How To Compete Against Big-Box Retailers By Phillip M. Perry So a big-box store is about to open in your town. What does the invasion of the monster retailer mean for your small business? Will your customers be lured away by lower prices? Will your employees abandon you for higher salaries? And how about your vendors: Will they undercut you by selling cheap to the big guy? The more you think about it the more nervous you get. And the more questions you have: How can you retain your foothold in the market when some huge corporation is spending tens of thousands of dollars on newspaper inserts and TV spots? Will you need to change the way you do business? And then there’s the question that’s so scary you may not share it with your employees or family: Will you have to close up shop and slink away? Certainly, many small retailers shut down when the warehouse stores hit town. Rest assured you can be an exception. You can survive and thrive against the big-box stores. This seminar shows you how.
