The Home Depot


Bernie Marcus and Arther Blank were the entrepreneurs or home depot. Arther was fifteen when his father died so then his mother took over the Pharisee. Handy Dan was the first home depot. when they payed the paper for there add they never printed there add so barely any people showed but after a little while the word got out and became very busy. Bernie and Arther were the perfect balance for a team, there strengths were that they wanted what was best for the customers. Arther was the service and inspirational guy and Bernie was the competitive guy, Farrah was the guy that was good at marketing and Longone was great with finances. They trained there employees to think for themselves. The home depot was a great experience for people. They got a add on the radio which help them by pass almost bank robtsy. Depots service and pricing was the best so it wiped out most of the do it your self businesses. home depot grew faster than wall mart. They were crushing all there enemies except Lowe's. Home depot had a high accident rate so they did more training and shrink wrapping. They upgraded to a twenty first century company. Home depot was successful because it had great customer service and good low prices. What i have learnt from this company is that when the goings get tough that there is always a way to get back up.
