Would you buy a worse product just because it's local?

Nearly everything you buy is made in China. Why, exactly, would you be held to a different standard than every other company on earth?

I live in the far north, and I see this constantly. Companies aren't willing to work for our business because they feel they've got some 'right' to our money. They charge more money than anyone else, their selection is poor, their quality is shoddy (the local supermarket sold me a frozen fish meal that was rotten -- and never bothered taking the rest of the rotten food off the shelves after I complained). There's no redeeming feature about these businesses except they're local.

Well, they're not willing to work hard enough to get my business, why should I give them my money? I'll pay too much, I won't get what I want, and if I do get it, there's a chance it'll be in terrible shape.

The press will ask if it's an issue. Tell them the truth, don't sugar coat it, and watch the business lose their support very quickly.

Let them whine, money is too tight to spend it on an inferior product. Once the media learns of this, they will back off. Use words like value and superior without actually saying anything negative about the locally produced item.

The local company can't sue you for not buying their product! Sorry- I buy the best product that I can afford. I would love to buy local but I won't do it JUST for the sake of doing it. If he goes to the media he will look like a whiner.

How can anyone sue you for not buying their product?

I always buy local if they have a comparable product at a comparable price. If I can buy better out of state, over-seas, whatever, I buy it.

However, if you have reason to believe that the media and community might take their side for some reason, maybe you should offer the locals a chance to meet your demands.

How much is local good will worth to your business?

Can you go to the local media and say "We won'tcompromise and rip you off just to use an inferior product made locally? Make a better product for us to offer our consumer, and we;ll gladly use you!?

purely make confident the region has a sturdy acceptance and it is going to be high quality. i've got on no account had a situation with procuring horse products off the internet. Use a visa card or something to pay for it. once you pass to envision out it supply you an entire which comprise postage. maximum websites will submit your products while the money has come by using.

I do not know enough on this topic to comment, but I know local business get under cut by the large manufacturers (type of) like Walmart because they can not compete for the people's desire for cheap bargains.

I also admit that I prefer to shop in local stores because I feel customer service receives more attention than in the larger business because the local ones really want your business. I feel creapy going into Walmart.

Stop being intimidated by these people. Tell them if they don't shut up you're going to the local media and expose them for harassing you. Also tell them you're going to a lawyer, and then do it. It will cost about $200, depending where you live, to have an attorney write a letter for you to tell these people to shut up. You will feel a lot better and they will disappear.

You have a right to buy goods and services from whomever you choose. Do not be bullied.

Let them whine this is a capitalist nation. If your product is inferior then you will be beaten by another similar product that is better.

depends on how much worse
