4 Reasons to support local businesses
When a customer is shopping around for a service company or product, many of them will debate whether to use a local small business or a large corporation. There are advantages, as well as disadvantages to both. For example, when purchasing appliances for your home you may want to go with well known brands. The reasoning behind using a larger company is that those brands have a long standing reputation and great product guarantees. There are also times you would use local small businesses. In todays blog post we will speak about the advantages of using a small business, when you need a service done in your home.

When you have the same person providing you with service, you build a relationship with the person. In turn you will get a better service out of it.
- Reaching upper management. When was the last time you had a complaint and you called up the company you were having a problem with? Did you speak to the president of the company, or just a customer service representative? Usually with small local service businesses, there is no chain of command. If you have a problem with any aspect of the service, you can get a call back from the owner within 24 hours. He/she will do whatever they can to solve your problem, because they truly care.
