Here's and age old idea of basic economics. Taylor your business hours around the normal working hours of your 'potential' customers. Why even have a business, like to hardware, lumber, even home and office supplies when you are open when your 'customers' are at work. It appears if you stagger your business hours to entice and reward new customers to frequent your business, you will be surprised at the amount of untapped revenue you will see at 'the bottom line'. When most customers get off work to do their shopping, they find the business's also are getting off work and close up their doors. Here's an idea; get a second shift going at your business including weekends, to get a better customer data base and then offer 'customer satisfaction, even to 'outsiders'. If all business's start this [new] trend in Batesville, they might be presently surprised at the increase in cash inflow and even equally importantly they will find a dedicated customer data base and referrals. If your business is [closed] how can you compete with those corporate giants open 24/7? Customers want to support their communities but also want to shop after work AND on weekends. A simple solution? or just a burden on business owners. The secondary off-take of this idea is more jobs for our community. You have to spend money to make money. Everyone wins..business owner, customers, and job seekers.
