Canada Post

Well it has finally happened.
Canada Post will be phasing out door to door delivery and opting for community boxes.
For those who grew up with these boxes, most new sub-divisions it is not seen as an inconvenience.
For those of us who get door to door will  need to adapt to a new system.
There will  also be a price increase for stamps.
Is this progress? We can learn from this and not make the same mistakes.
What Canada Post did, is the same mistake that most governments and some companies do.
They do not analyse the changes and look to the future.
They believe and continue to believe that to resolve a situation is to raise prices for the product whether it be taxes, services or goods.
This only fuels greater deficits as fewer and fewer people can afford their goods or services.
In Canada Posts situation, people moved more and more to the internet and social media, which also forced retailers to follow suit.
The answer is not to raise prices, although it is unavoidable to a certain degree, but to become more efficient and find innovative ways to conduct yours business.
