I am a small business owner, and I create all of my products. I do not buy wholesale, and then sell retail. I do however purchase a few wholesale items online, which I use to create my own product line.
Today I was having a discussion with another business owner. She brought up the fact that so many people are buying online, which is making it hard for small local businesses to stay in business.
She didn't like my response. I explained to her that all businesses in this day and age, need to sell their products online, in order to stay afloat. Most small business owners cannot stay in business without the help of the internet.
The fact is that the internet, electronics and computers, are not a fad as some people thought in the first years that they were created. Technology continues to grow, improve, and modernize the world. So to run a business in this Modern Age, one must move forward in progression along with our ever changing world.
