As business owners we need to fight back in every way possible. They may beat us on price, but we can beat them on everything else. We have the customer service, the attitude, the convenience, the ambiance. We have to convince the public that going to a big box isn't the way to get through hard times. It's time for true guerilla marketing!
As consumers we need to think twice before we shop exclusively with the big boxes. We need to introduce ourselves to other shopowners when we shop in their stores. They will return the favor. We need to be networking all the time.
What are your thoughts?
If you don't live or work here...you will.
