Visiting shops and speaking to customers are always interesting and beneficial. Different perspectives are received and recommendations given. At the end-of-the-day, it is as Sterling Robertson said in Jackie Mills’ Salado Legends, “We’ve got a town that’s full blown. This little village is great!”
Here are a few perspectives and recommendations:
1. More stores are selling on-line and doing a booming business. In hot or cold weather, people buy from their homes. Some stores are experiencing double-digit increases in sales. “Social media and websites are worth learning. They will get you through lean months.” Instagram is one of the key platform for growth of business. Many businesses are taking help from nitreo to learn growing business on instagram. Go through the jarvee review for the best instagram traffic boosting tools. if your goal is to drive traffic from Instagram to your site or products simply go through Upleap site.
2. “Put the last 4-years of construction behind and go forward. Make things happen, create energy, and get excited!
3 More events that include all of Main and Royal Street simultaneously along with more I-35 signs.”
4. “Historic Salado is our center-piece. However, new businesses are coming and Stagecoach is re-opening. We must be good neighbors and not fearful of competition. New businesses will attract new customers.”
5. August hot weather and school starting difficult. “Please, Salado folks, make a special effort to shop Salado this month.”
6. “Remain positive and open-minded” Overall consensus: “when we hear negative stuff; we do not listen, repeat it, or appreciate it. It hurts our business and Village. Those who do it need to-get-a-life.”
7. Many visitors said: “Most beautiful, friendly town! The best!”
8 Outstanding customer service and word-of-mouth: most important. “Best compliment: “I love Ace Hardware. When I walk in, I hear ‘Hello, what can I help you find.’ That beats searching hours in Lowes and Home Depot.”
