference between knowing your numbers and running the business behind them. You can have a busy day, sell out, and still need to figure out where the margin went.
@RestaurantsCA Restaurants give a lot of people their first real experience dealing with customers, schedules and busy teams. That early work experience deserves more recognition.
@girdley A record sales year doesn't necessarily mean customers are becoming more attached to the brand. Curious how much of Puma's problem comes down to what made people choose it in the first place.
@smallbiztrends@Zoho The useful test is whether an owner can get a reliable answer without digging through three different reports. More automation only helps if the numbers are clear enough to act on.
@GetJobber Getting discovered is one part of it. The next test is whether the customer can go from finding the business to actually booking without another round of calls and forms.
@RetailCouncil That 62% figure is interesting. Good product photos can get someone interested, but being able to see and handle something in person still makes a difference.
@ServiceTitan Hearing about the trades from someone actually doing the work probably lands differently than another careers presentation. Getting more working owners in front of students seems worthwhile.
@shopownermag Car count alongside customer trends would be interesting to see. A shop can be busy and still have a very different business picture depending on which services are driving the work.
@canadian_sme@UPS Cleaning products are a tough category to stand out in. Interesting to see a Canadian brand putting attention on both performance and environmental impact.
@NextMoveSteve Winter commute time is something buyers should probably test before choosing a neighbourhood. A place can look close on a map and feel much farther once the roads get bad.
I almost never enjoy driving through Glenmore when it's busy lol, regardless of the time of year 😂
@WaitWell2 The work between booking and actually serving someone is easy to underestimate. Which has made the biggest difference for your customers: handling forms ahead of time or reducing incoming questions?
@CrystalGlassLTD A broken storefront window at 3 AM isn't something an owner can leave until morning. Having one number that actually gets answered matters.
@curranconnor A Saddledome farewell collection is a great fit for a Calgary-made brand. Were the designs built around specific moments from the arena's history?
