Article
When you wander through antique and thrift stores in America’s heartland, you discover a unique style of marketing, quite different from the flashy techniques you'd find on Broadway in New York.
Have you ever been asked, "Do you know anyone your size who might need a leather jacket?" or "Any idea what someone could do with a Queen Anne’s chair?" These subtle prompts are ways store owners draw your attention to items you might have missed.
Unlike large discount stores, these second-hand shops often depend on word-of-mouth marketing and are open to negotiating prices. Reflecting on history, there was a time when barter was essential. Skills were exchanged for necessities, with doctors accepting livestock for services and store owners trading flour for eggs.
Ecommerce would have been alien to someone like famed writer Laura Ingalls Wilder. In her time, connecting with someone in New York could take weeks via mail. Yet, from her era, we learn the value of creative thinking. Once, produce and skills were traded for staple goods; today, creativity flourishes in online marketing and networking.
Ecommerce thrives on the relationships forged through networking, which boosts traffic and success. The key to overcoming online business challenges is imaginative thinking.
The adage holds: there are no problems, only solutions. Entrepreneurs who seek solutions succeed, leaving excuses behind. While many wouldn't want to return to Wilder’s days, her pioneering spirit lives in the maverick nature of ecommerce.
Think back to the 1980s when the Internet was not yet widespread. If approached about creating a website to globalize your business, you might have scoffed. Yet, some adventurous businesses embraced ecommerce early, discovering a fresh sales approach.
These early adopters have enjoyed substantial rewards. Many report significant online sales, surpassing their brick-and-mortar success. Achieving this took time, patience, and an embrace of ecommerce.
Someday, we'll look back on these times with nostalgia, recognizing how the maverick spirit of ecommerce pioneers inspired future generations.
