Holt Renfrew, Canada’s Neiman Marcus, is owned by the second wealthiest family in Canada.  We’re talking about billionaires here – the big leagues.  What I can’t fathom is this family owns, supports and develops Holt Renfrew and the chain doesn’t even have an online buying environment.

Besides the initial investment of creating the online buying site function, the items sell themselves.  The internet does not require shopkeepers, but perhaps only a few online support people.  It also provides a reference to the shop’s entire stock; for browsing, for curiosity and possibly for free promotion; blogs and the like.

As a style writer, I have not once featured an item I chose from Holt Renfrew on this website.  This site is likely a speck of dust to the Westons, but imagine thousands of specks – they could create a hell of a dust ball of potential business for Holt’s… and for free.

Holt Renfrew and the Westons, let’s get on with it!
