Main Street America

The return to bricks-and-mortar shopping is on the rebound, with consumer exuberance pushing supply chains to near failure and inventories for many goods to all-time lows. In fact, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), overall consumer expenditures increased 11.3 percent in the first quarter of 2021.

While it may feel and look similar to consumerism à la 2019, we cannot let the excitement mask the fact that interactions between businesses and consumers have fundamentally changed, creating new opportunities for how small businesses can generate revenues. And small businesses have gotten the message. According to the inaugural American Express Entrepreneurial Spirit Trendex survey of U.S. small and mid-sized business owners, 76 percent of those polled have pivoted or are in the process of pivoting since the pandemic, and among those, 73 percent expect to pivot again in the next year. As such, the “pivot” is here to stay.

One of the more obvious shifts that occurred included the increase in the number of small businesses conducting sales through e-commerce platforms. And while we are making great strides with getting more businesses online, there are many more actions small businesses can explore as part of their long-term “pivot plan.” To get started, let’s explore 11 shifts small businesses should take into consideration:
Lets talk roofs

Roofs are perhaps the most critical features of a building. They protect not only the structure itself, but the interior spaces, furnishings, and human occupants. This web feature is a facsimile of an exhibit on roofing for historic buildings entitled: "From Asbestos to Zinc", prepared for roofing professionals attending the 1999 Roofing Conference and Exposition for Historic Buildings in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Navigate through the sidebar to learn more about the appearance, composition, manufacture and application of roofing materials and systems. Click your mouse on thumbnail images to view many of the drawings and photographs in greater detail.

Throughout history, roofing materials and installation practices have reflected both advances in technology and shifting tastes in architectural styles. Understanding something of the history of this critical building component is an important starting point for decisions about treatments that are the focus of several of the Preservation Briefs, easy to read guides on preserving, rehabilitating and restoring historic buildings. The Technical Services Branch of the National Park Service produces and publishes this information in order to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of roofing in historic buildings and to stimulate public efforts for more sensitive preservation and rehabilitation work.
