Can a Small Business Compete with China
My wood flooring business competes directly with China
Cheap imported wood flooring is flooding the U.S.
Most people just want cheap and convenient - at this moment.
So…..
I think LOCAL, use what I have right here that fills a local need.
I have to Be SMART, Flexible, Fast
I tell my local story every chance I get
Educating the consumer is a constant effort
I cut out all the middlemen/brokers/shippers/wholesalers
I sell finished wood products direct to the retail customer
I Install my wood products right in my customer’s home
Service after the sale keeps satisfied customers
I sell Solid, Natural, Unique, Custom-made works of wood art
A few people seem to appreciate the value of using local wood.
