- A + A (June 24): China asked foreign business chambers in Hong Kong how to revive the isolated financial hub’s economy in unprecedented listening sessions weeks before new leader John Lee takes office, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. The Liaison Office, Beijing’s main body overseeing Hong Kong, sent invitations to commerce heads across the city in early June to seek their opinions on the challenges of operating in Hong Kong and mainland China, the people said. They said the chambers responded with one overriding message: End quarantine altogether as soon as possible. The people, who represent different chambers, said the meetings marked a major shift from previous exchanges in which officials spoke through translators, with the Chinese side appearing to show genuine interest in understanding the pain points of foreign businesses. The mainland officials present mainly listened while other staff took notes, the people said, making it unclear … [Read more...] about China said to have asked foreign business leaders how to revive HK in rare move

Recognizing the 50 Most Influential CMOs in the World By Seth Matlins , Managing Director, Forbes CMO Network Additional reporting by Diane Brady , Emmy Lucas , Olivia Peluso , Lauren Debter , Isabel Lord , Katherine Dunn T wo hundred years before it was first used as a verb, “influence” was a noun denoting the stars’ ability to affect human lives and destinies. Today, we consider “influence” less astrologically and more practically, focusing on the chief marketers who wield it to shape the character and destinies of the brands and businesses they help steward. The link between marketing and influence has always been inextricable. After all, a chief marketer’s job is about nothing more than it is the influencing of attitudes and behaviors in … [Read more...] about The Forbes World’s Most Influential CMOs List: 2022

Choice Market’s new store in Golden Triangle just got a little sweeter. Nearly two years after BusinessDen first reported on it, the local convenience store chain has opened its fourth location on the ground floor of the Parq on Speer apartment building at 909 Bannock St. The 5,000-square-foot space, which opened Feb. 26, also features the fourth location of High Point Creamery, an ice cream shop that already operates in RiNo, Berkeley and Hilltop. “There are around 3,000 units either built or planned in the three-to-four-block radius, and it’s one of the highest-density residential neighborhoods in Denver,” said Choice Market CEO Mike Fogarty. “But it lacks a lot of amenities and services. So, between that, Denver Health and the hospital caddy-corner from us, I’m guessing this will be a very successful store.” Choice Market’s newest and largest store sells groceries, local craft beer, hot and cold grab-and-go meals, snacks, cold-pressed juices, soups, breakfast burritos … [Read more...] about Choice Market opens high-tech store featuring an ice cream shop inside

MailChimp CMO Tom Klein isn't keen on calling it a " marketing campaign" but admits the online store he and his team created isn't really about selling products created by the company's own customers, either. Instead, he says it was an idea intended to walk in the customer's shoes as well as gain understanding and empathy regarding the pain points involved in setting up an e-commerce shop. Somebody--a MailChimp employee named "Meg"--would then write about it in a quirky new blog intended to help customers and would-be customers avoid common startup pitfalls. Regardless of what anyone wants to call it, it's an experiment which comes off as fresh and fun, if not a bit difficult to fathom. MailChimp Has a Store? MailChimp is an online email marketing solution that offers users things like email templates, custom forms and analytics to track results. So, why would such a company need a store? Check out one of Meg's blurbs: [W]e can't build a … [Read more...] about Why This Unique Marketing Campaign May Be the Smartest

Not too long ago, buying a mattress with a click instead of a trip to a store was virtually unheard of. But now that easy delivery processes and generous return policies have helped online mattress retailers gain traction with consumers, entrepreneurs have taken notice. No fewer than six startups are vying to become the online mattress retailer of choice. The latest entrant is Helix Sleep , which three Wharton grads launched this week. Helix joins Casper (one of Inc.'s 30 Under 30 startups), Tuft and Needle, Leesa, Saatva, and Novosbed in what is quickly becoming a very crowded market. Here's what's fueling the online mattress boom. Brick-and-Mortar Straw Men Why would three Wharton grads enter this crowded field? In addition to all of the high-profile startups, you have heavyweight incumbents (mattress makers like Tempur Sealy and retailers like Mattress Firm) to deal with. For Helix, which has raised $800,000 from friends and family, the … [Read more...] about What’s Fueling the Boom in Online Mattress Startups?

Editor's note: Casper is one of Inc.'s 2015 30 Under 30 . This year's readers' choice winner is ThinkLite . How would you describe the act of buying a mattress at a store? T. Luke Sherwin, co-founder and creative director of e-commerce mattress startup Casper, calls it "millions of square feet dedicated to a false premise." More specifically: "That if you try a bed for two minutes while you're awake, you'll find the best long-term mattress for you." He's omitting other potential drawbacks, such as feeling swamped by a vast array of products and prices, and worrying about logistics of delivery, setup, and returns. Casper's business model is all about alleviating these pain points. For example, Casper sells only a single brand--its own--in six different sizes, ranging in price from $500 to $950. Casper designs and makes the mattresses itself, with final assembly taking place in a plant outside Atlanta. And the company sells directly to consumers through its … [Read more...] about How This Mattress Startup Made $20 Million in 10 Months
