These past six months have been challenging. As a retailer Im constantly forced to think of new and creative ideas to try to persuade my locals to buy from us, instead of the big box stores. It has been difficult to compete with constant 50-80% off sales all around me. The mentality of the consumer has changed. I focus so much time, energy, and money on getting the consumer in front of me that there is little left over for creativity in the store, and for my professional trade of interior design. We need to shift the mentality back to the community, and get people to support the local chain of command that filters the most money to our local residents, and families.
