Find your niche!
During our recent workshops on "
How To Start Your Own Business," our presenters reminded entrepreneurs to create businesses that
solve problems for others--that give customers a solution or product they
value and can't easily find elsewhere. Maybe it's a unique product or an excellent costumer service experience! Yes, shopping locally benefits our economy and is a boost to businesses. However, it can be a real plus for the consumer too! Give it a try and see what
unique finds are in and around Chester County--from custom gifts like handmade quilts and wreaths to beautiful furniture. We have companies that offer excellent services you sure can't buy online--home repair and maintenance, beauty salons, accountants, restaurants, medical professionals, printers, auto care, etc,
Think local first!
