I knew I could have some trouble when Netflix started renting DVDs with no late fees. But now it has downloads. There’s no way I can compete with that. But I have this store with fixtures & inventory. I’m stuck.
I used what I could from the information in this forum & your web site. Netflix is like an antibiotic-resistant bacteria or a virus that just laughs at antibiotics. I need something heavy-duty.
Other business owners & I worked together & had some success, but their competitors aren’t as strong as mine. Though what I have is good for ongoing purchases/rentals, it seems the businesses & I tapped out our customers.
I need many new customers and ways to bring back customers I lost.
