The Demise of Small Business

The Top 10 Marketing Responses Of Failing Small Business Owners

There is no end to what small businesses are facing right now, especially if they’re unwilling to see what is coming.  

Perhaps I don’t need to spell it out but here is what they are saying. 

1. I can’t work on any marketing right now because we’re just trying to keep the lights on. 
2. If my email is not working, I’ll have to check it later. 
3. We’re going to keep doing what we’ve done for the past 8 years because it’s the image we want to keep.  
4. Call me when this whole pandemic is over and I’ll know more of what I need to do.
5. We are so busy right now, I can’t see us needing any more business.
6. We’re not interested in seeing what people are reviewing about us.
7. Our agency handles all of that and I’m sure they know about what you’re talking about. 
8. We just can’t afford it right now.
9. We’re not interested in reviews because our business relies completely on referrals.
10. We don’t do any of that - we just fix doors.

Stay tuned as I will be posting my thoughts as I work on the front line of working with small business owners. The good, the bad and the ugly here: https://claudianicole.com/journal
