There are always pros and cons to “big” companies moving into a community and often the local shops that don’t understand their strength and weaknesses, are the ones who will struggle.
This is why the SWOT analysis is an important tool, but unfortunately is often overlooked by small businesses.
If you know your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, then you have a much better chance of benefiting from a change to the local economy.
Relationship building and great customer service can make or break a company regardless of size and the business owners who understand this will have a better chance of succeeding next door to their new “big tech” neighbor.
Here is an article written by Jordyn Dahl, titled “What happens to the local shops when a tech giant moves next door?” which does a good job of explaining both the pros and cons of big tech moving into communities.
Are you ready? Have you done a SWOT analysis? No time like the present to prepare for the future!
