BUY LOCAL

THIS BLACK FRIDAY

When thinking about your local audio video retailer versus an American owned box store, the local companies are often perceived as David going up against the behemoth Goliath. Many times we even see local retailers go out of business because of fierce competition from box stores. However, local dealers can offer value to consumers that is rarely seen from box stores and provide them with better service. Local retailers have smaller infrastructures than their larger competitors. This can be a great advantage that translates into superior speed and agility when responding to requests for fast customer service. Unlike the giants, your local community retailer won’t try and impress customers with their size. Instead they will typically bend over backwards to provide first-rate customer service. After all, they have a personal interest in ensuring fast turnaround and excellent service, their livelihood depends on it. But that’s just one of the reasons why you may want to buy from a local retailer versus American owned box stores. Local retailers have brand flexibility and can represent more brands. This enables them to recommend product and solutions that most closely meet consumers real needs, pricing and objectives. They also maintain relationships with multiple suppliers. They’re free of any natural bias toward their own products, and will take special care of finding the right solution to best serve your needs. Purchasing your equipment from a local retailer can provide you with superior service and unbiased expertise, compared with box stores. And by choosing to give your business to local retailers, you’re also supporting your local economy. Money Stays Locally: According to the 3/50 project (www.the350project.net) For every $100 spent in a locally owned independent store, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home. It’s a feel good reason to shop local, and an economical one.
