As far as we’re concerned, it’s time for a return to basics in the business world. Maybe we need to step back from supporting the “Bigger is Better” just because they tell us it’s a little cheaper. Everyone loves a good deal – let’s just remember that vitally important parts of a good deal go way beyond price paid.Quality. Service. Honor. Integrity. Reliability.

Do business with a small business. People who remember your name…and you will be glad you did. You may even keep at it until you really recall the way things used to be. We need small businesses because besides giving us Service, in addition to looking us in the eye…they give us choices. Think about it when you go to a “Superstore” and can’t find what you’re looking for. Why ? Most of their competitors have been killed off or acquired. 15 companies to buy from has now become 3. Those 3 decide what will be available for you to buy. Period. The 3 could not give you all those old choices even if they wanted to….not any more than the best Pitcher, Catcher and Center Fielder could get 3 outs without the other 6 players. Can’t happen.

Buy from a small business….you might even find out that their prices are just as good to boot.

Think about it.
