  • Well it may be true JCP has not reached bottom..to begin its return up...I question more if Ron Johnsons plan will work.

    Big question...will the new advertising featuring gay and lesbian couples play well with the traditional JCP customer. I don't think it will.

  • JCP needed a change, probably to dramatic for the conservative and traditional consumer as per market reaction.......But a change! if RJ is to confirm how smart he is I´m sure he will make the turnaround by easing up his marketing strategies going forward !
