As online shopping grows, here’s one way small brick-and-mortar businesses can sustain success: By offering experiences impossible to replicate online. I saw this play out when I stumbled upon Two Chicks Quilting in Texas. Despite the rise of endless aisles of Etsy, this small shop has continued to thrive. Their secret? Turning shopping into human bonding. Here’s how they make “community” their competitive advantage. 1. Invest in customer relationships  The owners know every patron by name and provide personalized guidance tailored to their unique needs. Customers feel invested in the success of the biz. 2. Double down on niche expertise Positioned as specialists in quilting, they offer classes and education that back up their authority. Quilters turn to them first. 3. Cultivate a "welcoming place"  More than a store, they've created a welcoming gathering space driving foot traffic. Groups even coordinate annual retreats there. These strategies have built loyalty and resilience and enabled Two Chicks to become a main street staple. Small biz owners: Stitch together your own unique value. Not through transactions, but through connections. 

Pluro is approaching its fourth year in business. It's mental to think this was a business built on £200 websites for absolutely anyone 😂 Life was much simpler back then. There were no worries, no teams, just me, myself, and a laptop. Years one and two were plain sailing, but last year was very shit for us; we didn't grow, I was stressed all the time, and it all felt a bit pointless. I've never experienced hardship like that, but it's given me a kick up the backside. This year has been much better; numbers, headcount, and client tier are all progressing. After last year, I've been far more strategic about what we do while constantly evaluating myself. Hopefully, we can keep up the momentum this year! #shopify #shopifyplus #shopifyexperts #agencyowner

Oh, darling, let me tell you why supporting local businesses is the bee's knees! 🐝 Not only are you helping your community thrive, but you're also getting top-notch, unique products that you just can't find anywhere else. It's like shopping at a trendy boutique instead of a boring old chain store. #ShopLocal #SupportSmallBusiness When you support a local business, you're actually giving a high five to the hardworking individuals who pour their heart and soul into their craft. It's like giving a virtual hug to a small business owner every time you make a purchase. How sweet is that? 💕 Plus, you're ensuring that your money stays within your community, circulating and creating a ripple effect of prosperity. It's like being a financial superhero, but with a fabulous sense of style. #SmallBusinessLove #BuyLocal And let's not forget about the stellar customer service you'll receive from a local business. When was the last time you walked into a chain store and were greeted like a long-lost friend? Probably never. Local businesses thrive on building relationships with their customers, ensuring that you feel like a VIP every time you walk through the door. It's like having your own personal shopping concierge at your beck and call. #CustomerServiceGoals #SupportLocal But the benefits don't stop there, honey. When you support local businesses, you're also helping to preserve the unique character and charm of your community. Imagine a world where every street corner looks the same - how dull would that be? By shopping locally, you're preserving the diversity and vibrancy that makes your neighborhood stand out from the rest. It's like being a trendsetter in a sea of copycats. #LocalFlavor #CommunityPride So, next time you're itching to splurge on something fabulous, remember to look local first. Not only will you be supporting your community and small business owners, but you'll also be treating yourself to a one-of-a-kind shopping experience. It's a win-win, darling. 💁♀️ #ShopTilYouDrop #SupportLocalBusinesses

Operating a retail business without an online presence is impossible. I’m sure there are some legacy shops that are sustained by a strong brand established before the internet. But any new retail business must have an online presence, if not occupy multiple virtual environments (e.g. social media, online marketing, online shopping, etc.) We started Verde Haven with a singular focus on our brick and mortar store. We were relatively comfortable establishing an Instagram profile, and we learned through trial and error how to publish and sell some of our products online. Then I created our page on LinkedIn. Now, I’m trying to introduce some form of shopping/checkout/POS through Instagram and Facebook, and I think that process runs through an app called Shop . . . . And then we have to figure out how to ship our products. Full transparency, we’re overwhelmed. But we’re not sure we can sustain Verde Haven without operating in the digital world. We’ll keep learning. And, thankfully, we have a store full of plants that bring peace and joy through all the stress. Bring life to your office with the perfect plant.
