Being a very small business I have to try to figure out ways of getting potential customers to choose me over the big box stores. What I am trying to do is make it a harder choice for them to purchase elsewhere without atleast giving me a shot.
So these are what I've been doing
I carry just about every line that the big guys carry, but I also try not to carry lines or brands that I have tested and feel they are not worth it, and I try to pass that info off to my customers
I will and have beat everybodies price, consistently
and now I have added payment plans through
PayPal Wells Fargo Affirm
Can you guys give me some input on what you think I need to add or change to try to obtain more sales? Or what is it that I don't do that would help me if I did?

I am so glad that you now have Paypal because I believe that this will certainly increase sales. Your prices are the very best and you have a great personality. All you guys who have done business (including me) with Frank know he will bend over backwards to please you.
Frank also gives superior service after the sale. I know people who have had great service from him. My advice to you Frank is to keep on doing what you do. A very happy customer, Lloyd

How about doing some listings on EBay. Seems a lot of the big guys are doing it. And share your opinions and test info in the products you try out. Maybe add that as a "expert opinion" section on your Website. Very happy dealing with you in the past, I think just need some more exposure. Good Luck

I don't know if it is possible at your price points, but I have opted on a couple of occasions to buy from a store with a money-back return policy, instead of just a trade option. When I'm positive I want something, I always get it from you. Having said this, I think I've only returned two items over the past 20 years! Guys, you can't beat Frank's prices, service and support!
