But this theory applies to those who have enough capital to invest into a new place, one should not run out of resources to run their all stores for the sake of opening a new store, etc. There are always room for improvement in business, make sure you're improving on that first and creating a reputation and brand name for your business.

I agree that you must thoroughly conduct research and feasibility studies before venturing into business yourself. The economic crisis sure did a number for businesses today.

I just wanted to get back to you so say I believe the problem is fixed now - please update me if this occurs again. My apologies! I think the solutions for brick and mortar are along the lines of what David and Mark have commented - innovation and willingness to change/update are key! The ones who are going to suffer the most are the ones who remain stuck. Thanks to all for your comments - great discussion! Hi Jade,

As for the topic of your post, I'd also go for going online. Of the small businesses I know, the online ones are doing great at the moment, while the bricks 'n mortar ones are suffering.

Ways of working that were great 18 months ago are no way to survive now. It takes imagination and a great deal of listening to customers to make it work. Customers are saying different things now than they were before. Their questions are different, as are their requirements. Fascinating, extremely challenging, difficult, tiring but there are still rewards to be had. It’s an incredibly challenging time for many businesses right now.
