1. Autonomy and diversity driving new growth, opportunity and competition that
The layout and offerings at national chains will be
identical whether you live in the mountains or at the
beach. Big box stores follow a consistent marketing
strategy and look the same regardless of where they
are located. That familiarity can come at the cost of
variety. On the other hand, an independent business
offers the products and services that are reflective of
the customers and the community they serve.
2. Local hiring strategy
Certain big box retailers will hire local residents, but
hiring policies may push for promoting from within the
organization. This could mean relocating an employee
rather than bringing in someone from the community
who may be more in tune with local sensibilities. Small
businesses may be more inclined to hire residents
they know and keep hiring centralized to the local area
- something that keeps more resources and money in
the community.
3. Adaptability and change
Local businesses can move more quickly to respond
to economic factors that require change. Since they
are focused more on the needs of their customers
rather than stockholders, changes can be implement-
