Bricks & Mortar, how old fashioned.

While completing a new menu layout for a client of mine, I realized how awesome it would be to have my own bricks and mortar business. It may not be the smartest investment one can make, but just the marketing advantage you have with a physical location is crazy. In-store ads, menu creation, promotions, and management structures are quite appealing to me. Some people like pets, I like business.

Web businesses have such low costs compared actual locations. They can also lead to a position where I simply watch profits being dropped into my bank account. Nothing beats a job where I have to do very little to get paid. I do like social media and networking. Unfortunately it is taking over face to face communication industry, but we are able to connect and stay connected so much easier. Once I have enough cash flow, I'll build my building. Until then, web based it is!

The social media class is getting closer and closer! This is definitely a great opportunity for any business owners if they want higher sales. I've never heard anyone object to more money, just a thought. I do want to share this story with you today.

     I was passing by an old convenience store I went in as a kid. It was re-opened so I figured I would stop in and see how things were going. I was thoroughly disappointed. With a lack in inventory, a messy entrance, and an overall cluttered area I asked how his business was going. "Not well," he replied. "Why, what do you know?" I told him my background in marketing and it seemed like a light just clicked on. He was interested, welcoming, and overall tired of working for nothing. I applaud any business owners who are welcoming of help. It takes a lot to step back and let someone give you a hand.
