CMV: Local businesses that offer worse services for a higher price and rely on just the sentiment of "supporting local m
Businesses have to start somewhere but it is objectively worse and meaningfully more expensive when your only differentiator is “support local” then honestly, it has no durable competitive advantage. We live in such a competitive market, that "locality" is not a strategy it’s basically just a guilt tax wrapped with a local face. Over time, most customers will defect unless the customer base is unusually captive or irrational.
“Support local” is marketing frosting. It can reduce price sensitivity a bit, but it rarely overcomes consistently bad value.
I understand that small scale means more expensive goods but why do I have to pay $80 for a pillow with a Christmas sticker slapped on it just because it's sold local?
