    • Circuit City: Finally, Schoonover Is Asked to Pursue Other Opportunities [view article]
      My ideas for a turnaround at CC.

      Circuit City is a great brand name. In my opinion the first thing that Mr. Marcum should to is to diversify the offerings. The local store here is way to big for what they have in it. TV's take way too much room. How many screens to you need showing the same thing at very close price points and features?

      There is also a need to replace your computer every 3 or 4 years. So for the right price people will buy from CC. I bought my newest computer there and am very satisfied with the price and equipment.

      They have a cellphone stand in the store. The new Google Android phone could draw people in to check it out. Have some operating models that people can actually play with instead of dead cellphones that you can not try out. They have wifi in the store why not use it to demo the cellphones that have decent browsers on wifi.

      If they don't have the Google phone they could always make some live iPod touches so people can try them out. The price point for the new iPod touch is very attractive. They could sell out the stock of touches in no time.

      We have two local Bestbuys. The sales personnel there drive me crazy by offering to help every minute of so. I only go to Bestbuy if they have something on sale I need and try my best to get in and out before the sales people harass me too much. CC doesn't have that problem. At least not here anyway.

      Cameras are so so. I think CC has too way many models at close price points and features. However cheap memory cards could get people into the store.

      We are starting into a recession. Price means everything at this point. People will still need electronic gadgets and will buy since they keep getting cheaper and better.

      Christmas is coming and hopefully the new management gets their act together quickly to meet this golden opportunity to turn the franchise around.

      I am a web developer and if I didn't diversify (with new web sites) I would be making only a fraction of what I am now. Competition comes and if you don't change to meet the circumstances you will end up in the dust heap.

    • Apple's Mysterious New Portable Device? [view article]
      It sure sounds like an iMac to me. A MobileMac. A device with much of the capabilites of a Mac but using the now legendary iPhone look and feel. Hence an iMac.
