Our business has definitely taken a hit over the last 6 months,unfortunately some business owners think when times get tough that's the time to reel in on their advertising when it should be the opposite.I've got local restaurants that are complaining about business and yet their not willing to put out a decent coupon when the trend nationally with the "big boys" is just that.I've even heard the likes of Ruth Criss's on the radio recently with dinner for two specials.
Overall,it's getting very interesting being in outside sales and listening to numerous business people's complaints.As for us I'm about fed up with health insurance,my mrs has rheumatoid arthritis and as small business owners we're now paying $1226 month for coverage and there's absolutely no help because no other company is going to touch a pre-existing condition.
