Bad Quarter? Blame Returns. Then Blame Price of Gas.
Watching TV (a rarity for me) this past weekend, I was bombarded with stories about the price of gas. I had a premonition about all the upcoming quarterly reports from publishers and booksellers citing gas prices as the cause for lower results. It made me wonder — if gas prices keep rising and publishers and retailers STILL make money (a la Indigo), would that finally put the ‘gas excuse’ down for good? Yes I know — wishful thinking on two counts.
I know, I know, there is a relationship there somewhere. It is just so predictable.
