The Public Is Ready to Buy at Specialty Stores--Online or Off

The LA Times reports that chain stores' sales jumed 5.1 % in what they call year-over-year rise for September. Small retailers could easily accomplish this!

  • With events.
  • By partnering with authors who supply their contact lists (read that future customer list!). 
  • By tailoring their in-store promotions to better entice customers to their stores. 

A Retailer’s Guide to Frugal In-Store Promotions: How To Increase Profits and Spit in the Eyes of Economic Downturns with Thrifty Events and Sales Techniques  will give you ideas or remind you of things you did once but have let slip.  I know. It's easy to get discouraged, but we can do it. The public is ready to buy. We just have to let them know it!
