Stag leaving CT

DutchV · Jun 10, 2019

CT is super expensive for everybody, so moving somewhere cheaper makes tons of sense. Stag can't easily raise the price of their product, but they can cut the cost to make it. Never mind the risk that the state will decide to sue them over "misuse". Let CT starve.

Good Riddance!!! If I had my way, the owners and every employee would be locked up for life without parole for all the innocent people that were murdered because of their guns. Guns have no place in a civilized society. #Warren/Harris2020 #HillaryisMYPresident #I'mStillWithHer #neverdrumpf #resist #impeach #LockHimUp #FreedomFromReligion #BanAllGuns

This is what happens when access to information is deliberately limited and manipulated for effect. Control information and you control opinion.

Allow me to translate.

The classical model is where the manufacturer does some basic marketing stuff, hits the trade shows, and deals with some warranty issues. But they leave the sales process up to the their distributors and/or retailers. They try to structure things so that the retailers can make enough money on selling their wares so they'll still have some wiggle room to help out with after-sale support, the odd warranty process handling, etc.

The "omni-channel" thing reflects the evolving of the marketplace beyond brick-and-mortar retailing, and the need for the manufacturer/brand to be more directly in the loop, interacting with end users. Through more appearances at events, no-foot-dragging-no-hiding real-time communication through half a dozen social media venues, etc. The brands that don't engage directly with end users, quickly and happily, will end up catching hell (see the recent "I now hate CZ" thread somewhere here) when they leave a communication vacuum over some glaring faux pas.

Some manufacturers have social media reps who appear not only on big channels like Facebook or Twitter, but also on smaller or highly-focused discussion forums. It keeps their finger on the pulse, but also buys huge amounts of good will if they play it right. Sounds like Stag is aware that they need to be a lot more engaged directly with their end user customers, and want you thinking more about buying their wares than about exactly how and through whom that has to happen. We're watching specialized manufacturing and sales change right before our eyes. Some brands are a lot slower to figure out what people now expect.

So for a company like Stag, taking the occasion of uprooting from gun-hating Connecticut to new digs is the perfect time to reevaluate their entire corporate distribution, supply chain, and communications/marketing model. It's a shame the CEO allowed that new MBA the consultants hired to write the press release in which he's "quoted," because it makes him sound like a dork.

That is the kind of core competency that drives corporate synergy through incentivizes for out-side-the-box thinking that moves the needle, going forward.

The appropriate conclusion after workshopping the decision among various constituencies and resources within the company.

That is just the kind of ping to amplify the band-width for the low hanging fruit!

Well, we'll just have to beta that through a focus group to leverage the insights from our blockchain-enabled AI initiative. It's the sort of platforming our key stakeholders expect.

Besides the snarky, clueless mayor, what was telling in that statement is that Stag said they're pulling out, and don't have a firm place yet!

Sounds more like a way to see which locations might reach out to them and offer up an aggressive zoning/tax package to attract their business.

Well done, Occam. “Stakeholders” is the multi-tool of corporate-speak.

Happiness is Connecticutius in your rear view mirror.

Apparently some other folks think the same way. And yeah, there will be a bidding war for their residence in other states.

Definitely a troll. I guess if that’s a well educated one I’d had to meet a lesser educated one. Doesn’t even know who the president is.

Though their CEO's statement is marinated in "fully integrated value chain"-isms and the like, the long and short of it is that Connecticut is now hostile to their line of work, and they're bugging out.

Claims of 2 Bachelor's degrees, 7 chilrens, and public assistance tells you all you need to know about that itch.

It’s those voluntary admissions that make me suspicious.
