A friend of mine told me yesterday that he thought Google’s Chrome web browser was the most popular in the world. I didn’t believe him. I was convinced that Microsoft’s Internet Explorer was still No. 1. After all, that’s the one I have used almost exclusively since 1995 — cursing at it throughout the day for its multiple limitations and ability to lock up on certain websites.
Today, I checked several web resources and was stunned to discover that not only has Internet Explorer lost its perch on top of the browser battles, it is solidly in third place and plummeting like a meteor.

Gasoline engines were the motorhome industry standard for decades, and it was only about five years ago, in 2007, that diesel RV chassis sales surpassed their gasoline counterparts. And while it’s true that gasoline engines have seen some recent resurgence in the market, there are several reasons why diesel remains the better value and more oft-chosen option.
About a month ago, Good Sam Enterprises, which owns Camping World, announced a plan to buy back up to $4.95 million in bond notes. However, by the time the offer expired July 31, only $4,000 worth of bonds were presented to the company.
To me, that shows pretty good confidence in the direction and stability of the company. If someone was worried about losing money invested in Good Sam Enterprises, here was an opportunity to get out with all the investment intact.

(July 29, 2012) — Many businesses do not take the time to articulate the purpose or direction. As a result, everyone goes off in a different direction and the leader wonders why. Not setting the direction or purpose for your people gives results that can be counted on – to be different than what you wanted. How do we set the direction? How can we make our desired result clear? If we want followers to follow, leaders must lead. Seems to be an obvious first step. Not so fast!

I am absolutely certain that 300 million people will disagree with me on this, but I support the settlement reached last week that allows businesses to tack on a surcharge when using a credit card to make purchases.
The fees charged to businesses by Big Banks and the credit card industry are often repressive with some fees amounting to $35 on a $100 purchase, according to some retailers I have spoken with in recent years.
Business owners have been howling for years that it is patently unfair for a bank to collect up to 35 percent of a purchase just because the business owner accepts credit cards as a customer service convenience. I agree.

(July 19, 2012) — Tom King writes: As I talk with dealers around the country, I find most will comment on how good of a year they are having. This leads me to the question, “what means are you using to measure or determine sales are better?” Most will respond with the increase in unit sales and gross margins. Unfortunately this can lead to the misconception that your sales are doing as well as you might perceive.
With more customer traffic and the increase in RV buyers, the importance of understanding and tracking sales productivity may be more beneficial now than ever. As an industry there are benchmarks that can be used in regards to how effective a salesperson or sales department is with the prospects that visit your dealership.

I have heard similar stories for years about how advertising impacts directory ratings not only at Woodall’s but with other publications as well. I’m told that reducing the amount of advertising generally means the quality of bathroom and shower facilities are adjusted accordingly. Some of it may be more myth than reality.
If a campground owner reduces the amount spent on advertising in a particular year, should that negatively influence the park’s overall rating? Or, if a campground owner increases the amount spent on advertising, should he be entitled to a higher rating than he normally would receive simply because he bought the extra star for a few hundred dollars?
I pose these questions in an attempt to settle, once and for all, whether advertising does impact ratings. Campground owners, what say you?
