Needed some irrigation gear on Saturday, so I went to buy some.
Needless to say, the irrigation specialist, who no doubt could have helped me out was
closed, since their business hours are Mon-Fri 9am-5pm
The same people, if you asked them how business was? would say it's hard or slow or working harder for the $s than last year etc...
Well, my answer to all of these operators is that if they're dumb enough to hand their market share to Bunnings and alike, due to running their businesses like a hobby shop or a little side line, they deserve to go backwards.
Any business owner who has a shopfront in 2011, pays rent, insurance, security etc ..... and aren't open 7 days a week and haven't got an online side established, is half committed and their success or the lack of it is reflective of that.
