Save your environmental economic cycle

This is right and I agree with your prepositions of supporting our local business especially tye ones around us.
I've been an advocate of supporting local businesses and I've done this by trying to patronize the goods and services of friends around me and I always feel fulfied after doing this and I don't ever regret this, I always tell my friends to do same because by so doing, we could all help each other grow.
I've also heard of people talk about price slash for goods online but I still ask them if they also consider the cost of delivery?
I'm not against online shopping but it doesn't make sense buying outside when your neighborhood has same product.

some online merchants are giving free shipping vouchers, discounts or cashbacks, hence, some people are getting hooked in online shopping. with the financial crisis, some people are really into buying cheaper products. some will go to their central market rather than buying from their neighbourhood which sells more expensive items. we can't blame people for looking for more cheaper alternative routes.

And this is without a doubt a problem, I think the majority of the people can realize that if given the choice it would be better for their local economy to buy the products that are being offered by the people that live there, however due to the inflation we have been experimenting people are short on cash, so if they can save a little bit on their purchases then they are going to take that option, otherwise it would be impossible for them to pay their bills, which as we know they have become more expensive during the last year.

It's true that now everything is completely online, even just buying flowers online.  How can people not be tempted by these services, you just have to choose which one to buy and then pay, even now there is a cod (cash on delivery) feature that makes it easier for buyers to pay.  But the drawback is, maybe we can be deceived by goods that don't come as you expect.  therefore we must be able to distinguish which ones to buy online and in person.  Besides that, the advantages that you get when shopping directly are that you can immediately see the goods' texture, material, color, etc.

If you are a person who has money to shop for daily needs, I suggest you buy from merchants around you instead of shopping online whose stores are far from your place. This must be done to turn the wheels of the economy in your neighbourhood and save them from bankruptcy, at least you give them space to live.

It doesn't work like that. I can't buy from a store in my neighborhood just because they're in my neighborhood. It's good to support local business, I agree but the recession is affecting everybody. If there's an online store that gives me a better offer I'll take it.

I'm a digital marketer and I've helped stores in neighborhood create online presence. I educate them on the advantages of taking their business online. I see this as my own way of helping businesses in my neighborhood. Some actually want to put their business online but don't know how to while some just don't want to (for various reasons). I will be doing more educating this year too and I think that's what we should do. It's a digital world and if you want to stay alive as a business you have to move with the current.

Receiving better and cheaper offers on online shops for the things we need is very normal and common for everyone, even though it looks bad for the local business people around us. But that can at least help us as customers who are saving money in difficult conditions, because local business people also won't want to help us when we are having difficulties. So there is no need to pay attention to things like that because business people are looking for profits and they are also very aware of business competition in this world.

What you are doing is extraordinary because some people who are still in business and want their business to continue smoothly clearly have to keep up with the times at this time, in other words, they cannot go against the flow if they want to stay alive by running their business. So don't mind those who still have reasons to refuse your offer or invitation to be better, because you just need to focus more on those who want to listen to you for this or for better changes.

And who is promoting their goods / products, is there any kind of advertising, or how does it work for you? For many people who are not familiar with online sales, this can be a very difficult moment, because they do not understand how to do it right.

For some, spending on advertising may become unacceptable, or they may need to increase the cost of their products to make it profitable. In any case, you are doing a good job, people need to be helped to sell through the Internet, this is the future and more and more users are looking for goods online every day.

Okay, maybe most people complain about conventional stores because the prices offered are higher than the prices offered by online stores, it's natural for you to be in a situation like now, economic turmoil occurred in various industrial sectors and was accompanied by inflation. definitely looking for the best price to save money in the current circumstances.
After I read the book a few days ago, it turned out that it is normal for a business to be disrupted by new innovations and if for business people to be unable to balance or adapt to changing times.

It's true, the stores in my area all sell at a higher price than the online stores, and we all try to save as much as we can, so it's difficult to support the stores close to home. We are also in financial difficulty, how can we help someone, and if we were in that situation, I don't think they would help us either.
Those grocery stores should change to catch up with the trend, or else they will soon be eliminated, that's the law of business. No one can help them except themselves.

We live in the province, so online stores are much more expensive because we have to pay for shipping, but local stores are much cheaper, which is why we mostly buy it directly because we can see the actual product, unlike online, but there are some products that are not available, so we have to buy it online. But it is better to support local products as first, it can boost your own economy, and second, you can help locals with their products.

I live in an area that can be called remote but actually has the opposite story from you.
Maybe for food items and daily needs it is slower and shipping costs are also a bit of a hassle but for secondary needs I think online shops are better especially looking at some of the ecomers now that seem to be competing for a better position lots of people always make deliveries with free shipping there.

[Finestream]

It's mostly about moral.

Customers and suppliers has a different goal, so they both will have a conflict. A customer will want the best product with the lowest price, while a supplier will want to get a income with the lowest cost. You can't blame if there's a customer don't want to buy from retailers since they don't have a lot money and want to use their money to invest or other thing.

Actually those retailers need to lower their price if they want to compete against a big company.

Helping others to let their business stay longer is really good, but how can you extend your help if you are also struggling budgeting your funds? So you have to buy items in their lowest price possible, as long as they’re not expired and as long as the brand is good enough. Although not in general, but most of the small store owners are also overpricing their goods that’s why people would never want to buy from them, instead just order online so they can still save some money that can be used to buy other items too.

Hi, friends.

We are currently in a chaotic phase of global economic uncertainty, everywhere in the world is almost similar to this situation in terms of economy, energy scarcity, food scarcity and many others. but that's not what will be discussed with friends here.

A few days ago I was walking around the housing complex, and I noticed that a lot of grocery stores and other needs (conventional/retailers) had gone bankrupt, maybe this happened because prices were soaring even worse, and people prefer to buy from online stores instead of buying from neighbours, which causes the economy to slow down is undeniably this is the impact of the global economic chaos and technological advances.

If you are a person who has money to shop for daily needs, I suggest you buy from merchants around you instead of shopping online whose stores are far from your place. This must be done to turn the wheels of the economy in your neighbourhood and save them from bankruptcy, at least you give them space to live.

I don’t think people will just settle on buying from retail stores most of the time because obviously, it’s not helping them to save. Even people with money, they are mostly buying from big companies so they can maximize stocking some goods for future use and that will save not just money but time and effort too. Although online buying is also the trend right now, but that is how the pandemic has taught us to just stay at home and order online, since the items are cheaper in prices too.

This variation differs based on location. In my own area retail stores are much cheaper than online stores, but the only disadvantage with retail stores is limited variety of goods. Online stores are more expensive because shipping fee is always included, but they are many alternative options to chose from. In my area online stores are majorly affiliated and so many affiliates sell their product on a particular store at their own price making it more expensive than retail store.

I agree, it's just not possible because I could buy some stuff as little as half the price, even less if it's clothing when I am shopping online. The clothing store near me sells a basic shirt for 39.99 for example, and the online shop sells it for as cheap as 5.99, and usually for 9.99, tell me that difference doesn't bother you and I won't believe you.

I have bought 5-6 shirts recently that's why it was my example and the shirts that came to me which was so cheap, turned out out to be good quality as well, not like it is a terrible thing, it's a basic black shirt and that's it, nothing more and it was still high quality. That's why there is no way I would support local and stop online shopping.

Right. It’s not that customers will adjust just because they are our neighborhood, the store owner alone should also initiate ways so he can cope up with the competition in business. Or he can also sell online using his items, but most likely in a cheaper price too as most of online items are not totally costly. However, if there are options too that we can help them, that would be great, but for now everyone is affected with this inflation, so we should always be responsible for our own survival.

During the pandemic, I also saw many businesses go out of business because of it, in various places, in various businesses. And thankfully now, conditions are getting better and many more businesses are starting to run again with more leverage.

Related to this, I have several considerations, between agreeing and not. To agree, because by buying daily needs at shops near our house, we can simultaneously help maintain the continuity of their business, even if it's small. But unfortunately, there may be several factors why someone sometimes chooses to shop at stores that are farther away, bigger, or online than shopping at home. sometimes it's a matter of many different prices, completeness, and also convenience in shopping. However, if the price does not differ much and is complete and convenient for shopping at a store near you, why not?

They won’t be building business in the first place if they are not capable to sustain their sales despite of the competition found online. So they should set initiatives for that, otherwise they will end up in bankruptcy and forced to close their stores. The economic downturn we have at the moment is only temporary, but if you won’t take actions on this, probably you will be doom forever.

in the area where I live, the government continues to buy goods from neighboring stalls so that the wheels of the economy between residents continue to run. Besides that, he also recommends buying local products made by the nation's children, whose quality is no less than foreign production. that way economic growth will develop.

it's true as you said, sometimes the price is very much different from online stores. however, we will get our own satisfaction if we shop directly at offline stores.

While online stores in my area are willing to offer discounts or free shipping, there is no reason for me to buy from more expensive places. It's the local shops that need to change, they can't count on the help of a few neighbors, which doesn't make their business better. That's not the solution.

Hmmm I think it will depends on how convenient the things are for you. It's not all because of the money, we all know that time is more precious and expensive than money, I admit that I want to buy goods to those local merchants here in our place but the thing is it is an hour away from here where supermarket is near than that place. Also, some goods in here are cheaper than to those sellers we have enough money to buy but still we're in inflation we I'll choose what will fits us in the long run. When this inflation ended, I will surely support locals as well especially for fruits and vegetables.

Every buyer wants to buy goods at low prices and they will exclude whether the product is local goods or purchases online, you may be lucky to live in strategic locations near online stores and free shipping costs, but not all goods are available in online stores, so however we will still do traditional transactions with local shop. I think local shops/sellers should change their sales strategy to compete with online shops and maybe online driving services will help local traders to increase orders for goods delivered to buyers without having to leave the house.

[Genemind]

You can't blame people for being practical since it's really cheaper to order anything online nowadays. However, it's true that this affects some merchants since they will have lesser sales. Most online shops offer free shipping, or even offer their goods cheaper since they can get them directly from suppliers or they don't have to pay any rent for their shop. One of the biggest bookstores in our country is starting to close down its branches because of bankruptcy since most people choose to get their school/office supplies online than go to stores.

I think local shops/sellers should change their sales strategy to compete with online shops and maybe online driving services will help local traders to increase orders for goods delivered to buyers without having to leave the house.

I agree with this, they should start thinking of a way to compete with online sellers by letting people order goods online through their shop and also offer delivery services. This way they can somehow increase their sales or not lose any customers.
